 The
Elf Shelf Holiday Shop
The In-School Shopping Program that's
fun for everyone!
Students love it . . .
For many children, this may be the first time they experience the thrill of picking out their own gifts for family and friends.
Parents love it . . .
During the holiday season, parents can rest assured that their children will shop in a safe, non-commercial setting.
Teachers love it . . .
Your faculty can teach their students about budgeting and spending wisely, and emphasize the joy of giving.
Administrators love it. . .
The Elf Shelf is a popular family service that's risk-free and easy-to-run!
We have carried several "Christmas Store" programs in the past and "The
Elf Shelf" is by far the best, and the one AIM Fundraising is
sticking with. The fact that we have more repeat customers with
this program than any other we've tried says volumes!
Three important differences are the keys to its success.
- The quality and the price of the merchandise is second to none!
It means you'll have happy students and parents with this program!
- The pricing of the merchandise is such that making a good profit
doesn't mean having to set your sales price to the moon!
- The Elf Shelf is packaged in such a way that you are sent merchandise according to
the size of your student body and the sales track record of each
particular item. (You receive lots of the "hot" selling
gifts and fewer of the slower selling items.) That means you
won't end up with way too much, or way too few of any of the gift
items. If you have any items that are giving you
"runaway" sales, you simply call and they will be restocked
for you via Next Day Fed Ex! (At no charge!)
The Elf Shelf features over 100 different
high-quality gift items priced within a child's budget---from pocket
change to $12, with most gifts under $3. You'll find something here
for everyone on a child's list: Mom, Dad, brothers, sisters,
grandparents and special friends.
The Elf Shelf was developed by listening to the needs and past
experience of school administrators, teachers and parents. The
result is an in-school shopping program that is simple and
straightforward. Everything you need to run a successful Elf Shelf is included -- all you do is sign up volunteers.
You will receive all the materials you need to run the sale including:
- Sponsor Guide to give you suggestions and
examples on how to set up, advertise and run your Christmas
Store. There are even suggestions on how you can use The
Elf Shelf to help teach students about money,
budgeting and bargain hunting!
- Money envelopes for the students and gift bags to
place the merchandise sold for the student to take the gift(s) home
and place under the tree.
- Price list and inventory sheets to help you manage your sale and set prices.
Best of all, The Elf Shelf is RISK-FREE: it won't cost
your school a penny---there are no freight charges or hidden
costs---you only pay for the merchandise you sell---and everyone
enjoys the holiday spirit.
