HELP SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY EVENT!



All I can say is that a lot of our partners and we, @THSH, have put in much time, effort and our own money into this event, especially John, Dennis, Tommy and I. Realistically, we will have some costs at the end of the day, and we find it very difficult to find a company who will willingly give us some cash to offset our travelling costs up North, as we are too insignificant a project and there is no 'immediate visible monetary' gains to be made from our project. So much for a time and age where everything revolves around money. Neither do I want to put up a button asking for donations as I feel this is not very correct.

Anyhow, all is not lost. I called my buddies in the liquor business and asked if they would like to do something different. And guess what? They agreed! I don't even have liquor offered @THSH ... ha ha ha!

Ok, so here is my plan. I would love to offer you wines, hard liquor, sparkling wines and champagne at a very special price. The markup I am thinking of will be as follows;
  • RM2.00 for every bottle of wine
  • RM5.00 for every bottle of hard liquor
  • RM8.00 for every bottle of sparkling wines
  • RM12.00 for every bottle of champagne
They have also agreed to the following;
  • They will offer special discounts on certain items from time to time
  • They will offer trade discounts on quantity orders (minimum 1 carton & depends on the item). Example of trade discount; 1 Carton (12 btls of wine) + 1 F.O.C.
So what do you guys and gals think? Workable? As to payment, I think for now, we will only accept C.O.D. For cheque and credit card a bit troublesome cause you will have to go through @THSH and some more the bank charges. I will be the collection centre, meaning all your orders placed through me and you pick up from me also ... I become 1 STOP SHOP of sorts lar.

Also I was thinking if you guys and gals really interested and want to have a small tasting before buying, please find enough people, then I can organise a small workshop on wine knowledge and tips with tasting of wines lor ... I actually majored in Food & Beverage lor, so you give me opportunity to brush up my skills! Ha ha ha .... but seriously, I wouldn't mind doing this for F.O.C. @THSH. If you really want maybe a short course on Table Social Etiquette as well??? I dunno, you guys and gals tell me lar!

Ok, I just got their price list today, and I'm not sure if its cheaper then your supermarkets, but they are quality suppliers cause they supply to loads of hotels, clubs and pubs in Malaysia! I don't know what you guys think of this, so if you are interested and willing to help out, please send your 'show of support' to sodapop@prewedding.info! I won't mind making space for a list of the names of people who buy from us on this blog too!

Please give me a few days or so to sort out their list and prepare it for you, but let me know if you guys are interested as it really depends on all your support! Please help support our community projects!
