Some sale ideas
Posted: Saturday, August 19, 2006 5:19 AM (UMST)

While on home leave this summer, the Cox family visited our church, St. Paul's ELCA in Lutherville MD.  Although we are a small church and the Cox visit was on a Tuesday night, we still managed to sell nearly $800 worth of crafts. Most of the success for this sale can be attributed to the wonderful Powerpoint presentation by both Pr. Doug and Monica.

The crafts are beautiful and the quality is excellent!  Encourage your congregation to do their Christmas shopping and other gift shopping at your Manna table. Not only will they be pruchasing quality gifts at a very reasonible price, but they will also be giving a hand up to these remarkable women!

Manna handicrafts have been a great hit here in the West.  At Synod Assembly in Albuquerque, total sales were over $3500 plus an additional $2000 from a Thrivent Regional match.  The draft request for Thrivent local chapter matches will be posted soon to the Manna site.  Find out from your pastor who the local Thrivent chapter leader is and submit a request for matching money.   

Helpful sales hints:  be sure to  give people additional suggestions for use of products.  For instance, the desk box can also be used for tea bags; cosmetic bags and pencil cases as purse organizers; key chains can be used to carry around all of those little plastic “discount” cards one gets so they're handy when shopping.  Also, suggest that people spray their raffia purses and bags with a clear acrylic sealer (such as one gets at a crafts store) to protect the items and make them longer lasting.
