My display from The Vendor Party
Sorry I haven't posted in a while guys, my husband has had health problems and we've been running around making sure he's going to be with us for a long time to come.

But to catch you up on what's been going on in my Arbonne life, on June 4th I attended a party at the Valkyrie Club. The owner Suzi Sheaffer opened her establishment to myself and five other vendors for the afternoon so we could do a vendor party. She was a gracious host and assisted everyone with set up and ensured that we all received the same exposure to the customers who wandered in from the street. The effort and enthusiasm she put into the project was AMAZING, and I will be happy to present her with an FC5 & Detox Spa Thank You Gift Set I hope she finds as much satisfaction with the products as I do. :-)

Cressinda and I
Among the other vendors were John Sheaffer of CNY Matrix; a professional web site developer and Cressinda Givens of Bella Donna Boutique; a women's clothing, accessory, and jewelry store in Syracuse NY. I knew John prior to the party, and I HIGHLY recommend his hosting services. They are both professional and reasonably priced, perfect for the rising entrepreneur. Cressinda I met at the party, but during our time together at the party I had the pleasure of getting to know her. She is a very hard working individual, a rare treasure so rarely found in this generation. She was showing her shoes and lingerie. At her shop she has a wider variety of merchandise including clothes, jewelry, shoes and accessories. I can't wait for June 18th when we will be getting together with the lovely Sheila Horne for a party! It will be awesome and I hope to have a good turnout!

Although the Valkyrie Vendor Party didn't attract a whole lot of customers, we the vendors had an awesome time getting to know each other and establishing our own little network. We hope to do another next year, and hopefully they will grow more successful as they become a more regular event! I know I thoroughly enjoyed the event, and I feel that the contacts that I made will be more worthwhile than if I'd had 100 customers. I have scheduled two parties as a result, and made several other contacts. I know Cressinda and Sheila also benefited, so the party was definitely not a waste of our time.
