"A Cottage Style Bride" Gift Basket
Here's the idea Girls,
I would like for the team to generate some funds so that we can start buying some prime real estate in some popular magazines! In order to do this, I have hatched a two-fold marketing plan. This idea will both generate funds and exposure. I need volunteers!
We will be putting together some promotional packs with a theme.
Our first theme (since June is right around the corner) will be "A Cottage Style Bride". I need CSST members to sign up to make 10 items for the gift basket.
The 10 items must be Cottage Style.
They must all be the same thing.
They should be "for the bride"-- Think: jewelry, soap, lotions, stationary, thank you cards, decorations, candles, things for the home...whatever! We are a creative bunch so I know we'll be able to make an irresistable gift basket!
If you sign up to contribute, you will be sending me 10 items for 10 baskets--all the same.
You will also include 10 business cards with a description of the item you made for the basket, written on the back.
The business cards will be put in a pretty envelope and will be included in each gift basket.
My contribution (besides what I make) will be the gift basket and wrapping. If someone wants to volunteer to make a decoration for the gift basket--like a banner that says "For the Bride" or a ribbon & Flower accent--sign up to do that.
These baskets will go on Sale starting June 1st.
All contributions must be mailed to me by Monday, May 26th so that I can get the baskets together, photographed and listed by June 1st.
This is a great opportunity for your shop to get noticed and for our Team, as a whole, to generate some money for advertising!
Sign up soon so you have plenty of time to create!
Love,
Sadie Lou

Hey, Sadie. I know we only have a couple of soap makers on here. I'd love to make 10 white lilac fancy soaps. I'll have each specially wrapped in some kind of romantic way. Great idea and great exposure for all! Wendy/BerryLane/CottageBubbles

Sadie Lou,
This is such a lovely idea. I have 5 x 7 prints of my bride oil painting. I think I might create them into blank cards for the bride. Karen
OK, count me in. I think it will be a set of note cards but I need to put some thought into it.
This sounds like so much fun!! I'd love to join in!!! :)
