Breast Cancer Awareness Recipes for Your Event!

When the more-than-75-year-old cooking bible, Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, pays homage to breast cancer research, it's definitely become a mainstream cause. In addition to the 1,200 recipes and 700 color photographs, on top of the detailed information and illustrated charts that the publication's editors are known for, the newest feature of this limited-edition guide is its "pink plaid" section devoted to directions on how to eat for life--that is, instructions on miracle foods, like antioxidants, and the best low-fat, health-filled recipes to tempt anyone's taste buds, from a southwestern spinach omelet to reduced-calorie creamy mocha custards. Arrayed in a ready-to-use ringed binder, this thirteenth edition stands rightfully as a cooking reference book, to have and to hold.

    This lens was certainly eye opening for me. I've been involved with some fundraisers in the past so knowing I could have gone to Zazzle is certainly helpful.

    I know you're looking for helpful comments, so I'll do my best...

    My thoughts are that you'd want to presell on Zazzle a bit more at the beginning. Rather than "selling the sizzle" you're addressing possible objections (Why you can trust your order to Zazzle).

    What you really want is to get people to click through to Zazzle. So I might lead off with something like "Planning a fundraising event can be such a challenge--a finding just the right invitation for your event even more so. Well, if you've never been to Zazzle you are in for a real treat! Chances are they have just the invitation you're looking for!..."

    You get the idea. Let Zazzle address the objections. Your objective is to get people there so they can find what they are looking for.

    Hope that helps! :p
