Gatherings

Having a Candle or Soaper's Gathering or Convention? Let BC be a sponsor!

We will donate door prizes, samples or gift certificates to help make your gathering a success!

Please understand that we receive a large number of requests, and while we would love to be able to honor them all, we cannot accomodate every one. So we ask that you please review the following list and make sure your group meets these requirements before submitting your application form.

Gathering Sponsorship Requirements:

* Group must have at least 20 confirmed people attending the gathering.

* Must give us at least 1 month notice before the gathering.

* Must have a web page online with all details including date, time, place, directions and events planned.
Note: If your group is on Yahoogroups, your list's homepage on yahoo is sufficient.

* Must list Bitter Creek as a contributing sponsor on website with a banner link to our site.
Use this banner:
Here is the HTML code to insert:

(If site is a yahoogroups site, add our link to your "bookmarks" section.)

* Must provide us a list of names, addresses and e-mails of all gathering attendees.

* We would like permission to link back to the group's site and announce your gathering on our site as well!

Some cool ideas for gatherings:

* Have soap or candlemaking project demonstrations!

* Invite guest speakers to talk about marketing & selling ideas, display ideas, etc!

* Hold soap or candle swaps!
Example: Each person brings 1 votive or 1 soap bar to put in the swap box, then everybody reaches in and gets one
(hopefully not their own!).

* Have an ugly soap or candle contest!

* Have a recipe swap!
Example: Each person types up a sheet on a candle or soap project they specialize in, and brings enough copies
to hand out for everyone at the gathering.

* Set up a "sniffy table" with scent samples for everyone to smell! (don't forget the coffee grounds!)

* Have a soap or candle trivia quiz and give out door prizes dontated by sponsoring suppliers!

* Hand out brochures, cards, coupons, and samples sent by sponsoring suppliers!

* Take photos of the gathering to put on your website to encourage more visitors next year!
