Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How does the program work?
A: We provide your school with a gift selection of about 100 items. ALL ON CONSIGNMENT! Your volunteers set up a "gift-store" area in the school. Students come to the store and purchase gifts for family and friends in a safe and comfortable environment. All gifts are "kid priced" and we have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. AND...YOU SET YOUR OWN PROFIT!!! Traditional or No Inventory programs are available!

Q: What is a Traditional Program?
A: With the Traditional program you will know what you owe by counting your leftover merchandise when your shop is over, and then calculating your inventory sheets. You have all of the flexibility to price your items at ANY amount above the school cost that you choose.

Q: What is a No Inventory Program?
A: You pre-select a percentage of profit that you would like to make on the program. We provide pre-printed price stickers. You DO NOT need to count individual items. You will know what you owe by daily counting of all money taken in, totaling each days totals, and subtracting your agreed upon profit percentage.
