Bags, giveaways and Sample sale

The Sheckys events have been sooo much fun. I have been out of town every week since April. I've gone to Dallas, Philly, L.A & Minneapolis every single week doing these shopping events. Its been an experience watching how people shop from state to state and which of my products they are drawn to the most & yadi yada. THE highlight howeverrrr was two weeks ago when I did the designer Market in Soho and miss Tyra, Ty-Ty baby came to the market and bought one from me. I was really excited about that because I sell to a lot of stores and I don't really know who buys them, all I know is whoever is buying them is FIERCE with a capital F. lol
I didnt take a pic, I'll just be buying life& style weekly to see if I can see someting. My pet peeve is grown folk who like to act like fans and hound celebs for pics.. I just dont understand it. I used to have a boutique on the lower east side with my designer friends.We used to have everybody from Britney Spears to Vivica Fox to Bjork , Drew Barrymore come in there . the last thing they want is for you to start asking for pics when they are trying to do some shopping. At swag parties or style Lounges its appropriate because they are there for your products and u can use their images for Marketing purposes. Style lounges take place before major award ceremonies or film festivals.Image and video hosting by TinyPic Image and video hosting by TinyPic Image and video hosting by TinyPic Image and video hosting by TinyPic

They are product showcasing and gifting suites which allow your company to directly gift celebs and capture photos of them with your product.. They usually have Wireimage or Getty Images taking the pictures. At the end of the day be prepared to give away/gift about 100 products for pictures.
I will be in L.A for the MTV movie awards style lounge and I am going to have a sample sale at my friends house at the weekend so if anybody wants to come let me know so we can prepare a goody bag for you.
Some of the things you can expect at the sample sale
