Dear Queenswood staff and volunteers,
I look forward to seeing many of you at the birthday celebration next week; I hope you’re able to swing by Queenswood for some tea and cake if you have some free time.
I wanted to let you know about a goal I have: to distribute all 10,000 of our 2010 catalogues throughout the city (and beyond) by the end of May. And believe it or not, we’re already well on our way to achieving this goal; we’ve already given away an estimated 1,500 catalogues in just the last 2 weeks! I’ll be ordering another print of 10,000 catalogues when our current supply runs low, and that order should take us until November when the 2011 catalogue (yes I’m already thinking about 2011!) will come out.
So, given this goal, I was you would help by taking copies of the catalogue to your favourite coffee shops, bookstore, hair salons, doctor’s offices, dentist’s offices, grocery stores, book clubs, friends’ houses, knitting circles, etc. If we each take 70 catalogues to distribute to 2 or 3 places, we’ll have it all done.
And to make this challenge a little more interesting, I have an exciting prize for the staff person or volunteer who distributes the highest number of catalogues. I’ll email everyone again when we reach our goal, and then you can send me the number of catalogues you distributed. If you’ve already been distributing catalogues, please make sure you include those numbers as well! We’ll award the prize at the May or June birthday celebration.
Feel free to just come by Queenswood any time and pick up a stack (or a box!) of catalogues.
One important final note: before you leave a catalogue anywhere, please ask for permission from the store manager or a clerk first. Otherwise the catalogues will just be thrown out and we’ll develop a reputation for unimpressive promotional strategies!
Ready. Set. Go!
Good luck,
|
