It is soooo HOT!! It is too hot to be outside unless you are in a pool and that gave me an idea for you. Why not sponsor a "Customer Appreciation Pool Party"? Just find a pool that would be appropriate and call several service providers to help sponsor it and send out invitations to all of your past clients from several years back. Make sure to invite any current clients too! This will be a great way to beat the heat and have a lot of fun too, networking with past customers, service providers and current clients.
Talk your BIC into doing one for the whole office to really make this successful! If you make it a big event, you can even promote it in your print ads and on the radio, etc., to help you draw in new prospects as well. This will let the public know that your office has fun and they reward clients too. At the party, you could have children and adult water games, music, volleyball and refreshments as well as a hotdog and hamburger cookout. For offices that support my business, call me so I can help with this idea too. I love pool parties, especially when it is 104 degrees outside like they are calling for this weekend!

Sam, Nice idea, especially with this heat in NC!!! I am ready to head up to our place on Beech Mtn, NC.. It usually never gets over 75 there - now I could stand that..
God bless,
We did this as a "family olympics..." I forgot! Hey- I want to see pics of you with the greased WaterMellon!
Good idea! Reminds me of the olden days when I use to lay on my pool lounger in water with a frozen margarita and make cold calls. That was in the day when it was easy to call... didn't have to check each number against the do no call list. Got lots of business that way back then!
HAHAHAHAHA!!! I wish i could say the same! It just snowed here yesterday!!! Unbelievable. I am sooo ready for summer!
Sam, I've hosted Harry Potter movies for client appreciation parties. It's not nearly as expensive as you'd think and I targeted my invitations to those clients that had children.
Just pick a really popular movie.
i think it is a great idea to get everyone together in the summertime... would you use a public pool or a private home? if you do it...let us know how it goes!
hey I like the idea, thanks for sharing it.
I was just thinking about this today. I would love to do it before the summer is over.
That's cool. I like it. Up here in the Northwest we're pretty modest but I'm going to keep it in mind. Thanks for the idea!
