[Tabitha]

Put a ton of balloons outside. Wow, this sounds like a really big deal dragon! How will you get the word out?

 

[dragonfly princess]

I have a couple friends who are managers of local natural food stores they told me to put together a flyer and they would get them out for me, and this storefront is on the main road that goes thru Oxford, so you really won't be able to miss it.

I am pretty excited now!!!!

 

[gallerygirl]

No kidding!!! That is very exciting! You should be very proud of yourself, this is going to be big! k

 

[dragonfly princess]

I will be proud if I do well! I am bustin my butt to figure out how much of everything I should take, if I don't take enuff, I only live like 5 mins away.

 

[NEASoapWorks]

Yeah!

Did I miss the date of this shindig? It sounds VERY exciting!

 

[dragonfly princess]

No maam, it is Feb 9th. I am gonna put a flyer together. I will get one out to you sweety

Nope not gonna teach how to make soap, I think it will go something like this:

I know someone that might let me use their storefront for one night, this is where I would love to be able open my store in the future. I want to set it up with plastic bubbles on the walls and some shimmery cloth hanging on the walls. set up a table with everything that I make to buy. have a circle of chairs with warm water in plastic tubs in front of them, we are going to do a mud masque on the feet and then a balm to finish it off. That will be the only demonstration. I will have all my different soaps, scents and B&B stuff out so they can sniff and shop. I will make finger sammiches and have some wine and soft drinks. I might play a couple games but that is it.

How does that sound?

That sounds more like a spa party to me. I think it's a great idea and would be a good selling feature. I wanted to do something like that for my birthday. It would be good for bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, or any other really fun occaision.

 

[Stella Marie]

This sounds like so much fun!

One quick idea for a fun raffle - have everyone put a dollar or two in a bucket and leave their name on a piece of paper. Put the names in a basket and at some point during the evening, draw the winning name. The lucky person gets to use all the money on your bath products!

Good luck!

 

[pink-north]

Hey Stella, I like that idea. Mind if I borrow it?

 

[sarahjane]

Yes Yes Yes!! I want to come!! Sorry I flaked out again But I DO really really want to go! Can I bring my Gracie?

 

[dragonfly princess]

EVERYONE IS INVITED!!

 

[sarahjane]

Yeah! She'll love it! It's on Main Street in Oxford right?

 

[dragonfly princess]

Yes it is!

You can do parties for teens & tweens to & let them make lip balm &/or glycerin soap.

 

[Buttercupsoaps]

We usually give a hostess gift at our soap party & if there is enough folks showing up we do a drawing for a gift basket. We set the chairs round & do a bit "About us and our products" kinda let folks know how good handmade soap is compared to store bought........ :wink: that kind a thing. We ask them to please ask questions during any point. Its more like your letting them know why homemade verses store bought. We've found that most people don't have a clue on the differance.
It helps if you have someone to assist you. Makes it easier. We do ours at homes of clients/costomers.
Sounds like you got it planned pretty good. Just keep an open mind & go with the flow/feel of the day. 8)
