so as of now we have models wearing cache gowns and the hair is being done by mia and maxx they supplied us with samples to hand out. a local jewelry store (the one who made us HK necklaces) made us these gorgeous cupcake necklaces for us to wear over the weekend. and a local baker is making mini cupcakes that we will set out. i made flyers that said something about it being "prom couture". i hope it goes well and i will share pics of the event.

Good luck with your event Erin! Sound awesome.

I don't think we have anything planned yet. This weekend we're doing Viva Glam.

How does everyone feel about the new shirt? I kinda like it, you know the V cut.

Good luck everyone w/ your Sugar Sweet!

Im looking forward to the new prep n prime! woop woop!

ugh unfortunately my counter doesnt have the resources to bring in models or do anything extraordinary, so im thinking of having a tango theme with (black) roses in our hair...no clue on clothes yet. I thought about doing more soft and romantic looks...but it seemed too boring to me.

i plan on making rose barretes for our hair in different shades. but what i really wanna do is make paper (or oragami) roses and spritz them with the dejarose perfume and pass them out to customers, maybe even attach a small flyer inviting them to try out the collection.

as far as resources for models, its all about networking. we find people willing to work for free makeup we just give them a few piecesof left over gratis and they are happy!

*Im not a product specialist, or a MAC artist*

But you could look into modelmayhem.com for models. You can post a "casting call" about what you need, and then list the benefits (i.e. free makeup). Then models respond, and you can pick from there.

Just a thought

ok so im brainstorming for rose romance.... i think i want to do a focus on weddings. i know a model who looks just like the one in the image, maybe i can get her in a vintage style wedding dress. maybe i can make a romantic gift basket with donations from local businesses and have customers who spend over $100 put their names in for a drawing for the gift basket. i gotta do something to generate business, fiscal year ends soon and we are scrambling to make our numbers. any ideas guys?

time for us to come up with some style warrior ideas. i already made an appointment book and we have started booking already. id love to have our trainer do some body painting on models, like do some tribal markings and animal print, but very couture. i think that could definatly draw a crowd. are you guys planning anything fun? im having my girls do very bold looks, i said big hair and sexy skin showing outfits, i want them to look like man eating glamazons and told them they could accessories with animal print. i want everyone looking fierce that weekend. anything to grab attention!

Woo I love this thread!! This is what we're doing for our Style Warriors event: Right now we are having everyone bring in tears of what a "style warrior" means to them and having them hang their ideas on an inspiration board in our back room.. We have also created four looks for everyone at the counter.. Our men are doing the displayer look (this seriously looks killer on guys!! and it's not too girly.

) and then we have three other looks.. we are doing the Gold Rebel look (collection), Liberated (beauty), and then we have a KILLER theatrical facechart that has like tribal markings on it, crazy liner, and crazy colour placement. We kind of took the theme from the last update of doing displayer, beauty, collection, and theatrical looks for everybody. I talked to our trainer yesterday and she said that everyone is allowed to wear two pieces of animal print (accessories)! YAY!!

Any fellow Viva Glam ambassadors here? I need help with ideas to encourage more sales for VG. Like games or what motivates you guys more to push viva glam. Help?

we are starting "viva la sundays!", so every sunday we wear whatever viva shirt we have with our fave viva combo. we have done contest where our trainer would give a starbucks or forever21 gift cert to the person who sold the most. we also each picked our fave viva glam and put it in our brush belt so we are more amped to use it. if some ask for a nuetral everyday gloss viva V is the first i show them, if they want deeper plumy color thats still nuetral viva VI and if they want something spingy and soft viva VI s.e., now they may not buy it, but at least you showed them. i try to demo a viva first, if they arent feeling it i move on. you can also write down every viva glam product on slips of paper and have each artist draw from a hat, then do the same with lipliners and glosses, what ever they draw is the combo they have to wear. tis way it will show new ways to wear them and also show customers how with just changing the liner a lipstick can be changed.

We have started Viva Glam sundays again, and we have a goal of VG to sell a day, we have quite the number to crunch before the fiscal year ends.

I'm gonna work on a system for prices for a certain amount of VG sold. Yay! Hope it works out

THanks.

ok this is how you figure out each artists monthly goal. its a MAC equation hahaha:
month goal x .05 (because viva glam should be 5% of your sales) = the $ amount of vivas. take that number and divide it by 14 (the amount of each viva)= the number of vivas per month. take that number divide it by the amount of weeks in the fiscal month (either 4 or 5 depending on the month)= # per week that needs to be sold. take that number and divide it by the amount of selling hours in the week = amount per hour. take that number multiply it by each artists selling hours to give them their personal weekly goal. whew!! hope you can follow that. i just had to do that for our store. im appointing one of our girls to be the viva glam ambassadore for our store, i cant do it all. as 3rd key and prodcust specialist i have a lot on my plate. im gonna let her run with this, but i will guide her where i can.

are you guys doing the ribbon thing? we were told on the last conference call to pass out little red ribbons to the artists (for the amount of their weekly goal). they have to wear them and everytime they sell a VG they give a ribbon to the customer. this way they know how many they have left to sell for the week and if all their ribbons are gone theyve made their goal.
