Any BRIGHT Ideas?

Hi Everyone, I’m in the process of (finally) planning my open house, but I need some ideas. Did you guys have a special Grand Opening or Open House for your home-based skincare spa/studios? If so, how did it turn out? I’ve Google some ideas, but personal stories and suggestions are always more encouraging. Thanks in advance!

Hi I had an open house in May it was a great turn out Best advise network with other women who have something to offer as well like silpada or tastfully simple or sensy they bring there stuff in and they will also invite people they know and so on that will give you new people to come in contact with also I did offer gift card purchases for that day only at a 20% discount sold alot of those so you get the money that day then they just call and book later . Talk to everyone there offer free mini services so they can sample your touch ect. like a mini facial massage talk about the benefits. or free skin analysis, free hand massages Most important Have fun ! I am also thinking of having another one after Thanks giving before Christmas .Good Luck

Hi Cheryl, thanks for responding and for sharing your experience! Your ideas are great! There’s a reflexologist who (just) volunteered, and there’s someone who sells purses, and someone who sells jewelry. Did you provide an agenda before or during the event? If not, how did you handle the flow? I’m thinking of having two separate times, for example, 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. and again from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Did you ask folks to RSVP or did you simply advertise?

Thanks again!

My daughter made up a flyer and we all had some we were all mentioned on the flyer and what we would be doing for instance Cheryl Bruss Licensed Esthetician - Free skin analysis our massage therapist was doing free chair massage ect. So we all handed them out to everyone we knew and then some. Just had a flow of people coming and going from 3 to 7 it went great. No RSVP also simple finger food and drinks It was alot of fun. We also had a drawing for a day of beauty ! We had that on our flyer to entice people to come put there name in and come see our place and meet us . Good luck Let me kow how it all goes for you .
