Holiday Baskets - Basket Promotion for 2006
 The Christmas season is fast approaching. Our Holiday Basket promotion is now a Chamber tradition, anticipated by our community with great delight. We want to thank each of you for your past participation and we want to extend this invitation to all members, present and new, to sign- up to be a part of this special promotion this 2006 season. The Christmas Basket promotion continues to be a very successful community effort and terrific exposure for our membership. Thousands of customers' entries are received each year through the member businesses that sign on as registration sites.
Gift Baskets filled with products and services, either sold or produced here in Plymouth, is given away, one each week, during the four weeks before Christmas. Retailers may want to contribute specialty items they would like to promote. And, every year, the Retail Merchants Committee extends an invitation to our Industrial members to feature products manufactured here; for example, Del Monte Foods Corporation ketchup or Bay Valley Foods, products. Highlighting these products will raise public awareness of items sold and produced in our community.
For those who sign on as registration sites, this promotion brings customers into your store each week to sign up for these four drawings. Each week, the participating business is to bring that week's sign-up slips to the Chamber office by the following Monday. Customers must sign up each week. Each drawing is made from that batch of sign up slips gathered the preceding week.
For a Chamber member business to participate, please call us at 936-2323 to let us know to expect your participation, as a gift giver and as a registration site. Then, bring your four like items, the goods or services you want to donate from your store or business, to the Chamber before 4:00 P.M. on Friday, November 17. Remember to make sure your business is identified (business name and location) on each product item. And remember, too, your own in-house gift certificates will bring the recipients back into your store.
We will give you the sign-up slips, bucket, and posters. We prepare the gift baskets, and display the contents of one basket in our front window, along with the list of participating businesses beginning the week of Thanksgiving.
The first drawing will be Monday, November 27, followed by drawings scheduled for December 4th, 11th, and 18th.
Our Chamber members are the gift givers and registration sites. They benefit with name recognition and the influx of customers during this promotion. Your Chamber Staff facilitates the promotion for you, and we reap the most delightful benefit- - presenting the baskets to the winners. Over the years, the very grateful recipients have tugged at our heart strings and made this a very 'giving' promotion!
Thanks for your help in this promotion!
We wish everyone a prosperous holiday season! |
