2. Receive
Receive promotional material for your sale!
We will ship your promotional items by November 1, so you can begin to advertise several weeks before the sale.
At this time, you may also want to organize a few volunteers: To run a successful and stress-free sale, most schools recruit between 3-5 volunteers. One trusted person can serve as the cashier and other volunteers can assist students with their purchases.

- We supply ready-to-send full color Parent Letters. Money Budget Envelopes are attached at the bottom of the parent letter. Parents can place money in the envelope and to help students budget where to spend their money. There are also instructions for adding money to a student's account online if the parent prefers that to sending cash to school.
- We provide Four Table Covers & Six Wall Posters at no charge to help you advertise the store to your teachers, parents, and students.

3. Pop the Top & Shop
My Holiday Fair arrives! We ship the kits to you and we pay for all shipping. The shop arrives at your school one week before your sale starts.
All the gifts are organized in boxes and items are separated in neat sections. You do not need to sort anything. Just arrange the trays by number, open the lids, and you are ready to start shopping!

A couple more helpful hints:
- Schedule students to shop by one class at a time.
- My Holiday Fair should last 3 days to allow all the students an opportunity to shop, but most schools run their sale for five days.
- Schools tend to run their holiday stores in the first or second week in December because everyone is in the spirit!
- You will receive printed “To and From” shopping bags in small, medium, and large sizes for students to use as gift bags. Also, we provide a plastic shopping bag for each student to carry home all of their packages and gift bags.
4. box up Returns
Box up unsold merchandise in the least amount of boxes possible. You will need to pack the trays into the original master case. Let our office know how many return shipping labels are needed. We will provide the return labels and set up a UPS pick up for you. Place the labels on the boxes and put the boxes in the office where UPS can find them for pick up.
5. Send payment
Calculate what is owed and send payment. When your shop is done, reach out to our office and we will provide an invoice with the balance due. We appreciate if payment can be sent within 2 weeks of the end of your sale, but it is due no later than January 15th.
Please do not put your check in with the leftover merchandise.
