Q: How do I find people to invite to events? What if I run out of friends to invite to my events?

A: We’ll provide you with training documents to help you start to identify prospective customers. Aside from reaching out to friends and family, it's great to connect with local organizations and communities within your city. You will quickly see that you know more people than you think and there’s no shortage of people that you can tell about your Alice’s Table events!

Q: What do I do once my event is approved?

A: Promote, promote, promote! Create a marketing plan with the venue to market the event, with the assistance of the marketing checklist we provide. You and the venue are equal partners in marketing the event: you want more people to come to boost your revenue, and they want more people to come to generate revenue for their restaurant/bar. It’s a win/win situation, so responsibilities are to be shared. Our training program provides a detailed guidance on marketing best practices.

Q: How do I ensure ticket sales?

A: Use social media, your network of family and friends, and the venue to market you event! Additionally, we are happy to promote your Facebook events for you. There is a $5 service fee included for this option.

Q: How do I order flowers?

A: Each Event Exec purchases flowers through a local wholesaler or by using our company’s wholesaler. If you are hesitant about finding a wholesaler we recommend you use ours, which will provide you with quality flowers drop shipped to your door the day before your event.

Q: How do I find a good wholesaler?

A: Use Google to find local wholesalers in your area and to go for a visit to preview their products.Tell them about your business and how they can help you! We provide guidelines on pricing to assist you in the process. Once you have a location you think is a good fit, send it to our team and we can share our thoughts.

Q: How do I find flower recipes for each event?

A: We provide our Exec’s with a wide variety of seasonal recipes to choose from. Each recipe includes complete arranging and care instructions, along with a full-length training video.

Q: Can I create my own flower recipes?

A: Yes, but Alice’s Table HQ will review the recipe to ensure it’s an optimal recipe for your event before placing the order.

Q: How much space will I need to store my supplies?

A: You will need a place to store your aprons, clippers, vases and other materials. A small section in your garage or basement is perfect. You will also need a cool dark place to store the flowers before you take them to the event.
