As a director, you may be given the opportunity to become a state or local director for a franchise pageant. Congratulations. You are noticed and accepted. Wow! You may or may not choose to be a part of this pageant arena. But, if you are do, what a wonderful opportunity awaites you. My journey as a franchise director came to me in 2001 for the Mrs Louisiana United States Director for Louisiana. This was such an awarding year for me and my pageant business. I became state director for teen & Ms also. I traveled to Las vegas where the national pageants was held for several years and have seen such passion and triumph for the ladies and their families. I also became a franchise director for Miss Plus America pageant Systems for Louisiana and My mrs Louisiana became Mrs Plus America. This year we continue our success as we strive for excellence using the visability of the CROWN and banner.

I got a call from a New pageant director In Oklahoma being confused about what he paid for for $49.95 and thinking that he had to pay an additional $199 for more info. Well, when I read this, I called right away to discuss the miss understanding. he downloaded the FREE E BOOK that we posted 8 months ago advertising the Complete Directors Kit for $199 that we did sell for two months at that price. When out strong economy went into this current recession, My staff and I agreed to lower the price to $49.95.
What ever we post on the world wide web. STAYS FOREVER. So please always go to the source like these folks did by contacting me.
Yours In Pageantry,

Tiffany Dufrene from Louisiana wrote me asking how to get sponsors for her pageant? I suggest going to local businesses and ask if they would be interested in being an Official Sponosr for your pageant. You can offer them a full or half page ad in the program book for in exchange of gifts donated to your winners.
Try a local florist, they can sponsor the bouquet’s for the winners in exchange for being the Official Florist!
Try a favorite restaurant to host your judges luncheon for in exchange of an ad.
Try a jeweler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Try beauty salons, tanning, nails, gift shops and photographers. All these businesses would be delighted to donate something in exchange for advertisement that markets a new crowd.
As a director you should have a sponsor letter that you can type the contestants name on it and they can take it around to family and friends to help raise their entry fees for your pageant.
Go to my www.shellyspageantexpress.com and visit the sponsor page for more ideas that can advertise on your website!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Pageanting,
