Halloween

I gave away 45 new Glow-in-the-Dark Halloween PEZ dispensers (MIB) this evening. That's a few more than I expected, considering that the high temperature here was in the mid-thirties. I wore the hat from my Peter PEZ costume, and my son wore his Spider-Man costume to help me give out the dispensers. I taped a "coupon" on each package that is redeemable for a free pack of PEZ candy at the store when I have Sourz and some older PEZ for sale. Sneaky? Maybe. Good advertising? I think so.

It's been a while since I did an upate... I have made quite a few sales in the store now, and even had to restock the 24 count counter display. Frank (the store owner) said that one lady bought all of the pumpkins because the heads didn't glow (the stems glow). She didn't want glowing heads around her children's bedrooms that might scare them if they awoke during the night. The Sourz and refills have been selling some also. I'm hoping to go by there tonight to check on stock so I know what to bring on Friday.

I had an ad in the Valley Center Sweet Adelines show program this weekend. It was a 1/4 page ad on the inside back cover (so the background was orange instead of white). I think that was a good location, since it was next to the index of advertisers, and anywhere on a cover is more likely to be seen than many of the inside pages. The show theme was Feelin' Groovy so I had a Psychedelic Flower and some old 60's candy packs in the ad.

Sales!

I've sold 2 pez in the store! Yippee! Okay, it's a slow start, but at least it's a start. Tomorrow we will be delivering the Sourz floor display and some candy refill packs if I can find them.
