Help Needed! Approaching Sororities with an Event Idea
Hi! I was hoping to get some advice from people who know the Greek system. I wasn't involved with Greek Life when I was a college student, but I would love to approach some sororities in my area (San Diego/LA) with hosting an event for my business. I'm an independent jewelry stylist with Stella & Dot...the jewelry is gorgeous and I know that the women would love the jewelry! Stella & Dot trunk shows are fun, casual and interactive. I essentially come to the (sorority) house, set up my jewelry collection and all of the women try on the jewelry, have drinks & snacks and socialize with one another. It would be such a great sisterhood event or even a fun mother/daughter event. But I don't know how to actually get in contact with the right people I need to talk to.
I looked up email contact info and sent out dozens of inquiries but have heard nothing. I have a feeling that I am approaching things the wrong way. What is the best way to approach a sorority to find out if they are interested in an event? Would I mail a catalog with a nice letter? Who am I supposed to talk to?
Any advice is appreciated! You can look at the jewelry I'm selling at the home website (stelladot.com) so that you can see for yourself it's a really beautiful, stylish product! I don't want to post my personal e-boutique site because I don't want to get flagged for advertising since that's not why I am at this forum. I truly want advice and help on how to do this. It would help my business out so much. Thank you so much for your input!
