Do any of you send out flyers to local offices advertising your holiday goodies? I'm wanting to do that this year, but not sure what to advertise. I don't want to put too much on there, but I want people to look at it and say, "Ooh, let's get on of those for the office party!"
So what all do you include? Do you just pick out your favorite items and list them? Do you do strictly cakes, or a few cakes, a few pies, etc?
I need a little direction, lol  |

I did mine and took all the pics of everything first so people could see what the items looked like (except for the cookie trays, that was tooooo much!). It was time consuming but I truly think pictures sell better than words - or at least both, ya know?
If you are not doing pics, just list the items with a festive clip-art and some sizing options (like a small tray, large ) just a few different price points, IMHO
Also, do you realize I ADORE the cake in your name thingie on the left?? It is so cute and simple but so clean and well done and I think of it often  I just love it!!
edited to add: Sorry! forgot to say that I can't upload a pic of mine but if you click on the www and then Holiday, I have both sides on my website. HTH |

I listed all of my items individually and a price per dozen and then allow the customers to pick and choose what they'd like to make a platter out of (since some prefer to just have all of one item or a variety, etc.)
Then for a small platter add $3.00, medium add $5.00, large add $7.00 size of platter is determined by number of items they choose to put on it, the additional charge is for the platter, a lid, a bow, and a card.
This is my first time doing this so hopefully I'm doing it right lol
I'm offering
Decorated Sugar cookies
Peanut butter tarts (peanut butter cookies in a mini muffin pan w/ reese's stuck in)
Pecan paws (mini pretzel w/ a rolo on top and then a pecan half)
Fudge (chocolate, walnut, peanut butter, peanut butter and choc. swirl)
Cake Truffles (Lemon, Pumpkin Spice, Choc. Cherry, White choc. raspberry)
Chocolate covered pretzels (milk choc/white choc.)
Cookie Bouquets (sm-3 cookies, medium-5 cookies Lg-10 cookies X-lg-15 cookies
And then the listing for the platters that says any of the above listed items can be made into a platter, must order at least 1/2 doz of each item with the exception of cookies (which can be ordered individually) |

Hmmm.... according to that test, KHalstead, I am not at all a good person. |

none of us are Mensch! I don't match up either!
I can email it to ya if you want to see it full sized.......I'm not too computer literate (it's a miracle I was able to create that brochure and turn it from a document into a pdf to even be able to post it here LOL) |

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I would appreciate it if you would email it to me also. I tried & got it to open in a teeny tiny size. When I tried to zoom in to see better, everything got so fuzzy I couldn't see anything.
Thank you.

Was the brochure designed using Vista Print or did you do that yourself? Great layout, soft colors ~ I really like it! Not busy either.....that was my worry, lol. |

KHalstead, I was wondering what you charge for your cake truffles. I can read your brochure somewhat, but was curious what you were charging per dozen. I'm having a hard time pricing mine. By the way, that is a great selection of goodies for Christmas! |

they are $6.00 per dozen, I figured out that they cost me around $.13 each to make them. Takes me around 2 hrs. to make 100 of them from cooled cake to finished product. So I can live with that price. |
