It’s a lot of work to market your business and book private parties, but private parties is exactly what you need to keep you busy and making money throughout the winter.  If you are doing everything you’ve learned here so far, then your phone is ringing even in these December days.

Let’s run down your checklist of ways to build private party business:

• You’ve been talking to everybody you tat throughout the year about the fact that you do private events.
• You’ve been talking to everybody you meet, including the grocery store cashier about tats and private parties.
• You’ve given every one of your tat customers throughout the year a coupon for 20% off a private tat party.
• You’ve gone through your local phone book and made a regular mailing list of larger companies in your area that might need a tat artist at their next event, and you’ve mailed a postcard to them at least four times in the past year.
• You’ve taken that same list, and searched their websites for the email addresses of the corporate officers, then emailed each of those corporate officers at least four times in the past year soliciting a private tat party event using your company.
• You have mailed, then emailed, every school principal in your area about tat parties at dances & graduations, tats at football games, fund raisers and other events. You’ve sent this mail out at least four times during the school year.
• You’ve gone personally to the largest companies in your area and dropped off information about tat parties with the receptionist and the HR department.
• You’ve contacted every party planner in your area and told them about your business.

If you’ve done all that with zealous fervor, then you should be getting some parties booked.  But sometimes, when you are in your festival booth and you can’t even see the end of the line, it’s difficult to talk to each customer as much as you need to in order to plant the seed that later grows into a private event or party.

This is where you need our newest banner, the “TAT Party Me!” series.  We have a small child, and a teenager, with a businessman and a group of tatted smiling people coming soon on 24” x 60” full color, vertical banners with the captions, “TAT Party Me!”  These banners come grommeted and ready to hang in your booth, or else you can use the nifty pop-up stand included free with your purchase.

They are guaranteed to get attention in your booth without your having to say anything.  If the customer sees this, he might even be more tempted to pick up one of your private party discount cards off your table without even asking you about it.  And if you have time to speak to this customer about private parties, he will already be open to the concept.

These banners are priced right at $97 for the banner and the stand, but this price is only good through the end of the year.  Take a look.  Place your order.
