Stuffed Animals Wanted (7)

Original Internet Ad:
Donate Xmas gifts!

Christmas presents wanted for gift-drive at ******** Elementary School in light of the tough economic times. We’re asking the community to start early this year and come together this season, open your heart and make a difference!

Bring them by the dropbox at the front entrance.

Thank you for your kindness!

Negotiation Strategy:
I have something they want. For all you negotiation buffs out there, that means I have ‘leverage.’ I will exploit the poor kids whining about not having presents to promote my business ventures. That way everyone wins…but especially me :)

Hi,

I’m willing to donate a few stuffed animals if you let me advertise at the school. My heart is open and I’d really like to make a difference :)

Ellen,

I offer a variety of services. I think most likely my DJ service and also my teddy bear business. I think the school would be a good target audience for my ventures.

I see you’re in the acting business. How is that treating you?

Ned:

I’m a bit confused. It’s Eileen by the way, and no I’m the acting principal for the school. Send me a flyer and if it’s ok we can move forward.

Hi Eleen,

Here’s the flyer! Let me know if it’s ok and I can bring the animals over. I was thinking a few cats and maybe some foxes. There is a pretty good supply of these around the neighborhood (pets and in the wild respectively).

Don’t worry, I won’t rat you out about the acting. I’ve definitely had to fake it that I could do a lot of jobs even though I’m a male. So you keep scratching me and I’ll keep scratching you ;)

Wow Ned. This is definitely not going to be ok. On second thought you can keep those animals at home.

You might want to reconsider. I’m not ‘acting’ if you catch my drift ;)
