The M & M Ministry
As our regular customers already know, we send a little bag of M & M’s with every order. We have been doing this for years and have a lot of fun with it mainly because our clients love it. When we go to conventions customers pass our booth and say “Look, there’s the Chocolate Company†and then share their love of M & M’s and their thanks. Except for Don in North Carolina…
He called to thank us for the candy but admitted he did *not* like chocolate. Since we had served his store since 1997 and was more like a friend, we started sending his very favorite – Skittles.
One Friday an employee from a Lifeway Christian Store left a message on our recorder. In a very monotone voice he said he had had an awful week but when he opened our shipment it changed everything and cheered him up!
A “complaint†came from a store manager in the Midwest who said he was upset we “no longer sent M & M’s†while we knew we always did. We asked him to check with the person in charge of receiving shipments. He came back on the line very sheepishly to report the mystery solved. Needless to say he watched carefully for our products to arrive so he could open the box himself. Good move!
And one of our sales reps thought it was part of our business strategy to encourage the receiving department to open our shipments first. He thought we were so smart, but alas, that had never crossed our minds!
After all the comments and calls about our M & M Ministry, we realize it’s all about making you, our clients, know you are important to us. Without you out there praying we would have no reason to blend our Anointing Oils. We truly value what you do so we will continue to support you with Biblically based Anointing Oil for prayer and M & M’s!
