Ok, so I made all these great TIFY (This Is For You) packets and have yet to give one out. Blame it on my shyness and my need to not be the "pushy" demo. But I had another thought. After reading a lot of the SU! demo blogs I realized that to lure in potential customers you need to really show them what you can do with the product. That's where the tote bag and matching card came in.
Instead of using a celo bag why not make a coordinating tote bag to put all the goodies in?! They're easy enough to make and really let the customer see what can be done with a piece of cardstock and a stamp set. Yes, they are a bit bulky and cannot fit easily into your purse but they are gosh darn cute! It has all the same goodies as the celo bag: mini catalog, 2 cards (made with stampset from mini, business card magnet, note about SU! and 2 chocolate nuggets).
Instead of randomly handing these totes out to members in the community I'm going to hang them on the doors of the ladies in our condo unit (and it's not solicitation, mean old condo assoc, it's a "Hello From the New Couple Down the Hall" gift). Hopefully that will generate some interest!

EXCELLENT IDEA! I love that you are showing a variety of ways to use our product. I might have to try this myself. Would you mind sharing your letter with me?
