The Girlfriends Guide to Hosting
Everything you need for a FABULOUS Stella & Dot Trunk Show!
Thank you for hosting a Stella & Dot Trunk Show!
You are going to love how simple & fabulous it is! In order to maximize the success of your Trunk Show, here are some tips that I have found to be useful for my hostesses!
But first, my business would not exist without you, so I thank you so very much!
My goal is to help you earn as much FREE jewlery as possible!
Typically my shows are $1,000+ in sales with a least 10-15 purchasing guests. That means at least $250 in free jewelry for you, plus four half-price items!! My job is to help you maximize your trunk show and get you as much free jewelry as possible, so let’s brainstorm a great guest list! Outside orders really help boost your free jewelry rewards as well!!
How do I earn the most FREE jewelry?!
Be my "business partner" at the Trunk Show!
The more your friends see YOU playing with the jewels & trying everything on - the more inclined they are to follow suit!
Bling it on!
Wear an outfit (top) that is plain enough with a simple neckline/color so you can model all of the fabulous jewelry with your guests!
Layer on the Stella & Dot & change up it during the night! You might dress up your outfit with the jewelry you hope to take home with your Hostess Rewards!
Be a guest at your own Trunk show! Get out of the kitchen (let a friend pass out the wine so you can focus on the jewelry with the guests!), relax, socialize and have fun!
A trunk show is as simple as a table & a bottle of wine!
Plan to display the jewelry in the same room as the food & drinks! The kitchen is often the best place, if space allows (better lighting, and people always end up in the kitchen to socialize). Wherever the wine is, the jewelry should be too!
The day of the Trunk show, I’ll arrive 30-40 minutes beforehand to set up. Simple snacks are all that’s needed - a couple bottles of wine, cheese & crackers are all we’d need. The guests are so drawn into the jewelry, they barely take time to eat anything.
It’s super laid back - more like a “boutique jewelry store is opening in your home for a couple hours” than a “party,” so you can do whatever you’d like - but no chocolate fountains required! :) Honestly the simpler the better! I prefer the guests to think of it as a style event more than a ‘party’, so Keep it Simple & Stylish!

How many of these are on YOUR wish list?!
It's "Galentine's Month" around here!
The More the Merrier! Tips for encouraging Trunk Show attendance:
We encourage attendance of 15+ purchasing guests (though of course I am happy to do smaller trunk shows). In order to ensure greater success (free jewelry!) for your time & effort as a hostess, OVER Invite! Invite 3-4 times as many guests as you would like to have because you will always have last minute cancellations and/or forgetful friends :)
