How to run a Holiday ShopBy Kids’ Korner Gift Shoppes®

“Kids’ Korner Gift Shoppes®” is a service program made

available to you through your local distributor.

This program is run by volunteer parents and grandparents

who want to offer their children the opportunity to shop for

friends and family in a safe & non-commercial environment.

An outline of how the program works is as follows:

1. Your group obtains permission to use space in your school for

a few days around the holidays to run the shop.

2. We send you a Promo Kit that contains:A Step by Step Guide to Run a ShopA Watch For Flyer for each StudentWatch For Posters for around the SchoolA Has Arrived Flyer for each Student andA Gift Guide Envelope for each Student

3. In late September or Early October, you send home the “Watch For” Announcement & Recruiting Fliers we have provided to announce your upcoming Shoppe and help you recruit volunteers.

4. A few days before your shop begins we deliver a pre-selected assortment of gifts.

There are a wide variety of Gifts suitable for “Moms”, “Dads”, “Grandmas”, “Grandpas”, “Aunts”, “Uncles”, “Teachers”, “Baby Brothers”, “Baby Sisters”, “Big Brothers”, “Big Sisters”, “Friends” and even “Pets”.

Current gift items can be seen by visiting our web site: www.kknortheast.com and when at the site click on New Products.

5. A few days before your Shoppe begins you send home “Has Arrived” fliers, on which you

have imprinted the times and dates of your Shoppe, plus “Gift Guide Envelopes” with each student.

6. The parents sit down with the children and help them budget how

much to spend on each member of the family, etc.

7. The night before shopping begins, volunteers set up a display of the Gift Shoppe items

by price group -- Items have a price group code on them to help make setting up and checking out easy. It takes 5 to 6 - 6’ tables - covered with the Tablecloths provided by “Kids’ Korner Gift Shoppes®”

8. On shopping day, the children bring their “Gift Guide Envelopes” to school and take turns shopping for gifts of their choice.

9. When the child has finished shopping . . . the gifts selected and his or her "Gift Guide Envelope" are given to the cashier.

Using the Cash Register loaned to you by your Kids’ Korner Gift Shoppes® distributor, the purchases are totaled, change is made and placed in the "Gift Guide Envelope" and the Cash Register receipt attached.

10. After paying for their gifts the children are sent to a gift wrapping station where gifts are matched up with the right size self sealing Metallic Gift Bags we provide.

All items are then placed in one of the large plastic bags provided by your Kids' Korner Gift Shoppes® Distributor.

Marking the plastic bags with the student’s name and room number and holding them to the end of the day is appreciated by staff.

11. When your sale is over, you pack all the leftover merchandise and Kids’ Korner Gift Shoppes® will have it picked up.

We take back all unsold merchandise for full credit

. . . and there is NEVER A SHIPPING CHARGE!

What it is really all about. . .

We also have outdoor Banners to Advertise your shop,

and we have posters for inside the school and a Door panel for the Door of your shop.

Plus, we have Price Tents for your tables and Pricing Posters for the walls around the room.
