Dollar General Discount to Drive Holiday Toy Sales
Keywords: Sponsorship Sales

With the vast majority of toys it sells being $5 or less, it's not likely that many individuals are going to spend $250 for the holidays on these items at Dollar General.

There are individuals and organizations, however, engaged in toy drives that are looking to buy large quantities of toys at a low price. These are the shoppers the chain has targeted with a 10 percent discount on bulk toy purchases of $250 or more between now and Christmas Eve.

Pink It And Shrink It No More For Female Fans
Keywords: Sponsorship Sales

On every Saturday during this time of year, our house is decorated in orange and blue. Even though our children are very young, they know better than to get in the way of the television when the Gators are playing. You see, these are simply my wife's rules.

Daily Sales Tip: Want to find great prospects in the home improvement category? Look around the store. Target the makers of products you see on end-caps, wing-stacks, and floor displays.

After selecting the companies, refer to RAB.com for Alternative Revenue ideas and Coop information.
