Kids Korner™ has been providing holiday shoppes since 1989, First Class is approaching it's 15th school year. Together, we have the experience and knowledge to help you get the job done right. We are not some "Johnny-come-lately" holiday workshop that is merely an afterthought to fundraising. Kids Korner™ is the original in-school holiday shoppe. Often imitated, never duplicated. Others may claim to be the original or the best, but we say "Dare to Compare". Our fundraising portfolio represents some of the highest quality products available to the industry. We negotiate with suppliers to find the best deal possible so that we are able to offer your group the highest profit margin possible and provide you with "First Class" service. |
About Kids' Korner Gift Shoppes® and First Class Fun Company |
What makes us different: 1. Our merchandise--we annually update our list of available merchandise and we frequently reject or replace items to ensure our gifts are of quality. The buying power of dozens and dozens of Kids Korner distributors servicing many thousands of schools and groups nationwide helps us keep prices lower than our competition. All our products are tested and meet federal lead paint, zinc and lead standards and comply with the new child safety regulations. 2. We listen to YOU! We give our customers the chance to help determine what you're going to sell. No more getting things you don't want! When you get your proposed list of merchandise, simply review it and let us know of any changes you would like to see made. 3. Personal Service. We don't just back a big brown truck up to our door, load it up and forget you. We make our deliveries personally so we can better estimate when your merchandise arrives and control how it is handled. We will gladly meet with you on delivery day to answer questions, review paperwork or go over cash register function if you wish. Customer Service: Ever deal with those people who are only available during "regular" business hours? We feel that's not enough! PTO / Home & School volunteers are parents and grandparents, with jobs, lives and, most importantly, families to think about. Trying to find the time to call while working, running a home or caring for small children can be nearly impossible. Call us on your schedule, not on someone else's. Maybe you feel most comfortable dealing with such things after dinner is over and the kids are settled down. No problem here. Whether it's 10:00 on Wednesday evening or 2:30 Saturday afternoon, we are here for you. As the holiday season draws near, customers are provided with our cell-phone number so that even if we're on the road you can still reach us in an emergency. What We Do: Provide you with an extensive list of merchandise we feel your shoppers will want to buy for their parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters and friends. Provide you with promotional materials to advertise your sale; 2 different flyers and gift guide / budget envelopes for students and posters to hang at the school. Personally deliver your gift assortment to suit your group's schedule. Loan you a pre-programmed cash register for use during your sale. Provide table covers, price cards and gift and shopping bags for your shoppers at no cost to you. Take back all unsold holiday shoppe merchandise for its full value. Including items that arrive to you damaged. Pay sales tax on behalf of all holiday shoppers for groups who use our fundraising products at least once a year. What You Do: Review your gift list and inform us of any merchandise you find objectionable or you feel we should provide more of. Set up your merchandise and run your sale. Pack up and count the items that didn't sell. Have a group check ready for us when we pick up returns after your sale. What You Don't Have To Do: 1) Run all over the area "shopping" at discount stores or go through catalogs to find items for your gift shoppe. Then worry that what you bought won't sell and you'll be "stuck" with it. 2) Pay for things up front. You only pay for your items after your sale is over and you have collected money from your shoppers. 3) Take unsold items to the stores and hope they'll take your returns. Or worse, pay to send them back to a mail-order catalog company and hope to get proper credit. 4) Have money tied up in products that don't sell and you can't return. 5) Store any unsold merchandise for a whole year. 6) WORRY! We have been doing this for a long time, we help you avoid the pitfalls and headaches that most other holiday shoppe suppliers don't even think about or don't care about. Please note: Our policy is not to badger you for business so go ahead and call if you need information or have a question. No one will try to talk you into anything, give you a high-pressure sales pitch, or call you every other day for two months and push you for a decision. We just want you to be well informed and to deal with you honestly and fairly. If you decide to do business with us, just let us know when it's best to reach you, no one likes unnecessary calls at dinner time, during their favorite TV show, or when the kids are napping, so we do our best to respect our customers' wishes. |
