I think it went ok, I don't think I prepared very well but next time I will do better. I don't think I got the word of mouth out there very well. I had a stressful week though prior to the party so it was hard to get it out plus my work is very strict about that anyway.

But my daughter helped me and she was the "Jewelry Princess" and I was the "Jewelry Lady" smileys/smiley1.gif

I had it at this meeting place for different businesses, wedding receptions, etc...can meet...The meeting room was beautiful and perfect though! It was a boardroom type room, but I just moved all the chairs and put up my Jewelry and Appetizers for the Kickoff.

I sold $200 in Jewelry and Booked a Show. I also got some leads for the future (maybe 4 or 5) from my drawing.

My Sponsor said there is always a lesson learned from doing a show if it doesn't go right - I agree with her. My Lesson from this was to have a better word of mouth. My next Kick Off type show, I am going to make sure at least 50 people know.

Here are some pictures

Jewelry Lady and Princess

Congratulations! :) Both your jewelry and food spread looks great! And your daughter is adorable :)

Congrats on the Kick Off Show!

I think you did good with it! We all have to start some where and its a pretty good start! Be proud of yourself and your little jewelry princess!

Wooohoo great job! Go Jackie!

congrats :) Looks like you had lots of fun - what a cute lil' helper!

You did great! Just because it's not a $1000 party, doesn't mean it didn't go well. You got another party booked (good!), you got some leads for the future (good!) and you had a great time with some great ladies and your sweet 'lil helper! You dida great job and it's only going to get better!

Congratulations!

How fun to see pictures and I have to agree, having your little "princess" with you makes everything a little sweeter!

You'll have to partner up with a Tastefully Simple gal and maybe she can provide some food samples for your guests and you guys could do a "duel show" of sorts, Jacquelyn. Great way for both of you to get business and you to save on the cost of the food.

Happy second show!!

Ooh, well done - I bet the Princess will be a great asset to the business!smileys/smiley36.gif

Congrats! a booking is the best thing you could have gotten out of the kickoff! This is a great start for you!

Congratulations Jackie, that is a great start!

Well done!!!
That looked great! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley20.gif

Does CL still have those tiaras? If so you should get one for the Jewelry Princess to wear when she goes to your shows. Its so cute, and then you can tell your guests they can become a jewelry queen and earn their own tiara - not sure what the price was I think it was $20 or else I wouldn't have bought them, but maybe its more and that means they cost you $10, but you could offer incentives, such as you will crown them queen with their own tiara to keep when the book on one of your preferred dates, have 5 orders and 1 booking before the show or when their show reaches x$ in sales - and make a big production of crowning them either at the begining or when they reach the goal.

Congratulations! You did a great job and the room looked great. Your daughter is beautiful.

Congrats! And I agree with your sponsor. Everything is a learning opportunity.

I was just curious how many people showed up and your sales based on how many people? When did your latest Cookie Lee catalog came out?
