Hair Bow Parties

Hair Bow parties can be another outlet for your business of selling hair bows, or
they can just be for fun.

Steps for Having a Hair Bow Party

Decide on a guest-list:

Guests should include people who will have some type of interest in hair
bows (mothers, grandmothers, aunts, or even cheer-leading sponsors)

Decide on a party theme
- MAKE IT ADULT FRIENDLY. Remember, even though your selling hair bows that
will be for little girls, the party is for the adults who will buy them -- save the Hello
Kitty party for your little ones birthday. :)

Good party themes for the summer are Hawaii or Beach themes:
Winter themes could include anything with snow
Be CREATIVE!!

Create your Hair Bow Display

Keep your guests in mind as you decide on what types of bows you plan to present. If they all have
daughters of ages 3 or 4, you know Dora, and other popular preschool character bows will be
popular. However, if you're entertaining mom's of junior-high girls, the Dora bows will probably not
do well. You get the idea. :)

Design one of each bow you plan to present to your guests at the party. You will only need one b/c
you will take orders at the party and fill the orders later. This will ensure that you aren't making
more bows than you need.

Using your imagination, arrange your bows in a display that is appropriate to your party theme. Be
CREATIVE and HAVE FUN!

This display will sit out in a visible area where the party is taking place for all guests to view.

Create a brochure/order form
using pictures of each bow you present and maybe even extras that you didn't
bring, and a computer. Again, use stationary appropriate to your parties theme,
and maybe even a fun slogan that goes along with your theme.

Plan an Itinerary
Consider the following when you plan:
Four ingredients to a successful, fun party:
FOOD
GAMES
SELLS
&
FUTURE PARTY HOSTESSES

Plan snacks that will be fit for the theme and keep your guests happy

Decide on how you want to showcase your bows at the party. This is where
you will use your selling techniques and promote the quality and originality of
your bows. Pass out your brochures, use a little girl hair model, etc...

Come up with a game to play as the last part of the party and promise a prize for all
players.

Hair Bow Exchange is fun and rewarding to all players;
Using the hair bows you brought for display, pass them around the group along to a
song, or by using some other method (oldest to youngest, etc...) All players go home
with a free bow on that night.
If you plan to play this game, you may bring extra bows in case you need enough for all the guests/players.

Pass out business cards and an extra brochure to all guests, inviting them to
host a party for you in their home. Include an incentive such as "for every 5
bows sold at a party, hostess receives one free bow," or something along those
lines.
