Details on providing gifts for the Red Hot Best Bash gift bag
Please confirm your participation in the Gift Bag by Friday, April 13th.
- Please plan on providing 100 gifts or 300 coupons to stop by your store for a free gift (this method is especially good for things that don’t travel well, like ice cream samples or a free jewelry cleaning).
- Your 100 gifts can be of different items, so if you have 25 water bottles and 75 golf tee sets, that’s fine.
- With your 100 gifts, you may also provide an additional coupon for a discount on services. Discount coupons must be in addition to a free gift of some sort.
- Please let us know when you’ll be dropping off gifts and what those gifts will be by Friday, April 13th.
