You Just NEVER Know…

This isn’t your typical planner tip…more like advice based on recent personal experience.

OK, you know Party Pals. What you may not know, and what is mentioned below, is that we have a sister company, Interactive Inflatables, which manufactures/sells custom inflatables. And the reason for this story is to demonstrate to you all that you never know where your next piece of business will come from…it could be totally unrelated to your product or service…so, here’s the story:

As some of you know, I am rather involved with the Los Angeles Chapter of the International Special Event Society (ISES LA). Earlier this summer, I received a phone call from Michael Friedman at Entertainment Lighting Services (ELS). I had met Michael at an ISES monthly meeting and we see each other at various meetings and industry functions. Well, it seems that Michael and John Chuck, the owner of ELS, had a project and wanted to know who made the inflatable games in our rental inventory. I told Michael that we made our own inflatables… well, actually Interactive Inflatables did. He had no clue that we were in that business also…again, that’s my fault. Being as involved with Party Pals as I am, I never really talk about the manufacturing side…which is stupid on my part.

 

Anyway, after telling him some of the clients we had made custom inflatables for, Michael asked if we could take a look at some concepts ELS and their client had come up with for use at the upcoming Simpsons movie premier in Westwood. I said sure and there began the formation of a new relationship. You see the result above and below…pretty cool huh? Because of Party Pals involvement in and support of ISES, we get a call for help on a project that, to the caller, was totally unrelated to Party Pals. And yet, a new relationship was created and a very high profile job was completed successfully. So, YOU JUST NEVER KNOW!!!

Moral of the story… don’t take ANYTHING for granted. Treat the most innocuous call like it could hold the key to a million dollar account. Treat your smallest client as good as you treat your biggest one…it’ll pay off in the long run. Get involved in the local chapters of industry organizations like ISES, MPI, ABC, NACE, HSMAI, SDSA, etc…go to some meetings…choose the organization(s) that feels best to you and then, GET INVOLVED. It paid off in a big way for us in the above example…it’ll pay off for you too!!!

Until next time…take good care…

Jeff and the team at Party Pals and Interactive Inflatables…By the way, WE’VE BEEN SIMPSONIZED!!!


The gang here at Party Pals has Simpsons fever after our recent project manufacturing inflatables for the movie premiere in Los Angeles.

Did you know that the rental division Party Pals is the sister company of Interactive Inflatables? That's right, we produce all the inflatables used at your events and we also create some of the most unique custom inflatables available worldwide.
