Holiday Gift Baskets
Donate a gift basket from your company!
We are looking for gift baskets for our Annual Holiday Party and Foundation Fundraiser. The baskets will be raffled/auctioned off at the December 6th Holiday Party. As a group, the Sales and Marketing Council is putting together a "Family Movie Night" basket. SMC members are encouraged to bring in a related item valued at $5+. As a company, we encourage you to rally your co-workers and put together your own basket. It's easy and inexpensive if everyone contributes an item valued at around $5 (depending on the basket theme you choose). Here are some basket ideas: - Outdoor Play for Kids: this could be back yard games or ball and bat, soccer ball and net, etc.
- A day at the Beach
- A day at the Pool
- Disney Dream Basket
- Kids Books and Games: Suggest they pick an age range. Baby to Pre School OR Elementary School
- Doll House
- Big Kid Sized Tools
- Big Kid Craft items: jewelry making, model making, etc.
Other grown up ideas:- Golf accessories
- Chocolate Lovers
- Coffee Lovers
- Martini Lovers
- Gourmet cooking lovers
- Saturday night Poker game
Once you choose your basket, let me know so I can advertise it along with the others. Bring your basket to the HBA by December 5th. Stacie@HBAofMetroOrlando.com |

Savvy home builders KNOW that an overwhelming majority of ALL people will look at a website before actually every stepping foot into a sales office and purchasing a new home. They also KNOW that when a person enters the sales office and HAS looked at the company website, it is likely they have seen something that enticed them to make a physical trip to the community. You see, people use website to 'eliminate' their choices. So, if someone steps into your sales office that has been to your website.....chances are they are more than just 'tire-kickers'.READ MORE
