I never feel like I am pushing anyone to book a show...
my dates are valuable if I give you one you must be special... that is
what is in my head....
Now the balloon game... as guest arrive they get the
balloon... as I hand it to them I say... " this is yours for the evening
after all what's a party with out balloons and presents. Hang on to it and
don't trade it away you may be holding the special balloon.... It's yours"
and if she asks any questions re: what's inside... I just give a very
sneaky look and a smile!
When I open the show I casually remind them to hang onto
their balloons, that we will get to them later in the show...
For the entire evening the women "owns" the balloon and
the gift inside. You will see them shaking the balloon and see the
curiosity in her eyes. When doing the door prize slip and I get to #3 I
say.... "Ok ladies you all have your balloons, and by now you have figured
out that there is a special gift inside from me! If you decide to book a
show this evening the gift is yours and you may pop your balloon to
discover what you have won, otherwise you must return the balloon to me.
If three of you pop your balloon then the hostess get to pop hers as well"
The wording here is key! There is not a person in that
room who is not dying to know what her prize is... and not a single one
who is thrilled to give you HER balloon back. And your hostess will also
want to pop hers to see what HER MYSTERY prize is, so she will work to get
other to pop theirs. They must bring their Balloon to me with their order
and pop the balloon with me.
It works!
Inside the balloons are various things, lotion bar, bath
bead, candles, shower gel.. you decide how much you are willing to spend
to "buy" a show... and then select items from catalog using that figure as
a base...
