Member to Member:  a sweet note from our last buzz worthy winner:  “I just received the product from About Face.  We as a store feel very blessed that we received this product free.  What a fun experience.  The Gift Shop smelled wonderful when the product came as it was air fresheners’.  Thank you again.”   Metro Health Hospital, Wyoming, MI

Question: “Does anyone still use the strategy “pile it high and let it fly?”

Reply:  “We tend to just put one thing out in a nice display with other items. When people see that you have too many of one item sometimes, they are less apt to buy. It is not a one of a kind thing. Also a bunch of one item can be cluttering. It is better to put things in a nice display. Now if you pile on the sale then it will fly.”
