Idea for customer appreciation events

Our friend Bruce Christensen, CEO of PartyWeDo, sent me this idea. It’s from a yarn store in Florida, but anyone could use it.

Basically, the store allows customers to bring in yarn, or any fiber related gift, all wrapped up like a present. Then at a designated time, they play white elephant exchange. Read the details at the AlbinoPhant blog.

And drop by the store’s site: Kint ‘n Knibble. 

Thanks, Bruce! If you have an idea that’s good for small town businesses, please pass it along.
