Low-cost graduation and teacher-appreciation sets add to value niche

altMore than ever, consumers are looking for ways to convey a warm thought or lift someone’s spirits, without spending much money.

Stores with Universal Designs’ “Pass It On” Message Card displays or “VerseMarks” spinners have found that thoughtful products at a low cost keep customers coming back. This spring, we are introducing two seasonal products to fill a similar gift-giving need, for celebrating graduation and back-to-school teacher appreciation.

The lines include car magnets, boxed gift sets and a greeting magnet, with each offered in assortments of $5 products.

The 2009 graduation car magnet design features vibrant colors with a traditional graduation cap design, and a statement of God’s promises from Jeremiah 29:11.

The back-to-school car magnet features a traditional black board image, with the reminder from Matthew 25:21 that God appreciates his faithful servants.

Car magnets are $4.98 each and are screen-printed on the magnetic material. The magnets are available in a compact easel display with a peg for counter merchandising. Each magnet is individually bagged.

For graduation and teacher appreciation, boxed gift sets include a matching magnet and key ring. Each set retails for $4.98.

Four designs are available for graduation, including one that matches the car magnet. Other designs feature surfer-style artwork, or more traditional Scripture-based images. Three gift set designs are available for back-to-school.

For teacher appreciation, a greeting magnet combines a greeting card with a magnet, and retails for $4.69. Each greeting magnet is individually bagged, includes a matching envelope and has an easel display.
