Promotional Opportunities
Brochure Table
We invite organizations, businesses, and event organizers send us promotional materials to distribute to our Scottish curious or better guests on our Brochure Table. Please send a maximum of 200 copies to Tom Good, 201 Red Bird Lane, Hendersonville NC 28791. This may be a little early for some 2024 events to have printed flyers, so as a courtesy, we can make up to 10 full color prints if you email a letter size PDF.
Door Prizes
For events or businesses which would like to further peak our guests interest, please consider including a coupon or other door prize with your promotional materials. We leave it completely up to you to decide the level of discount to attract potential customers. An example door prize coupon might be a 10% discount coupon on event VIP tickets, or a 5% discount on new customer purchases over $100. Door prizes will increase your exposure to our guests while also making our event more appealing to potential attendees. We don’t need the coupons or other prizes until January, but if you let us know of your intent, we can include you in our ongoing marketing earlier. Consider contributing 50 to 200 coupons and mail them with your promotional material above.
