Packing and Display: The choice of style is yours!
|
|
| We can pack your merchandise in our ROLLING METAL DISPLAY CASES. For those of you familiar with a book fair, it works just like a book fair. We roll the cases into your sales area then you open the cases each morning and start selling. Close the cases at night for security. Roll the cases down the hall to each classroom if you'd like. No more hassle of setting up your display - we roll it in ready for you to start selling. (Rolling cases are provide on written request and are subject to availability. We can handle many, many schools in cases, however, cases are not available outside our regular delivery zone - you need to sign up early if you wish to use the cases.).
|
For schools outside out regular delivery areas, we offer our "Quick and Easy" Table-Top Display boxes - your merchandise can be packed in cardboard table-top display boxes. The items are packed in descending cost. Simply cover the tables decorative plastic tablecloths we provide. Then line up the display boxes in order on the tables. Remove the box tops from the display boxes and you are ready to begin selling
|
Schools may also choose to set up their display in the original way - covering the tables with tabelcloths, then setting out a sample of each item in descending price order, keeping the remaining stock on tables behind the display or under the display table. This style of display lets you show off the gifts in a very attractive manner.
