Phoo-Phoo Delivery Sacks

Phoo-Phoo Delivery Sacks

The Awesome Cindy Mahanay, pictured below, of our Million Dollar Dynasty Unit shares the following great idea.

She wants her customers to feel as special when they receive their reorder sack as she made them feel when she pampered them with the product at their appointment. So, she phoo-phoos each sack with a little razzle-dazzle and makes each customer feel like they are receiving a gift from her, even though they just paid her for it.

I have taken her very idea and made it work for me. Here's what you need:

Hot pink tulle (77cents per yard at Walmart, Hobby Lobby or a fabric store)

Pretty wire garland (I found it at the Party Section of Hobby Lobby for less than $2.00)

Samples from Section 2

White curly ribbon

I had my Office Assistant make several of these, so they are ready at a moments notice for a reorder. If you don't have them prepared ahead of time, you probably won't do it.

Cut the tulle into squares (approximately six inch squares).

Place a sample--spa lotion, fragrance vial, etc--in the tulle

Tie with curly ribbon

Cut a piece of wire garland about 8 inches long(my wire is multi-colored stars; Cindy used red hearts for February)

Slip the cut wire through the curly ribbon. Now it is ready to be attached to a reorder sack. Make lots of these so you are always prepared.

Cut several pieces of curly ribbon to have ready to tie around the handles of your sack to add more curly ribbon.

Now you're ready. When you get a reorder, just take one of your samples and attach the wired garland around your handles and twist to attach. It will look like a circle. Add a piece of your white curly ribbon also to the handles and tie or curl. Takes only seconds and really dresses up the sack! Cindy reports that about 1/3 of the samples turns into new orders for new products.

I do this with both the large and small plastic sacks and also the small and large shopping bags. If the order is sizeable, I always place it in a shopping bag with the silver tissue and these samples attached to the cord handles. The shopping bags are great if you are delivering to an office, as often the customer sets the bag out somewhere and co-workers see it. Great advertising.
