Montreat store to carry Flat Creek Crossing prints and note cards under reduced-markup arrangement
Summary
Committee members described a near-term agreement with Montreat's store to sell note cards and James Williamson prints for Flat Creek Crossing at a reduced markup so the project nets the same proceeds as direct sales; steering committee notification and a write-up are pending.
The committee heard that Montreat’s store, under new management, is willing to carry note cards and prints produced to benefit Flat Creek Crossing and to apply a reduced markup so the Flat Creek Crossing project nets the same proceeds it would receive from direct sales. The treasurer (S6) reported the group met with store management and will write up the agreement for the Flat Creek Crossing steering committee.
S6 said the arrangement may limit wall space for project signage but will still provide a marketing opportunity; S6 expects the steering committee will accept the arrangement. S6 also mentioned James Williamson’s artwork specifically as part of the fundraising items to be sold. The treasurer asked to circulate a written summary to the steering committee and to work with the project’s officers to formalize the agreement.
Committee members expressed enthusiasm for the marketing potential and noted the need to document the arrangement and reconcile proceeds through the project’s steering committee and treasurer.
