    Hi

    Just thought I'd pop in and tell you about my fab weekend.:j

    I did a fair on Saturday and got a few easter eggs and wrapped in the florist wrap with a note - Book a party today, and take me Home! Everyone who came to my table, I got to do a candle survey and told them of my offer and I got 2 bookings directly into March and few for other months.:D

    On Sunday myself and one of my girls did our first proper wedding fair at a local hotel, and this was fantastic! We took along items for top table centrepeice, spa products and tealights in little voile bags (for favours). We used the candle survey in a different way, promoting the idea of saving money and getting wedding items FREE, this went down really well, We have lots of bookings each for different reasons by promoting this and was a very productive weekend!!!!:beer:
    I get paid to party!:rotfl:

    Thats fantastic Candlegirl :beer:. I like the idea about saving money, by getting wedding items free , also the easter egg I dea . It's ideas like this that really help with bookings and make a site like this all the more valuable . We did a similar thing with boost bars , take a wiffm and come to an information evening and get a boost bar , i.e boost your income .

    Thats fantastic Donna , go for the treatments , your right , you do deserve it . I had a look at the price of treatments in the hotel in Hong Kong , as while we are over there , thought we would do the same and treat ourselves , but got a shock at the prices £120 for an hours massage , £275 for a day package ( does include a lunch though) . So I think we might be waiting till we get back to have a treatment unfortunately.

    Hope you have a fabulous time , and well done for premoting out . Hope this is the start of somthing big for you.

    OMG - £120 for a massage is so expensive!!!

    I hope it's the start but am not feeling too positive as not all my girls have great sales...but I'll keep plodding away!!
