Strategic Alliances to Increase Market Share

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

By E.R. Rigsbee Increase Market Share Few, are the businesses that do not desire to increase their market share. Unfortunately, very few know how to achieve this lofty goal. Below are a number of ideas that should prompt your thinking in areas of developing strategic alliances to increase your market share. Co-branding such as snack manufacturers who are now mixing two nationally known names and logos on a single product. Examples of this are Betty Crockers’ Soda-Licious, soda pop fruit snacks, made with 7UP and 7UP Cherry. Also, is the popular milk chocolate-covered Pretzel Flipz by Nestl featuring Rold Gold pretzels. In other market segments examples are Crest toothpaste with Scope mouthwash included. At Ford, they co-brand both with Eddie Bauer and Harley Davidson. You can gain access to new markets both domestic and international. Copeland Corporation joined with the largest compressor manufacturer in India, Kirloskar, to bring air conditioning to a growing middle class in that country. You will find that partnering can provide the benefit of positioning for future needs not yet known to you or your industry. An example, a lead-user firm is one whose present needs will reflect its segment’s needs in future months or years. Through partnering, one company can assist another in leapfrogging current industry leaders. Cooperating with newer firms more willing to pursue a riskier development strategy to gain market shares does this. This strategy can aid companies, large and small, in more rapidly and efficiently reaching their collective goals. Additional business to justify operating a production facility. In developing strategic alliances with competitors, you might do the production for both. This is similar to retailers that have a store brand developed by the recognized national brand manufacturer. Opportunity to develop a private labeling or branding identity. American Dental Cooperative, a distributor in Nashville, TN has been successful in this area as has Power Heavy Duty in the heavy-duty truck repair industry. Sales lead and help in procuring new business. Brian Potts, a VP at 3M recently made this offer to his strategic building service contractor customers at their CEO retreat in Mexico. He detailed how other 3M divisions are most likely are selling the customers that the contractors seek and how they could take advantage of those already established relationships. Opportunity to expand business with new or related product innovations and service offerings. Helen Chavez at La Tapatia Tortilleria partnered with a competitor to serve a large grocery store chain in California and ended up double dipping for her effort. Preferred supplier status as Steelcase in Grand Rapids, MI, awards to suppliers that have proven their performance abilities. These suppliers have to earn their way to the top of the chart, and when they do they receive the benefits of being a preferred supplier. You can reduce direct competition as achieved by the Sun/IBM alliance has created the Java operating system to keep Microsoft at bay. To gain market share, Lexus and Coach, the New York-headquartered manufacturer of fine leather products teamed up in an exclusive partnership to produce the Limited Lexus ES 300 Coach Edition. Geographic expansion is what happened to Ronald Finks West Palm Beach, FL company, RGF Environmental Group, following a trip to Asia with other local CEOs and Ray Reddish, a senior management analyst at Floridas commerce department. Within 18 months of his trip he had hired 14 new employees just to handle his Pacific Rim business. Some states aggressively partner with local manufacturers to expand exporting there by increasing state revenue. Create marketing synergism to the consumer through cross promotion like Blockbuster and Dominos did. Blockbuster held a promotion that required a customer to rent three movies and in return receive a $10 savings book for Dominos Pizza. Both partners received increased traffic through the joint promotion. This can easily be done at the local level between, as an example, the drug store and the dry cleaners. Barriers to market entry by a new player; this protects the current players as did two telephone companies in the greater Los Angeles area. They partnered to serve UCLA in a method that closed an opportunity to a new provider attempting to enter their market. Marketing assistance to support order volume for products as when a small company develops an alliance with a large company. This is common in the pharmaceuticals industry. Your imagination and ability to implement are your only true obstacles.

Wedding Flower Arrangements

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

By Ken Marlborough If youre planning to have elaborate flower arrangements in your wedding, you neednt spend a fortune. Not only will they look decorative, but will add a touch of elegance to your big day and will express your personality as well. You could have a simple round bouquet either for yourself or for your bridesmaid. To choose your wedding flowers, take a sample of your wedding dress along to match the flowers with. Your attendants’ dresses should be well coordinated and blend with your dress and you should choose light shades of pink for them while you wear traditional white. For your main flowers, choose roses, rosebuds, carnations, and lilies and buy them in bulk. If you have extra flowers, use them in corsages, boutonnieres, and your throw bouquet. Greenery such as ivy and filler flowers like lily of the valley are ideal and will serve as a background to your main flowers. Make your bouquet with bouquet holders, a bouquet stand, flowers, greens, scissors, floral tape and wire, wire cutters, and trimmings. Choose from these bouquet styles including a drop shower, which has a wide trail with the flowers flowing out from a posy top set on wires; a teardrop arrangement that has a wide trail with a posy top held together by a central wire; a shower that has a posy top that flows down to end in a long trail of flowers, attached to a central wire; a trailing, which is a delicate bouquet but without a posy top that is just right for bridesmaids; a formal posy that comes in a rounded shape with greens, lace or net as distinctive trimmings; or an informal posy that need not be strictly round in shape. Your and your bridesmaids bouquets should be color coordinated to give the event a warm and harmonious look. Flower Arrangements provides detailed information about flower arrangements, Christmas flower arrangements, dried flower arrangements, and more.

The Proper Piercing Supplies

Monday, August 27th, 2007

By Morgan Hamilton Depending upon what you plan on piercing will dictate what kind of piercing supplies you will need. If it’s just your year that you plan on piercing, you can pick up a piercing kit at any local mall, which has a surgical steel earing, as well as a single shot piercing gun. And the vast majority of cases piercing can be cleansed with some rubbing alcohol, and if anything else is necessary, the piercing kit will more than likely instruct you on what is needed. If it’s other body parts that you plan on getting pierced, whether nipple, eyebrow, genitals or navel, you should number one, have a high tolerance for pain, and number two, haven’t done by a professional instead of using your own piercing supplies. Professional piercers will be equipped with the piercing supplies that you will need. The majority of piercings are not done with a gun but with a needle and in some cases with a clamp. It is a very simple procedure when the needle is pushed through the skin and a barbell is either attached to the end of the needle, or slid in behind the needle and pulled in to the piercing. A good piercer should have all of the piercing supplies that are needed to do a proper, sterile cleaning, as well as those for you to care for your piercing and prevent infection afterwards. Most piercing supplies will include an autoclave for the all-important step of sterilizing the needles. Kids will also include needles with various gages, and sanitary wipes, and an assortment of other tools that are necessary to get the job done properly. Your piercer should also provide you with a guideline to cleaning your piercing, a timetable of recovery time, and piercing supplies to properly care for your skin. When I got my nipples pierced they gave me a sterilizing solution to keep the piercing clean, another rub with aloe in it to protect the wound from infection, and sea salt and cups to soak it in. In addition to these piercing supplies, I was given detailed and shark shines that spelled out exactly what I needed to do to take care of my piercing. The expected recovery time in my case was two to three months. Fortunately for me the piercing supplies and instructions that came with were more than up to the challenge. They did kind of scare me a bit, with all the talk of risks of infection and oozing and crusting, lovely thoughts I know, but as it turned out the recovery was a snap. I kept it clean with the piercing supplies, so except for the fact that it was a little uncomfortable, nothing was all that inconvenient about it the entire process.

An Army of Ordinary People: Rebels without an Edifice

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

By Michael Tummillo I just put down a small booklet entitled: “AN ARMY OF ORDINARY PEOPLE: 2006 House Church Conference.” It started out with a quote from Time Magazine, march 6, 2006. “Some Evangelicals are abandoning megachurches for minichurches based in their own living rooms. There is no pastor, choir or sermon just…believers and Jesus among them, closer than their breath.” Ok, they had my attention. The first headline read, “REVOLUTION IS AFOOT…WITH AN ARMY OF ORDINARY PEOPLE!” It said, in part, “Every day, people like your friends, family and neighbors are discovering the blessings of living abundantly in a fresh church atmosphere where everyone is welcome to share their gifts and questions, ideals and burdens. According to recent research, there are as many as 30,000 house churches sprouting throughout North America, and more are multiplying every day.” The next paragraph: “A FRESH STORY WITH ANCIENT ROOTS.” It read: “…people are on a quest. They want to connect with God and other people in a real, honest way. The church has been responding to Jesus’ call to get over her “edifice complex” ad fully claim her birthright as the hands and feet of Jesus Christ - in houses, the marketplace, and throughout creation.” It’s true. Jesus wants His Church back. It appears God is taking Her back to square one. Read what Scripture says about the early Church. No buildings, no church staff, no paid preacher. Take a look: Romans 16:5 (”Likewise greet the church that is in their house”) 1 Corinthians 16:19 (”The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.”) Colossians 4:15 (”Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.”) Philemon verse 2, (”…to Archippus our fellow soldier and to the church that meets in your home.”). Based on a regular series of national surveys conducted by his company, the Barna Research Group, during the past 25 years, George Barna discovered that discontent with congregational churches, changes in lifestyles, and even a desire to get closer to God, have caused many people to seek new ways of being in relationship with God and other God-seeking people. In 2000, most of the nations organized religious activity took place at or through local churches. Barnas research reveals that. Today, the action is shifting to different forms of corporate religious commitment. Different, yes, but by no means are they new. Barna found that, in a typical week, 9% of all American adults participate in a house church. An even greater proportion 22% - engages in spiritual encounters that take place in the marketplace (e.g., with groups of people while they are at their place of work or play, or in other typical daily contexts). Even the Internet serves as the foundation for interactive faith experiences for more than one out of every ten adults, usually in tandem with other forms of religious group experiences. I can attest to that. Jon Zens, editor of the quarterly publication, “Searching Together,” and an advocate of New Testament church life being lived-out today, has observed a growing exodus of people from institutional churches across America. He explains. “After years of starving in the institutional church, they leave to find New Testament realities. People study their Bibles and come to perceive a huge chasm between the New Testament and the traditional church and often they leave after the institutional church disregards their pleas for change.” GOING TO vs BEING THE CHURCH The New Testament writers referred to the PEOPLE of God as God’s building (1 Corinthians 3:9, Ephesians 2:19-22), God’s temple (1 Corinthians 3:16-17), God’s house (1 Timothy 3:15, Hebrews 3:6, 10:21, 1 Peter 2:17), God’s household (Ephesians 2:19, Galatians 6:10) and Christ’s body (Romans 12:4-5, 1 Corinthians 12:12, Ephesians 3:6, 5:23, 30). Though most Christians - even ministers - would say ‘Amen” to that, such a response is generally little more than mere lip service. Did Christians in the New Testament GO to church? No, for the first three centuries of her existence, the thought never entered their minds. They WERE the church! They understood that they WERE God’s dwelling place - everywhere they went. They were His temple! As Howard Snyder writes in “The Problem of Wineskins Today,” “A church building cannot properly be “the Lord’s house” because, in the new covenant, this title is reserved for the church as people. So, if church buildings have any justification, it can only be practical; simply a place to meet and carry on essential functions, as necessary.” The Book of Acts is STILL being written, my friends. RUNNING THE CHURCH LIKE A BUSINESS What we in the West typically refer to as “The Church” is taking its toll on the people we hire to run these organizations. Zens said, “Divorce, suicide, nervous breakdown, burnout, etc. abound among clergy. The average pastorate in the Southern Baptist Convention is under 18 months. The high-pressure altar call tactics have proven to produce “converts” that rarely last. Even with all the empirical evidence that many things are amuck in the traditional model, the real issue is ‘what does the New Testament teach?’ If any model contradicts or stifles the New Testament pattern, it should be jettisoned for such reasons alone. The early church had no clergy and no sacred buildings, and in this regard was radically different from all other religions, including Judaism. The proliferation of expensive church buildings constitutes a fundamental compromise of what Christ intended to build. Thus, believers gathering in informal settings [in] homes, rented store-fronts, outdoors and apartments apparently provides the best context for the 58 “one anothers” [in the Bible] to be fleshed out.” In his article entitled “Four Tragic Shifts in the Visible Church, 180-400 A.D.,” Zens writes. ” I think the primary theological point of the New Testament in this regard is that under the New Covenant there are no holy places. Contemporary Christianity has almost no grasp of this significant point. Taking a cue from the Old Covenant, people are still lead to believe that a church building is ‘the house of God.’ Believers are free to meet any place in which they can foster, cultivate and attain the goals set before them by Christ. The problem today is that many church structures neither promote nor accomplish Christ’s desires for His body. Homes are a neutral place for believers to meet, and the early church flourished well into the first and second centuries without erecting any temple-like edifices. But the issue is still not in what type of place believers gather, but what shape their committed life together takes as they wrestle with the many duties and privileges flowing out of the priesthood of all believers.” Christian Smith, writing in the journal “Voices In The Wilderness,” adds, “God intends church to be a community of believers in which each member contributes their special gift, talent, or ability to the whole, so that, through the active participation and contribution of all, the needs of the community are met. In other words, what we ought to see in our churches is ‘the ministry of the people,’ not ‘the ministry of the professional.’ The role of the clergy is essentially the centralization and professionalization of the gifts of the whole body into one person. The problem is that, regardless of what our theologies tell us about the purpose of clergy, the actual effect of the clergy profession is to make the body of Christ lame. This happens not because clergy intend it (they usually intend the opposite) but because the objective nature of the profession inevitably turns the laity into passive receivers.” THE CORPORATE PYRAMID IN THE CHURCH Passive laity? Pew potatoes? Their existence is borne out in such passages as Romans 12:4-8, 1 Corinthians 12, and in 1 Corinthians 14:26, the latter stating: “What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church.” Ministry in the New Testament church was not centered on one individual, but involved each member of the “ekklesia” (that’s you and me, “the called out ones”) as a functioning “priest” (1 Peter 2: 5, 9) under the headship of Christ and directed by the Holy Spirit exercising his/her gift for the mutual strengthening of the body. The New Testament refers to no spiritual hierarchy, but calls all Believers ’saints.’ Neither does it recognize a special priesthood in distinction from the people, as mediating between God and the laity. Clearly, there is only one high-Priest, Jesus Christ, and the New Testament clearly designates a universal royal priesthood, as well as universal kingship of believers (1 Peter 2:5,9; Rev. 1:6; 5:10; 20:6). So, what are we afraid of? Most Christians react more out of fear and a sense of loyalty to tradition than a commitment to Biblical truth as they poo-poo any such notions as being nearly heretical. So, when did everything change then? It happened in 312 AD when the Emperor Constantine was dubbed Pontifex Maximus, head of all things spiritual, including paganism and Christianity simultaneously. When he made institutional Christianity the state religion in Rome, he converted pagan temples into Christian “churches” and used state funds to support the clergy making ministry another elite “job” to which many would aspire. In this atmosphere, politics reared its ugly head in a supposedly Christian context as wealthy people would lobby to get “junior” a coveted post in the church world. Howard Snyder, in his book “Radical Renewal: The Problem of Wineskins Today,” writes, “A Biblical conception of the church will make it clear that the church is essential to the gospel, for it is the body of Christ…At the same time, it will be clear that human institutions and structures are not themselves the church; they are not hallowed. These are days when Christians must be clear about what the church is and what it is not. Just as many false Christs will come in the last days, so many counterfeit and apostate “churches” will litter the spiritual landscape. The church must be prepared, both as persons and as the Christian community, for the lash of persecution and the lure of the antichrist. This means the necessity for doctrinal clarity and authentic community - for both orthodoxy of belief and orthodoxy of community. Under the threat of persecution, life in community becomes both more difficult and more essential. Thus the priorities of structures which are flexible, mobile, inconspicuous, and not building-centered.” A THING OF THE PAST RESURRECTED What we are so committed to here in the Western Church is simply not working. That should be our first clue. Anyone can read the facts regarding the church: Most modern conversions are taking place in third-world nations. Our churches close at a rate of 3,800 annually. Eighty percent of what we refer to as “church growth” is little more than “transfer growth” as people leave one organization for another like we change political parties, sports teams and spouses. 53,000 Christians are walking out weekly, many claiming they had to leave the traditional church in order to find God. Is this “house Church” thing just a fad? No, it’s been around a long time. A significant home church movement began in Australia in 1968. For decades, home meetings have been the norm in China, Latin America and other places. If persecution erupted in America, the house church model could suddenly be very common, as churches that require immense weekly overhead to operate could fold virtually overnight. It will take a catastrophic event to awaken the church to what is important in the Kingdom. The Church flourishes under persecution. When that happens, the shape of believers’ lives together will change rapidly. Zens writes, “As long as our affluence continues, the informal approach to church will remain. But whether something is minority or majority is hardly the issue. Our concern must be, ‘how will we follow Christ in all areas of our lives? Are we going to obey the New Testament or not? One brother in our assembly has said, ‘our way of doing church is not popular. It requires hard work and commitment.’ The home church movement, of course, is not monolithic,” Zens pointed out. “… no movement will prosper long if it does not center on exalting Jesus Christ and obeying His Word.” Mike Morrell, zoecarnate.com, writes, “What we’re witnessing is nothing less than the return of the 1st Century church in a 21st century context. We’re rediscovering the peculiar genius of Jesus and His earliest apprentices afresh today.”Although it goes by many names (e.g. house church, simple church, open church, organic church, etc.), it is simply a group of people getting together with Christ as their center, and the Bible as the ultimate authority. These groups can gather anywhere–homes, workplaces, coffee shops, anywhere that people naturally gather! “Where two or three are gathered in My name, there I am, in the midst of them,” Jesus said. WILL YOU JOIN US? The booklet says, “The House Church Conference is an opportunity to share stories and connect with men and women throughout North America and the world who share a passion to be the Church in all Her original life and simplicity….” I belong to a home church (we meet at a local Bed & Breakfast on Thursday’s at 7PM but, when I injured my back last week and could not function very well, the group grabbed their pecan pie, poured the coffee into a thermos, piled into a van and showed up at my door to pray for my healing). My wife and I felt SO tremendously blessed! Our group is planning a road trip to Denver Colorado on September 1-4. There is another version of the conference taking place in St. Louis, August 25-27. The conference we are attending costs $134 for individuals and $248 for couples and there are rates for young adults (ages 15-21) and kids (ages 6-15). These prices do NOT include hotel stays. There are rates for groups of 6 or more as well. Interested parties should call 1-800-444-2326 to register and book hotel rooms. You may want to register online at www.house2house.com. These are EARLY BIRD RATES and you must register by July 16th to receive them! For someone out there, reading this now, something rang true as you read, as if your name has been called out. You felt as though your heart has skipped a beat. If that’s you, come with us. If you live in the Stephenville, Texas area, please consider taking part in this caravan pilgrimage with us!

School Bullying: Stop School Bullying with the Cops!

Friday, August 24th, 2007

By Paula McCoach Some of our hardcore bullies have Probation Officers. Our school administrators and counselors use these P.O.s to help us help the bullies. We get in touch with the Department of Juvenile Justice and communicate with them about the bully’s behavior. With several of the bullies, we would send the P.O. the daily checklist, so he/she would know how the bully was behaving every day. Also, we send any disciplinary referrals to D.J.J. In some states, a school disciplinary referral will cause the bully to be sent to a detention center for a short period of time. The most important idea is that the bully knows you are going to have open communication with the legal system that is monitoring him/her. For us, that onefact keeps some bullies on their best behavior. And that is all we want, isnt it?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Amanda_Thompson]Amanda Thompson Wedding is one of the special moments of our life. It is not only the two persons getting together for life, but also two families, two customs, two souls and their dreams. Though our dreams are priceless, but in today scenario we need money to fulfill our dreams. You and your partner can make your dreams come true and memorable forever with wedding loans. At times, the person may not be in a condition to bear all the expenses of marriage and regrets for life.

Planning a wedding is important before going for a wedding loan. As wedding is a big decision of life, it involves lots of planning and expense too. Planning will help one to determine the expense, which has to be incurred and apply for the wedding loan accordingly. Once you have decided to avail the wedding loan, your search for lender begins.

Tenant and the persons who do not want to take risk on their asset or home can apply for the unsecured wedding loan, where no collateral is needed but the interest rate offered is higher than the interest in secured wedding loan.

The Vinyl Fence Buyer’s Easy Guide

Monday, August 20th, 2007

By Natalie Aranda Many homeowners now prefer vinyl fencing than wood fencing because of the affordability and durability. While it is a daunting task for someone who has no knowledge of the product, it is quite simple if you know what to look for. Still cringing at the thought of buying a hard to put together item? This article will briefly explain what vinyl fences are, where to look for the best deals, and what you should absolutely avoid. Most consumers love vinyl fencing because it is not only affordable, but also more durable than wood. For people who want the authentic look, vinyl fences actually look exactly like real wood. This is a great alternative for someone who just wants to spend less money on an item such as this one. While it is very reasonably priced, it is important that you pay attention to what you are buying. Before purchasing any item, you must do as much research as you can. Like any other idea that you have, it takes time to create a budget, look at prices, and the different types that are offered. While there are local stores that provide vinyl fencing, most consumers actually buy these items online. Although using the internet to shop is normal and preferred, you must make sure that the vendor you are using is legit. After all, if you try a new online store and know nothing about it, they could steal your private information and never send you the item. Hence, it is absolutely vital for consumers to use a popular and legit service. Nevertheless, if you are iffy about using the internet for something so specific, you may want to look at your local fence shop. This way you can find out more details about warranties and can physically see the vinyl fencing. When ordering a vinyl fence kit, you must make sure that you are getting vinyl. There have been known cases where manufacturers actually send iron fences that resemble the original. Regrettably, these fake fences are not durable and rust when it rains or gets cold out. Also be hesitant if a website offers fences that are extremely cheap on EBay or other services. Although vinyl fences are affordable, there could be something wrong with them if theyve been used already. Vinyl fencing is one of the easiest items to put together. If you are wary of figuring it out, local stores will provide you with more specific instructions, and will help you out if you just cant seem to do it. On the other hand, the internet is also an amazing resource when trying to find an affordable deal. If you feel confident that you will have no trouble and can find a legit vendor, the opportunities are surely endless. Consumers are more than happy to sit at their computer and find the best vinyl fence that will suit them. As long as they know what type they want, it is effortless. For many, it is anything but a nightmare to just find the perfect fit. Once you have hit the purchase button, the difficulties are over. Natalie Aranda writes on home and garden.

Wooden Ship Models

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

By Jennifer Bailey Wooden ship models are built-to-scale representations of modern or ancient sea-faring vessels. Traditionally, all types of ship models have been built of wood, though with the advent of plastic and sheet metal, these have been used for amateur kits. Of course, wooden models project grandeur and finesse. The ancient Egyptians were the pioneers who made detailed ship models. The models were crafted as part of funeral rituals, which forced the builders to strive for precision, otherwise the unmitigated soul would pester them. The ship models kept inside the coffin were supposed to transport the soul of the deceased to the next world. Modern-day sea-faring received much instruction from these carefully preserved, 5,000- year-old models. Specimens of these boats found a place in the British Museum, the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and many other museums worldwide. Modern-day ship models came into existence before or during the construction of many eighteenth- and nineteenth-century warships. These were known as Admiralty or Shipyard models. Many of these models did not show the timbering they would have in the actual vessel, but the models illustrated the form of the hull and details of the deck furnishings, masts, spars, and general frame. The models provided the non-sea-faring financiers with a birds-eye view of the vessel that was to come into being. There are several types of construction of a wooden ship model. Some are carved from a single block of wood, others by gluing together blocks of wood, or by gluing together of slabs of wood into a laminated block. Others are built on what is called plank-on frame, built just as the full-size ship is constructed. Wooden models of all types of vesselsluxury cruise liners, war ships, sailing shipsare available from dealers. A wooden model of a Chalutier ship costs $149.95; a USS Ronald Regan model costs $999; a wooden model Schooner costs $26.96; a Harvey wooden model costs $110; a Cutty Sark Wooden model costs $189; and an Atlantic costs $195.95. There are various price ranges for the connoisseur. Ship Models provides detailed information on Ship Models, Tall Ship Models, Wooden Ship Models, Sailing Ship Models and more.

Finding An Entertainer For Your Child’s Party

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

By Low Jeremy A successful and memorable children’s birthday party is determined by one thing - how well and fun the entertainment was. This is what will make your party go down in history, so to speak. Even if you put so much effort on the food, the invitations and the decorations, it is the entertainment that will define how well your party went. Thus, while you’re trying to work under a budget with your kid’s birthday party, you should never scrimp on the entertainment. Now, this doesn’t mean that you should spend so much money on hiring so many people to provide excitement at your event. Even just one person, a very good host or a magician, for instance, is enough. It would be a big plus for you if you are able to find a person who can provide all sorts of entertainment and who is not confined to just one “trick”. Thus, if you’re hunting for an entertainer you can hire for the party, look for someone who is a jack of all trades. Of course, since the entertainer you’re hiring will be servicing a children’s birthday party, he or she must have a genuine love for kids. He or she should be truly interested in making children happy, otherwise, you’d be defeating your purpose. A person who is not in tune with what children like nowadays and are not friendly with kids does not deserve to be hired as entertainer. Hence, before you do any hiring, arrange for a short meeting and interview beforehand, so you can weed out those who are just doing the job not for the love of it, but only for the money. A grumpy entertainer who hates children might only ruin the party you prepared so hard for for your child. You can find prospects by searching the local listings or by surfing the Internet. It would be better if you hire someone who has been referred by a friend or a family member, because, at least you have an idea of his or her performance, attitude and track record. Never underestimate the power of referrals. Remember, it’s your child’s party on the line, so you definitely want to have someone who can give you your money’s worth. If you’re lucky (and really trying not to spend so much), you can ask a friend to dress up as a clown for the event. You’d be surprised that some of your close friends will be willing to act goofy to help you out. Try to ask who wants to volunteer first before you scan the yellow pages. You never know. In sum, the right entertainer for your child’s birthday party is one who has many tricks up his or her sleeve and is not limited by a single activity. The right entertainer is also one who adores kids. As said earlier, there’s nothing a short interview wouldn’t solve at the beginning.
