What
you do now…
- You
select the days you want to run.
Programs run mid week, during school
hours. An average school of 400
students will typically run Monday
to Wednesday or Tuesday to Thursday
with merchandise pickup on Friday.
- Request
your confirmation of those dates
from Holiday Station. There is no
money due at this time. Your invoice
to Holiday Station is due at the
conclusion of your shop after you
have collected your payments for
gifts.
- Holiday
Station will project your gift needs
based on your schools past history
or the demographics of your school
and it's enrollment.
The
early fall…
- In
the fall you will receive your program
supplies and your program guide.
- Recruit
your volunteers. You will need 4-8
volunteers to setup, operate and
pack up your shop.
- Place
Holiday Station advertising posters
in your school 14-28 days before
your event.
- Send
out the promotional flyers that
Holiday Station provides about 14
days before your first shopping
day. Copy your date information
and details onto the back of the
free fliers that we provide.
- Holiday
Station will ship your merchandise
in accordance with your program
dates. There is no cost for shipping.
The
week of your shop…
- You
set up your shop on the day before
your start date.
- Every
item has a clearly identified your
"school cost". This is
the price you pay when you total
your invoice. You reprice the items
based on your goals for the program.
Most schools run the program more
as a "service" to the
children and less as a "fundraiser".
Either way you decide all of your
final selling prices to the children.
We will give you retail guidelines
for each item that you may use at
your option.
- Your
Master Inventory Sheets summarize
your delivery. This easy to use
system shows your opening inventory
for each item. At the conclusion
of your event you will record your
return inventory and total your
sales of each item. The Master Inventory
Sheets are returned to Action Events.
- Children
shop by class, your volunteers help
the children in their selections
(especially K- 2). Children receive
merchandise and take gifts home
with them. Holiday Station provides
free "gift wrap bags"
for each gift purchased.
- At
conclusion of your program inventory
and pack up your returns. Holiday
Station pays for return shipping.
- You
return your paperwork and payment
to Holiday Station.
It's
easy!
