Hi there,

I've been asked for PC donation for my son's pre-school.
I'd like to do a small gift basket. I need a catchy description of what
I'm donating for a booklet they're doing. I want to say something
that will encourage a further purchase or booking. Any suggestions?


Thanks!
Ellen
 
I do this at my son's school. I am completely unimaginative, so I use the catalog description (since those folks get paid to come up with good descriptions).

At the top, I put the total retail value of the products. Next comes a line about a FREE show where I mail the invitations for them and buy the ingredients for a delicious recipe.

Lastly I list the products, page number, description & price. I tuck a catalog into the basket, too.

How about just putting out some cards or SS catalogs next to the basket for people to take. Have a special for bookings typed out on a sticker stuck to the front of the catalogs.
