A "Soiree", simply described, is a hosted, OPEN HOUSE-style home party (similar in function to a Tupperware or PartyLite party). It is the BEST "small venue" to see and purchase Tallulah Twinkletoes merchandise in person, have questions answered and make custom orders.
Okay, so I WAS INVITED TO ONE OF THESE SOIREE THINGS... WHAT DO I DO?

HOW DO I HOST A SOIREE?
First, contact me and we will plan a date that works (I can schedule one per week). Compile a list of folks you'd like to invite. Then, I will provide you with personalized postcards to send out ten days before the event. On the day of the Soiree, I will arrive early to set up my displays, you provide the treats, and let the fun begin! I will provide a door prize and other fun incentives (coupons or promos) for shoppers. Guests can purchase and take ready-made items from the displays or prepay for custom orders that I will deliver to your home for redistribution within seven business days*.
When sales are totalled, you will earn a 20% merchandise credit (for free Tallulah Goodies!) for the total amount sold. (For instance, $400 in sales would earn an $80 credit! Woo-Hoo!!!)
Okay, So HOW DO I HOST A SUCCESSFUL SOIREE?
My best advice for hosting a successful soiree is all in the planning. Pick a date that doesn't conflict with holidays, popular date-nights, school functions, etc. Include everyone in your contact list that has a girl, a niece, a granddaughter, etc. Include moms from school, PTA, sports/dance programs, friends, family, lots of Grandmas! Send postcards ten days before the event. Send an email reminder, post on your Facebook wall, Twitter account, and/or make reminder phonecalls. Encourage guests who are unable to attend but want to shop to order by contacting me- the Soiree will officially "close" a few days afterward, so residual sales can be included in your sales/credit total.
Soirees are truly my favorite part of what I do- I love getting to know new people, sharing my vision with them and helping them to outfit the little girls they love in something girly and fun!
*this depends largely upon the time of year and what my other committments are. Sometimes custom orders can be completed sooner, sometimes later. Generally speaking, allow 5-7 working days for orders to be ready for delivery.
