I think we have all been there at some point. It is that moment when you have prepared for a trunk show (party), you have sent invitations, you have prepared food, you have cleaned your house, and no one shows up.
As a stylist it is hard when this happens to know what to do to resolve the situation.
If you are close to the hostess you can do one of two things
1. Help her reach out to her guest list and see if anyone had forgotten and would still like to come
2. Go ahead and do a Private Styling Consultation and allow your hostess to take up outside orders
However you choose to handle it remember to always be positive and reassure her that it is fine it is never a waste of your time. Make it about her, that you want her to have a party to get the awesome benefits, never make it about you and your check.
If you are not close to the hostess you could still handle it the same way or
1. you could also offer to reschedule
2. schedule private styling consultations with her guest list (let her know this will delay in getting the order)
When it happens to you personally it can be very discouraging, mainly because we don't have someone (stylist) supporting us and fixing it. We have to remember not to take it personally (easier said than done) here is how to help resolve this
1. Reach out to guest list by phone( not text) and just say you missed them at your event and kindly ask why they didn't come most of the time you will find they forgot
2. Offer to do private styling consultations
3. Offer to do a trunk show for the guest
Don't let poor showings at trunk shows discourage and defeat you!
