Tips and InformationSo you’ve been asked to Chair a Holiday Store for your school? Great! You’ve come to the right place. All dates open and available to everyone!  Choosing your desired profit levelWhen choosing your desired level of profit, keep in mind that schools often make more money in the end when their prices are lower. For example, parents would rather spend $20 for six items rather than $10 for two. Merchandise arrival and advertising the event- Once you fill out your Reservation Form, your products are scheduled to ship.
- We like your advertising items to arrive about 3 weeks before your scheduled event and your merchandise to arrive 1 week before.
- We are always available to discuss marketing your Holiday Store event with you.
- Parent letters are bi-lingual (english/spanish)
- What do you do once the event is over? Click here.
Setting up your storeYour Elf Shelf ® merchandise comes packaged in alphabetically labeled boxes to aid in easy set up. - Before unpacking, simply put your boxes in alphabetical order.
 - When unpacking your boxes, open and unpack them in alphabetical order so that they are displayed in price range order. Starting with your lowest priced items (Box A) and ending with your highest priced items (Box E).
- When setting up your tables, place all of the PC#1 items in the same area and display a price tent that you have labeled with the price you have chosen to sell all of your PC#1 items for.
- Next place all of your PC#2 items in an area and mark those with a price tent. (and so on)
- Since all of the items are already marked with price code stickers, all your cashier needs is one price list to know the prices of all of the merchandise.
- For example, all PC #1 cost 25¢, all PC #2 items cost 50¢ and so on.
As long as you stay with one level of profit for everything you sell, WE DO NOT REQUIRE YOU TO TAKE BEGINNING OR ENDING INVENTORY. This will save you hours of valuable volunteer time and makes closing out your store simple and smooth. We take pride in our school friendly program and services. It is the most streamlined and easy to do program available.
