Last Minute Gifts for the Holidays



O' Marabu! O' Marabu! Your colors are so shiny! (Yes, we are already listening to holiday music here at Bisque Imports and you can't help but get it stuck in your head!)

With just a few weeks left before the holidays, encourage your last minute customers to create personalized pottery projects with Marabu Pens.  Marabu Ceramic Painter Pens are an ideal "make-it-take-it" project! 



By providing pre-glazed and fired pottery shapes to your customer and a selection of Marabu pens in regular and metallic colors, your customers will be able to create a masterpiece they can take home with them that day. At home, the customer will bake the plate in the oven at 340 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.

Be sure to give your customer baking instructions to make their artwork permanent and include helpful tips such as being sure to put your artwork in a cold oven to bake it and removing it only once the oven has cooled to avoid thermal shock.



Get the word out!  One of the best ways to get the word out about last minute gift options for your customers is to create exciting samples that are easy to recreate.  In the Hanukkah display we used a coordinating Martini Glass to hold the Marabu Pens.

You can even sell the Marabu Ceramic Painter Pens to your customers so they can take their projects home to work on.  Keep a stash of all the most popular colors for customers to select from!

Merry Marabu-ing!
