Good morning, Mrs. Shelly here are some question I have about purchasing the Miss Metairie and the Miss Jefferson Parish Beauty Pageants.
1. How do you feel about someone being a mom of 3 and working?
Should I be concern with how much time and devotion this would take? (which I’m not because I ready to put in time but just want to ensure I’m not getting in over my head, maybe my expectation of how things operate is not in full perspective.
I would do work on line an hour in the morning and an hour or half hour at night after my son went to bed. The internet is a POWERFUL tool and I do less leg work since we have it. Working pageants is a blessing when you have children because YOU do it at your convenience.
It takes about three months to prepare for your pageant. Follow my directors KIT and you will be prepared.
2. What’s the average amount of contestant participation? Im pretty sure the pageant names draw compeititors.
The average amount is 40 contestants in all the age divisions.This will generate about $2,000.00 in profit. The ideal amount for a nice profit of $3,000.00 is 50 contestants. 60 contestants will get you about $4,000.00 in profit. You will also make money at the door and on ad sales and selling of program books.
Invite dance schools to perform during the event and allow the dancers to enter free and two chaperone’s. They will tell their family and the family will pay at the door. The more you net work, the more money you make.
Before the storm, I made $6,000.00 in profit on $50 contestants. So the more you advertise and get family and friends and sponsors involved, the more money you will make.
Give your sponsors a full page ad in the program book and you can put fliers out in their business and they can donate prizes such as tanning gift certificates, flowers from a florist, jewelry, restaurants etc.
Another way to make extra money during your pageant is have a peoples Choice Award. I give a Rhinestone Crown to the winner. The audience pays to enter their favorite contestant in the drawing. The more chances paid, the higher the chance of their contestant winning. You can make an extra $500 on this.
This weekend is the Miss Lafayette Pageant and the director has already 60 children, That is a good sign for the economy.
3.
How much money can I look to push out for this investment?
4. How soon or you looking to sell and what would be the next step moving forward as far as I submitting payment?
I have Video of past pageants, poster boards from previous years to show the history of the pageants. Vinyl Banners and Signs. Score Sheets and other promotional items to hand over to you along with the Complete Director’s Kit and legal Certificates from the secretary of states office of the Trade Names for both the Miss Jefferson Parish and Miss Metairie Pageants.
I am looking to sell in the month of May, 2011.
Im not too concerned with where to get things from like crowns, venues, set up equipment. I know you can help with that.
Thanks a lot cant wait to hear back from you.
I am looking forward to working with you and assisting you in establishing your directorship in the pageant Industry.
