Soles4Souls Canada - 25,000 Shoes 25 Days

I’m proud to announce that Falkins Advertising Specialties will be supporting Roy’s Shoes as they raise 25,000 shoes in 25 days. This is a worthy cause and I recommend all clients and friends to clean out your closets and help Roy’s, changing the world, on pair at a time.

February 24th to Saturday March 20th

Our goal is to collect 25,000 pairs of shoes in 25 days.

Local Okanagan social agencies as example; The Food Bank Store, Kelowna Gospel Mission, Now Canada, Kelowna’s Women’s Shelter etc. will all be offered footwear for their clients.

The remaining shoes will be shipped to the Soles4Souls distribution Center in Nevada where they will be sorted and shipped to where needed. Presently they have committed over 1 million pairs to Haiti.

WE NEED YOU TO CLEAN OUT YOUR CLOSETS
Estimates are that every person has 3 or 4 pairs at least in their closet that are not worn any more but still in good shape. We ask that you clean out your closets but convince your friends, neighbors and relatives to do the same. We ask that the shoes have no holes in the soles and in decent shape. All footwear including sandals and boots are accepted and needed.

It is also the GREEN thing to do. There are tons of discarded footwear in the landfills that when break down the toxic glue that holds our shoes together can leak into our water supply and atmosphere.

Testimonials

Several years ago, I was approached by Bruce Falkins of Falkins Advertising Specialties supplier of Kelowna promotional products. Although not convinced of the value of “giveaway” products, I agreed to purchase some magnets and key chains, as well as a seemingly endless array of pens. I was pleasantly surprised from the reaction and gratitude that, my customers expressed.

After a couple of years, I decided to try, on my Bruce Falkins suggestion, a lanyard style keychain, with my company name and phone number. My phone number was to be prominent, in that it was easy to remember number. (707-0700)

It was suggested, that I put every customers keys on one of these lanyards. The results were amazing. The bright red lanyard, prominently displaying my phone number, was on every one of my customer’s key sets. Customers asked for a spare, for their kids keys, or the cabin keys, etc. etc.. I was so pleased we ordered a second colour of lanyard. The cost to have my company phone number, in every customer’s car was insignificant.

This program is far cheaper than newspaper advertising, and keeps my phone number , literally on hand, on a permanent basis. It is amazingly cost effective, and has actually reduced my monthly advertising budget.

We have since progressed to a greater variety of items, all prominently displaying 707-0700, included coffee mugs, golf tees and shoe bags, wall clocks, premium quality pens and knives plus many others.

I believe in using promotional products and have found Falkins Advertising to be the “Best of the Okanagan”. I have known and used Bruce Falkins’ services for many years and have ordered pens, shirts, vests, travel mugs and he has even custom stitched my logo onto some of my own products.

Bruce has always been prompt for appointments, fair with his pricing and reliable, always delivering what was promised and ordered. I appreciate and look forward to his new product emails and newsletter that he sends out monthly.
