A lady I have known for probably around 18 years has sadly been stricken with breast cancer. Her coworkers decided to have a benefit in her honor to help raise funds to pay for hospital bills. I designed tons of stuff for the benefit including, flyers, tickets, seed packet giveaways and placemats (thats a complete side note but am excited to have been able to help out behind the scene). So one of the tickets i designed was a door prize ticket, so i decided i would donate 5 coupons packaged nicely in a brown enevlope with my logo on the front and my gold wax seal on the back sealing inside an advertising card with a quick reference price list on the back, a business card and the coupon for either a free 8x10 or 8 wallets with a completed photo session! I'm super excited and hope that I get some business from this simple marketing strategy!

Not only was I able to help the benefit and make five donations but am at the same time able to advertise my business through the list of sponsors on each placemat and also through the door prize!!! YAY!!! And I know that two of the winners of my donations had their little ones with them!!! YAY!!! Mommies with cuties!!! Perfect!!! I will keep you all updated as to whether or not I get calls from any of the winners!!! If its a success I'm going to make sure to make up some more donations and keep them on hand for future benefits and fundraisers!!!

Here are some photos of my giveaway---just for fun because i'm so excited!!!lol

this is what the certificate looks like:
