Backyard Boutique Party Network (“BBPN”) is offering a unique way
for women-owned businesses to market their companies, showcase
their products, spotlight their services, and network…all in a hip,
fun, and creative party atmosphere…with little effort or cost on
the part of the business owner. The membership-based networking
group is made up of women from all different levels of
entrepreneurship, ranging from those who only have an idea with a
desire to start a business to those with already established
businesses looking to make quality contacts and get new
customers.
What started out as “girl talk” between a couple of friends with a
desire to showcase their own small businesses, has grown into a
collaborative event with a group of motivated women where you can
shop with vendors from the direct sales "Home Party" network as
well as crafters, designers, artists, service providers and other
small businesses from the local community, all in one convenient
location!
BBPN hosts a one-of-a-kind shopping party just for urban-minded
women, bringing together clothing boutiques, original jewelers, spa
service providers and more. Think Tupperware party with a
twist…lots of different vendors, plenty of unique and trendy items,
and no boring sales presentations. Creative in-home boutique
parties provide the ultimate personal shopping experience, in an
intimate yet fun setting.
The Scene: Tables are set up throughout the home or business,
displaying products that can be bought right there on the spot or
explaining the services of, for example, a day spa or pet adoption
agency. Guests can leisurely check out the goods while munching on
hors-d'oeuvres and sipping wine.
The range of merchandise is incredible: handmade jewelry, bath and
skin-care products, clothing, handbags, and home decor -- just to
name a few. Service vendors include insurance agents, chefs,
personal trainers, photographers, party planners, hair stylists,
and others.
The party entertainment is the vendors themselves; often doing
demonstrations like a chair massage from the massage therapist
hoping to gain new clients, or a foot soak from the woman selling
skin-care products. Door prizes and giveaways also add to the
exciting festive atmosphere.
But it's not just the boutique party scene that's making the talk
of the town; it's the fact that they're devoted solely to women
business owners…mostly from small, home-based businesses…and are
creating a rapidly spreading network of business relationships and
new friendships.
