Well, yeah. but if I were only going to do one toe/finger per client and charge a minimal fee. I would take the total price of the service at regular price and divide it by ten ( naturally!) and then maybe add a buck or two and let that be the donation. Personally, I think that doing a whole set-assuming you can create a setup that will be comfortable and ergonomic-would generate as much interest as the finished product itself. People love to watch other people getting nails done. So set it up like a "magic show" or something! Have your cards all over the place and be sure your victims won't mind everyone watching! Everyone will think you are the shit! Also, all the people who knew you from back in the day when you were supermom will remember you too! JMHO Melody Montgomery _____

I need to re read that. I was thinking freebie. BUT if she only does one toe for two dollars, she will get more done and her name out to more people! All I can think of is those poor girls at all the booths in Chicago who were doing all 10 toes for free. And from the looks of those getting it done, they were not going to buy the stuff- they just wanted FREE pretty toes!!!

Why should she only do one toe per client? I mean, if she were doing them for free, then yeah. but I was kinda thinking that everyone there would be doing goods and/or services at regular prices and donating the money to the cause. But, either way-I definitely feel like it is still smart networking! I would hand out cards, menus of services and prices, everything I could related to my salon! Smilz.. Great opportunity for rack cards! In case anyone on the list doesn't know, I design logos, business cards, tshirts, and all kinds of marketing items that you can purchase from me!

Okay-- smart networking my dear. You will not be the only one doing it. And at the time when you are getting ready to reestablish yourself!!!! Bling toes-- do ONLY one per person. If you have a bar stool use that for them to sit on or you will have a back that hurts for days. I did it once and that was all it took!! I crawled up the steps for days!! I would not go overboard with decor, but use your salon theme so they remember it. Tuscan was it? Use that for your table. If I think of more, I will get back to you. I am cleaning up our walk in fridge and the dining room. We just found out we have termites and got treated but "he" neds to have everything put away!! Lol.

Premise is cancer never sleeps and neither will we till we find a cure! Ok so I was asked to go (and of course I will) but there is also an opportunity to do some fundraising there. After the dinner, "parade" and speeches...people will then go into the gym and stay at their "campsite". It is there that you can fundraise...all money going to the cause...I thought I might do some nail art, or polishing...or maaayybe some bling toes. There will be like 600 people FROM THE COMMUNITY there.....I thought I would pass out some cards at the same time...do you think that is ....how shall I say it, "taking advantage of the situation?" or smart networking? I don't want to come across as the first way. I used to be well known in the community, active in the schools PTA president, on committees, cub scout secretary, pre-school teacher...etc...but my kids are grown up now and I had moved away for awhile. This will be the first time I am seeing alot of people in a long time. I need some suggestions on what to do and how to present it. (set-up...decorate... etc) <javascript:void(0)> Pati Everyone has a photographic memory. Some, like me, just don't have any film. _____ Why pay full price?
