All the Information You Need to Have a Fabulous Trunk Show!
My Show is Booked, Now What?
Thank you so much for choosing me to be your stylist for your Stella & Dot Trunk Show! What's more fun than getting your girlfriends and family together for a fun, fashionable shopping event followed by a guilt-free shopping spree when it's over?? My job is to make this a fun and easy experience for you, AND to get you everything on your wishlist!! So here is a quick run down of how our trunk shows work.
- Build your wishlist!! Log into your Stella & Dot account (stelladot.com/katybarnes) and heart your favorite items. Then I'll know what we need to do to get them all for you!
- Build your guest list! The more the merrier. When making your guest list, make sure you invite your friends from all your different social circles (think neighborhood friends, church social circle, family, moms group, work friends, book club)...typically 1/3 to 1/4 of your guest list will be able to attend. You don't have to stick to just close friends- if they are female and the like to shop, add them to the list!! Don't forget your out-of-town contacts! Those friends can order online towards your show. Your guest list can be all e-mail addresses, mailing addresses or a combination of both.
- Once, you have your guest list ready (either emails and/or physical addresses)...forward it to me and I will create a stylish invite to send to your contacts and also keep track of responses and reminders. If you would like a paper invitation to be sent out, I am happy to print and mail those for you! Expect a proof of your invites within 48 hours of booking your trunk show. Not sure about the best way to invite your contacts? Let's discuss!
Clear a Table, Put Out Some Light Bites
To add to the fun, feel free to pull out a couple of tops or dresses that you need help accessorizing. Guests love to see a mini fashion show!
Finally, relax and have fun :)
