One more thing to consider...
A note from Joy Fetting, owner of Red Pine Quilt Shop in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota:
"Thinking about the Pantie Raid... we have to look on this as a service event not a sales event. The more involvement we have from businesses collecting, the more donations we'll have for the shelters. I participated in a retail training class this summer and they talked about service events and the huge impact they can have on your business. It might not always be on the day of the event, but customers remember what you did and it should be a critical part of your overall marketing strategy. I'm looking at this as an opportunity to give back to the community that I do business in. I want my shop to be remembered as a business that made a positive impact in the lives of women and children in need."
