Hi everyone, a few of us girls from "the other website" have got together to organise a Party Plan Expo at Morayfield in October. We don't have a lot of details yet - but would love to hear from any Party Planners or Direct Sales people that would like to set up a stand.
This will be an event to raise money for a worth Charity (more news on which one will be given when we make the final choice - and day now) and an all day event.
For those of you that don't know Morayfield it's approx 40 mins, North of Brisbane. A great location because it is half way between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
Cost for a stand for the day will be $20 - and we will also being asking for each consultant to donate a prize torwards our raffle/s.
If you would like more information please just email or PM me. We are going to try and limit the stands to one from each Company - so get in quick!!
Would be great to see you there - and be able to meet you. Regards; Kath

Hi everyone, just thought I'd post again to give you all an update on the PP Expo we are organising. Here's a few things that have been sorted out so far.
Date: Saturday, 21st October
Time: 9am to 4pm
Venue: Morayfield Leisure Centre, Morayfield (40 minutes Nth of Brissy, 40 minutes Sth of Maroochydore)
Charity: All money raised on the day with be donated to the wonderful cause STARLIGHT FOUNDATION
Price: $20 + donation of prize towards raffle
Requirements: Bring your own table (and chairs) + Public Liability Insurance coverage required (most consultants can arrange this through their Head Office)
AT THE MOMENT WE HAVE 14 DIFFERENT PP COMPANIES BOOKED IN ! BUT OF COURSE THERE'S STILL ROOM FOR MORE - So If you haven't got your name down yet please contact me and I will help you out. We are also interested in hearing from other companys that don't offer Party Plan, ie Avon, etc. etc. For such a wonderful cause we won't be knocking people back - so if your business needs some extra coverage (especially leading up to Christmas) please contact me.

Hi Kath,
I hope the expo goes really well for you all. Good luck with it.
If I was closer (am in Melbourne) I would love to be apart of it, but it is a little far for me to travel.
Have great fun with it and I hope it all goes to plan.

We are based on the Sunshine Coast (Caloundra). We will come check it out. Maybe a PartyPlans.com.au prize is in order too!
SaucyKath replied:
Hi partyplans, Didn't realise you are so close! Great to see. Would love for you to come and check us out - and of course wouldn't say no to a prize
Maybe this could be a special something for one of the consultants to win - rather than a customer. (can I be really cheeky and recommend some free advertising ???? )
I know things are tough when you first start a new venture - so any little contribution would be a great help.

SaucyKath replied:
Hi CustomCandles - thanks very much for your well wishes (its all a bit nerve racking - but I'm sure it will be a great day)
I'll post again to let everyone know how things went,
Kath
SaucyKath replied:
Just thought I'd give everyone an update. We're up to 23 companies coming along!!!!!
Just need some great advertising now - on a low budget so the Starlight Childrens Foundation get more money from our day.
If anyone has any suggestions, or know a Party Plan Consultant / Direct Seller that would like to come along I'd love to hear from you.

Hi ladies,
This expo sounds fantastic. I have notified all our current consultants in the Brisbane area to see if someone from Voodoo Jewellery can represent on the day. Great idea.

Just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU
to PartyPlans for supporting our event & the WONDERFUL website they've created for us. Your support is overwhelming (especially since poor Mr PartyPlans has had to put up with my emails back and forth all day!!! )
Remember to add our website as above in your favorites and circulate it too all in your address book - ask them all to do the same - and we've got a bundle of free advertising.
Regards; Kath
PS Hope you get someone for us Nicole!! Good Luck
CustomCandles replied:
Wow, sounds like you are doing a fantastic job.
You have got a lot of stall holders already which is wonderful. I am sure that it is going to be a hugh success for you all.
I will definately let everyone I know up there to come along and join in.
Good luck with it all.
SaucyKath replied:
An update on our Community Expo!!!
30 companies coming along now - but we can still fit more in!! If you're willing to travel to Morayfield, (30 minutes North of Brisbane - 30 minutes South of Sunshine Coast) we'd love for you to come along. OR if you can't make it please tell other consultants. Still waiting to hear from quite a few companies, including Avon & Enjo if anyone has contacts.

Hi Kath, just wanted to let you know I droped on into the site and loved it so I joined, thanks for letting me know about it and I will chase up on the advertising and any other support I can get. I will get on to sending out that link straight away as well.
Cheers Jen.
SaucyKath replied:
YEP!! That's right we now have 41 different companies being represented at our Community Expo - but NOW WE URGENTLY NEED EVERYONES HELP!!
FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE SAID THAT THEY ARE COMING ALONG ON THE DAY - WE URGENTLY REQUIRE ASSISTANCE FROM YOU ALL.
OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A HUGE JOB FOR BOTH REBECCA AND I TO HANDLE - AND WE ALL KNOW THE OLD ADAGE "MORE HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK". PLUS! I AM OFF TO CAIRNS ON 9TH OCTOBER (only 2 weeks away) AND I DON'T RETURN UNTIL A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE EXPO (this trip has been booked since February - waaaay before we even thought of having an Expo)
SOOOOOO, I URGENTLY NEED EVERYONE TO CONTACT REBECCA (AngelEyes By Design) AND TELL HER HOW YOU CAN LEND A HAND.
ADVERTISING IS A HUGE PRIORITY AT THE MOMENT - SO IF ANY ONE CAN GIVE REBECCA A HELP WITH THIS IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
We need to organise super good rates for local papers (c'mon everyone pull out your contacts - usually we all know somebody "in the know"), help to have signs made and then erected directing people where to go (Can someone help with the Council approval for this - one of us must have a contact somehow ???), someone to perhaps hand out flyers on the day at various locations close by, advertising in School Newsletters, Day Care Centres, etc. etc.
REMEMBER THE DAY WILL NOT BE A SUCCESS IF WE DON'T GET THE PUBLIC THROUGH THE DOOR!
UNFORTUNATELY, REBECCA & I DON'T HAVE THE POWERS TO MAGICALLY MAKE THIS HAPPEN BY JUST CLICKING OUR HEELS TOGETHER IT IS SOMETHING WE NEED EVERYONE TO HELP WITH!
LET'S MAKE THIS DAY A HUGE SUCCESS BY ALL PULLING TOGETHER!!!!
HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL VERY SOON; KATH
