Sending Out the Farrs

"Help a family in need beat the heat" was the motto of a recent fan pro- motion at Westlake Hardware's two stores in Hutchison, Ks.

To get things going, Westlake offered a l5%o discount on all fans and encouraged customers to buy one or more for the local Salvation Army chapter. The charity usually buys 40 to 50 box fans at Westlake Hardware, but needed more this year because of the poor economy.

"We're all guilty of saying, 'I'll help' and then sitting at home," says assistant store manager Steve Barnum, who thought that community members would like to help.

To get the word out, Barnum used radio ads, instore flyers, word of mouth, and his wife's Facebook page. An article about the sale, published in the local newspaper, brought quite a few customers-some new-into the store.

Although customers could also buy discounted fans for their own use, most purchased fans for the Salvation Army. "The heat hit us early this year, so most people already had their own fans," says Barnum. "I was pleased with the response: about 140 fans were purchased for donation, including 60 that were paid for by a local company."

At the end of the one-week sale, Barnum delivered the donated fans to delighted officials at Salvation Army-which has suffered a serious decline in donations, but a big increase in need.

And what about next year? "We'll definitely run the promotion again," he says. "It may go companywide, too-Westlake has 89 stores-because our corporate headquarters is now interested."
