    why are you only doing parties to appeal to girls?

    take this which ever way you want, but if i had a young child i would be very suspicious of a company that is doing parties only for young girls


    I would assume parties such as nail painting and hair braiding etc would only appeal to girls!

    I am only just starting my business myself, but parent websites are where I would look for ideas myself!

    We're not specifically marketing it as just for girls but it's something which is far more likely to appeal to girls (and hen parties) than boys!

    Ok ...I would personally direct your leaflets then to student areas, factories and offices with prodominatly female workers...pubs, as they might have female darts teams... hairdressers ( unless the type of party your are offering would be competition) ladies fashion shops ( give to staff)... dance/keep fit classes

    I am trying to think of places where you might find the age bracket of women your parties would appeal too....

    You might assume so, but you would be wrong to attempt to exclude boys in your marketing, IMO. Says the woman who had to tell staff at an afterschool club that it was fine to let boys to wear pink aprons if they wanted to ...
