PLEASE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS:

We need your responses! Please email hollie@residium.co.nz with your answers to the following:

• Showroom Staffing: Can you staff your Residium showroom on March 22 from 9am – 2pm? Even partial coverage is welcome.

• Donate a prize – let us know!: Can your business donate a prize? Previous years’ contributions are always amazing, and we’re aiming to top them this year. It doesn’t have to be extravagant!

• Do you have any new products to feature? Send details (including imagery) to Hollie for inclusion in marketing. 

• Exclusive Promotions: Can you offer an exclusive discount code or promotion on your products or services? If so, please let us know so we can design handouts and flyers to market this offer. If we have enough of these we’ll make up some Build + Design Day Deals hand outs!

• Spin-the-Wheel Contributions: Do you have fun branded items (e.g., hats, drink bottles, tote bags, notebooks) to contribute for a “spin-the-wheel” giveaway? (Please note: We are not seeking brochures or pens at this time.)
