Queen for a Day
From: Debra Bishop
WOW!!  Oh, WOW!!  I LOVE THIS!!!  What a great idea!  This could give you a HUGE Holiday Selling Season!!  I'm going out today to get my crowns and boxes!!
Thanks to Jeannie Terry for forwarding.  I wish I knew whose original idea this was so we could give her the credit due.   I recommend you do them on card stock, fold in half.  I made a couple of minor changes to the poem so my apologies in advance to the author. 
Now, go SELL, SELL, SELL!!

One of the great things about this gift certificate idea, is that the recipient will have a gift to OPEN (and is there a woman ANYWHERE who hasnt thought that she deserved to be wearing a crown but who would ever give her one????).  Then it makes it SIMPLE for you, because she chooses the products that she WANTS at the makeover and there is no returning or exchanging.  You dont have to wrap and package during the busiest time of your life.  So, its a WIN for EVERYBODY !!!  And wont it be one of those WOW gifts that gets everyones attention when she opens it ??????   YEAH !!! Take the Christmas line out of the gift certificate and use it ANYTIME of the year for gifts AND to book your friends that you have never booked a facial with !!!!  If shes a great friend, then she needs a crown, a gift certificate, AND a makeover from you or as a gift from another friend !!!
 
Subject: A WONDERFUL IDEA
I am so excited about this 
Now listen up....here is a great idea...it was so great that I got my car and drove to the nearest party store for "crowns"...I bought a few different sizes and prices...from 2.99 to 5.99
Then I stopped by a discount outlet and picked up hat boxes to put them in..
The idea is to put tissue , a crown and the poem with a gift amount on it with your name and phone number...a beautiful way to give a gift certificate.
The woman in Orlando sold 8,000 dollars worth of these in one week...good way to get your product on your shelf so you can go to work with all the faces you will be doing.  Last year she said they started to call on the 26th and then she offered them another 25 gift certificate if they would bring 2 friends with her.
Here's the poem that you put in with the crown...read it to everyone and they will buy one for employees, loved one, teacher, pastors wife...secretary...on and on.
A woman wears so many hats
One should be a crown.
So today I've come to celebrate you as the greatest __________ in town.
You work so hard all day long
and
often into the night.
This little token isn't much
but it will help me say...
"I  do love (or appreciate) you"
Merry Christmas too, as I crown you
Queen for the Day!
This entitles you to a mini-pampering session.
You'll get a great New Look for the New Year.
Paint your fingers and your toes
You'll leave feeling all aglow.
Plus $ ______ Gift Certificate
 
Contact: Name
     Phone number
 
Check Big Lots, Targets...discount places for boxes...party stores, toy stores, some beauty supply stores for crowns...Ive even seen some in kiosks in the malls
 
I will use the big crown (5.99) and the big box (2.99) for $100 gift certificates and above...the smaller (1.49) box and (2.99) silver crown for under 100.00.
 
I would go after this asap....

Here are the cards I made up:
LOVE YOU CARD
APPRECIATE YOU CARD

....One of the ideas shared ...was the Queen for the Day idea I got from Sherril Steinman.  This idea involves getting an inexpensive crown from the dollar store or a party store, selling a gift certificate of the givers choice amount which includes a pampering session for the Queen, and taking the poem declaring the receiver "Queen for the Day" and putting it all in a beautifully wrapped box. 
 
Who wouldn't want to be Queen for a Day?  Think how touched the receiver will be, and how proud the giver of the gift will feel! 
 
WELL!!!  Gail Hebert took that idea and ran with it!  She sent me this email yesterday
 
happy birthday to me! i just sold 20 $100.00, yes #20 $100.00 gift certificates to all the firefighters at the station around the corner from here using the new sherrill steinman "queen for a day" gift box idea!!  oh my ...!  holy moly!  i just made $1000.00 in 20 minutes!  i'm shaking i can hardly type!  and on the last day of the quarter!! YEEHAW!!  it just keeps getting better!!  this is better than winning the lottery because i'm going to do this again, and again, and again.  oh my gosh i absolutely cannot wait to meet sherrill in merson and thank her for sharing this awsome idea with everyone!!  Go Give!!!!  Thank you Jesus!
