joesmarbles Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hi all, the company I work for, 200 strong supermarkets in seven states, has accepted my proposal for a promotional give-away of bags of 20 marbles with the company header. I had two prototype bags made up to show the BigWigs and they loved them.We will start the promotion at the busiest store in the chain, hopefully by Christmas. This will be an official issue by the company. More info as it becomes available.....Joe McDonough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joesmarbles Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Thanks guys, I have sent the cost to the big boys and proposed a small 500 bag issue to start, Al if I did that I would be fired for stealing company property, sorry. I will keep you posted.....Joe McDonough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 OK, makes sense. Since it is to be a promotional giveaway, please let us know how that will happen. Maybe I, or a friend, can go to the store to be involved in the giveaway. Not trying to create problems for you, just would like to have a piece of modern marble packaging history.

joesmarbles Posted November 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hi Everybody, I received a e-mail from my District manager this morning, they are going very small on this because no money was budgeted for it. I will be handing out the marble bags to children with their parents permission about 12/23-12/24. The count will be 100 bags, 50 with a red label white lettering/ 50 with white label with red lettering. I ordered them at 3pm today. Perhaps if this goes over big they will budget money for more next year.....Joe McDonough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesmarbles Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hi all, the marbles bags are being assembled and I expect them to be in hand next week.
