[Moderator's note: This was forwarded to me quite a while ago -- I've been holding it until I had a chance to insert it and until a relatively light day. Please see the end of the post for contact information. BIG] Mazuri Ferret Rescue/Shelter Program Purina Mills, LLC St. Louis, MO THREE WAYS TO "FERRET OUT" THE SAVINGS and make income for your shelter!! Choose one or choose all. 1. Do you use our 5M08 Mazuri Ferret Diet??? SAVE 20% on 5M08 Mazuri Ferret Diet in 25 lb. bags With the use of a special purchasing number (PE), you will receive 20% off the cost of each bag with a minimum purchase of 5 bags. Each bag of Mazuri Ferret Diet currently retails for approximately $23.00 per bag. A discount of 20% will save you around $4.00 per bag. 2. SAVE WHEN YOU ADOPT....and help the adopter save.... When you adopt a ferret, if you will supply us with the name of the adopter and the address, we will do two things; Send the adopter a packet of information on Mazuri Ferret diet as well as a coupon for purchasing the product. This will help keep the ferrets you adopt on an approved ferret diet. For every 10 names you send to us, we will send YOU a coupon for $3.00 off a bag of Mazuri Ferret Diet. 3. RETAIL the product. One of the ways that you can help your rescue/shelter is to sell Mazuri Ferret diets. We will give you a special price on the cost of the Mazuri Ferret Diet in 6 lb. jugs. Sell these to adopters when they adopt and make a few bucks for the cause. Here is what the income picture might look like; Buy the jugs @ $9.50 each and sell for $13.89 (this is current suggested retail) You will make $4.39 on each jug. Even if you wanted to discount the jugs, you can still do so and make a profit. (Sell at $12.50, make $3.00, it is up to you) This is also a good way for you to keep in contact with those that adopt and you will know the ferrets stay on a good diet. USE THE INCOME FROM THE PROGRAM ANY WAY YOU LIKE; to treat sick ferrets, provide for routine veterinary care, develop educational programs and literature, etc. [Application form follows] Mazuri Ferret Shelter/Rescue Program Sign-In Sheet (note: must be a 501(c)3 non-profit, or State non-profit) Please be prepared to fax corporate papers to confirm status Name of Shelter: ____________________________________ Date: _________ Address: ____________________________________________________________ Phone Number:__________________________________________ Director's Name: ____________________________________________________ Person responsible for ordering food:________________________________ E-mail: ____________________________________________________ Website: ___________________________________________________ Would you be willing to link to our website?
