Hello ladies,<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><O:P></O:P>
<O:P></O:P>

I switched my romance party plan company to Giggle Parties. I’m very excited about it. I think the company is cute and classy!! <O:P></O:P>
<O:P></O:P>

I want to make my fast start. I need to submit $1000 in retail sales by the end of this month! I know I can do it, I just have to get the word out! I do have a list of old customers and hostesses. I want to let them know about my new company but I don’t want to just call them out of the blue. <O:P></O:P>
<O:P></O:P>
<O:P>
I do have 2 home parties booked this month and a bar party, but I think I need at leat 2 more parties just to be sure I hit my goal.</O:P>
<O:P></O:P>

Any ideas, on getting the word out quick? <O:P></O:P>
<O:P></O:P>
<O:P></O:P>

Thanks!<O:P></O:P>

You could do a new business launch party. Invite all past customers and hostesses, and depending on your customer base you may need to rent a space. Congrats on your new business!!

If you have an list of your past hostesses and customers, there's no harm in letting them know. Don't prejudge them. You don't know for sure if they're interested or not.

Contact them and tell them how excited you are about the new company. You don't have to mention your own personal goal, just let them know how fired up you are and let them know that this months calendar is open.

Hi Cinn~


I would have to agree with the other ladies here! Contact them via phone or even with the cards and let them know that you have switched vendors. It never hurts! And like Brenda said, you never know if they are interested or not unless you ask!smileys/smiley2.gif


Many Blessings,


Natalie
