Being a student can be tough at times especially when you always seem to suffer from a chronic condition of cash shortage. If you've been looking around for good opportunities to earn some part time income while studying at college, and you want it to be both profitable and entertaining, then the lingerie party business might just be the perfect idea for you to earn some money and have tremendous fun in the process.
Everyone loves to attend a good lingerie party! If you find the idea of throwing one intimidating, just remember that it doesn't have to be a racy event that's only about dressing up in lingerie. Throw a college lingerie party with a theme. Thrown in this fashion, it becomes very similar to a costume party, except for the lingerie being one more element in the costume. Also it's more alluring to everyone as party concept since there's lingerie involved. For example, consider party themes like 'Wacky Lingerie Clowns', 'Rags to Riches' (A lingerie tale--where everyone can come dressed as anything from a chimney sweep to the Queen of England), 'Amazonian underwear Warriors', 'Knights and Ladies of the Lingerie Table' (Medieval theme), Roman Toga Lingerie party etc. Just use your imagination to come up with fantastic themes that would work well with lingerie.
Now it's time to get down to business. Look around and tie up with a lingerie company that's willing to provide lingerie for students. Since students are always going to be on a tight budget, you don't want to be showing them designer stuff. Make sure that the company has a range of inexpensive lingerie (things that you would buy yourself) along with any other low-cost items they might like to showcase like candles or lotions.
Once you've sent out your invites or posted your flyers it's time to prepare. You could either ask everyone to bring along one food item with them in the invitations or just arrange for the food yourself. Stock up on soft drinks and chips and snacks and decorate the venue simply. Since the focus of the party will be all the games and the fun you'll have, you don't have to spend a lot of time on the decorations. For example, you could make balloon bouquets for a clown party or hang up a lot of fake greenery for an Amazon theme. Just make sure that you have a table in a prominent place to display the lingerie that's on sale and you'll be all set.
If you get creative with your ideas, you'll have no shortage of people just dying to buy all that underwear! For example a simple thing that you could do is to a make a 'Magic Lingerie Wishing Well.' Make a big one out of construction paper (that's large enough for two or three to people to stand in) and line the bottom with black sheets. Give the whole thing a magical feel by decorating it with greenery and tinsel and a few bras and panties. Tell everyone that they can make a special wish that the lingerie fairy will grant them, by buying a piece of lingerie and throwing the money into the well. Just watch the money fly!
Play some hilarious games involving lingerie like 'Pin the panty' on Hugh Jackman or Kate Moss. (Get the appropriate posters beforehand) Hold a treasure hunt or have everyone vote on the costumes in different categories like the best costume, most notorious, most bizarre etc. Plan it well so that that everyone has an unforgettable time.
Once you've hosted one successful lingerie party, it'll become easier the second time around. The wonderful thing here is that you'll never be short of guests or repeat customers, once word gets around about your fantastic party. It's also good business practice to make sure that you get everyone's name and phone number. In case anyone seems interested in hosting a lingerie party just like yours, you could follow it up with them later. The advantage here is that you'll become very well known as a lingerie party host/organizer and since you'll be offering whoever's interested in having you organize their own lingerie party a percentage of all the sales made, everyone's happy! Both of you get to make money, and the company makes a lot of sales too.
The important thing is to have fun with it all. Growing a college lingerie party business can be quite exciting and in many ways the business will grow itself once you establish yourself as a wonderful party host. So give it a shot -- You might just surprise yourself with how enjoyable it is and discover a profitable part time business into the bargain!
How To Make Money College
Drop in at the Career Services Center Early And Often
Drop in as soon as you can to the Career Services Center. During your first visit, make an appointment to visit with a career counselor in a few days. After you've made your appointment, explore the resources available to you. To make sure you get the most out of your upcoming meeting with the career counselor, give yourself a few hours at least to familiarize yourself with the Career Service Center's reference materials.
What you should do during that first visit is to take any career assessment tests the center might offer. These tests will ask you about what you're good at, and what you want from a career. From the list of possible careers that the test suggests to you, see which of them appeal to you the most.
When you have your meeting with your career counselor, ask him or her about the path you're considering pursuing. Ask your career counselor how to land a job in the field or fields of your choice. The answer you get may help you determine the course of study you take in your classes. In addition, you should ask your career counselor to give you contact information for alumni who are now working in the fields you wish to work in after graduation. Also, ask about internship opportunities that will help you get a leg up on a high-paying career.
Do Internships
Internships, while often unpaid, sometimes offer course credit. The most useful thing about internships, though, is that they offer you an opportunity to build relationships with people working in the profession you've chosen for yourself. Another advantage of internships, of course, is that they provide you with some real-world experience that you can use to enhance your resume as well as your candidacy for jobs in the future. And though internship don't always work this way, sometimes a company will like what an intern does so much that they end up hiring him or her permanently.
Reach Out To Successful Alumni
Don't ask them for a job. Send an e-mail and explain they are doing what you would like to do one day. Ask if it would be all right to call or have lunch at some point so that you can find out how this person got to be in the position you'd like to be in one day. And who knows, if a job is open at his or her company when you've graduated, since you've already established the connection, your resume could move to the top of the pile.
