    Deb,
    Opportunity bags really work! We’ve been using them for some time. Even though we are not a party plan company we use the bags at Grand Openings (which is essentially a party!) They do work to create interest and “follow-up” is key!

    Hi Deb, I LOVE this idea! I always am throwing things together at the last minute to hand out. Making some of these ahead of time and having all ready will really make a difference.

    I learned to wrap pretty presents from my grandma. I never thought to wrap up the Thirty-One opportunity with a pretty bow and tinsel. Thank you for this great idea!

    We are planning ahead for our national catalog launch in 3 weeks featuring our Halloween products.
    It is similar to the gift bags above with a Halloween theme.
