advertising – Nancy Tart: Writing for Life

Support Me!

Hello, I’m Kimberly Tart. My mom runs this blog site but I get to write about this (with a little, okay, maybe a lot of grammar and editing help). I’ve never done a fund-raising thing – volunteered at a lot of stuff, but not tried to fund raise myself.

Here goes…

I have been learning the sport of gymnastics at WGV Gymnastics and recently made the Xcel team! (My name is on the official roster here!) My goal is to go all out – I love gymnastics! I plan on competing as high as I can possibly go and when I get to college to study veterinary medicine, I hope to be on a college gymnastics team!

Right now I’m doing some fundraising to help offset my costs and provide businesses with an outstanding advertising and charitable donation opportunity! (Regular people still get the donation benefits!)

Our gym has a 501c3 Booster Club for our athletes to raise funds to help offset our competition costs. This is WGVABC (WGV Athletic Booster Club). Information on their sponsorship packages can be found at https://www.wgvabc.com/become-team-sponsor. A portion of your sponsorship funds go directly into my booster club account (if there is no name attached, it goes to the general team fund). Plus your business receives a powerful advertisement package that begins the day your banner is hung (click <- link to see an example of displayed banners) – so you get 365 full days of advertisement! We have thousands of athletes and family members coming through our gym weekly and all see our sponsors’ bright banners.

I totally appreciate your time reading this and any sponsorship level you choose!

Please choose a sponsorship level or donate and mention my name, Kimberly Tart, when you do!

Thank you!!

🙂 Kimmy Tart

The Off-Brands

What is in a brand?

Kimberly and Jaquline were discussing how they liked a certain Aldi off-brand snack better than the name brand one. Christina commented that she didn’t remember how much better she liked said off-brand snack over the original until she’d tasted the original again that day.

Honestly, I love the new Aldi store because most of their off-brand stuff is healthier than the name brand it is replacing; one of their colored cereals actually is colored with natural pigments, has less sugar, and contains more vitamins and minerals per ounce than the name brand we could buy elsewhere.

Because of the arrival of this Aldi store, our healthy options seriously improved without demanding more on our budget. In most cases, we were leaving with more groceries, healthier choices, and a smaller food bill. A full cart with more than half of it filled with bargain fruits and vegetables? Oh yes.

We studied some about brands. In some cases, the girls discovered that only the outside label is changed! This was surprising. For several items they researched, the only change between certain off-brands and their competitive name-brand item was seriously a label.

Jaquline heard an ad on the radio station and said, “there’s another name-brand making us think they are better than the store kind because they pay for advertising.”

She’s nine.

They are convinced there is nothing as good as Oreos brand cookies, but then I think there is nothing as good as Christina’s chocolate chip cookies and Louis’ oatmeal cake cookies.

Thanks for reading!

Type at you later…
