an exclusive network of female movers & shakers

Now contracting clique mixer directors for all US & Canada Metro areas.

Welcome to the Clique Mixer team!
 

Hello there fabulous lady!

I want to say, first off, welcome to the CLIQUE MIXER site and the opportunity of being a Director! I am excited to have you look through this opportunity and look forward to the growth you will bring to your metro area by hosting a Clique Mixer as a potential Director. You are poised for great things if you keep this in mind: our job is to connect people (with style and flair of course!).

I have created a turn-key event production opportunity, that with your help as a Director, is poised for great financial success and media attention.

By partnering with an established and successful brand name, you will find that the doors will open much easier than if you embarked on this journey alone. Much like buying a known franchise, it’s easier to sell your product (the Clique Mixer) when you are linked to a name that stands for class and professionalism. I’ve worked hard on creating a brand that you can be proud of representing, and I will work even harder to take it to the next level so that you may grow and succeed.

 

My plans for Clique Mixer
As an investor in the success of Clique Mixer, you deserve to know my vision for the future of Clique Mixer. When I started the very first mixer in November 2008 in Portland, OR, my intent was to have a fun girls night out and a break from being a new mommy – I had my first child in September 2008, Kyle Kane (the first Clique Baby! J).

Now, I see this turn-key event production concept as a vehicle for motivated women like me around the country to build their own reputations within their communities as well as bring in extra income for the family.

My dream would be to have a Clique Mixer being hosted every night of the week in some part of the country! I don’t know about Friday and Saturday nights since we are built on the concept of helping venues bring in customers on “off” nights, but you know what I mean! J

Also, using my extensive media and pr background, I will be securing media partnerships and press around the country as more Clique Directors are hired. I will make sure every media outlet will know about this amazing entrepreneurial opportunity sweeping the country.  I’ll be sure to keep you in the loop with our growth – and I say “our” because it is OURS! J

With your motivation and creativity, the sky is the limit!

As a Clique Mixer Director, you are joining a well branded networking organization committed to helping business owners reach potential customers by hosting intimate and cost effective mixers.

You are creating and strengthening your personal brand identity as well as building a long lasting network of business women and consumers in your community.

 

 

You are apart of something that is going to be big!

• This is the first ever mixer of it’s kind to branch out across the country.
• The press received will reflect on you as well, and in turn you can use to promote your event.
• We all strengthen each other – as we each host amazing mixers, we in turn are showing the rest of the country how it’s done and making our other teammates look great.

 

FAQ's

Do I have to pay for the venue and where should I host a mixer?
No Way! You are offering a valuable service to a business. Since you offer the event on an “off” night for the business, you are offering to bring people in and market their business for no money. Most promoters would charge the business. I say it like this when proposing the opportunity… “Do you have any off nights that you are needing more potential customers in your door?” most likely they say yes, then you say “I’m a Clique Mixer Director and I host events that will do just that for you, and I won’t charge you a penny.” They are usually VERY interested at this point, then you point them to the website, which is where your monthly fee really goes into play. They see the fresh, well-branded and professional website and information, pictures, etc. This will seal the deal for you.
I like to target the following venues to host a mixer:
*spa
*lounge
*condo's that need traffic - real estate promoters are needing traffic BAD!
*honestly anywhere you can throw a good party!

What about music?
I decided to partner with a local DJ that was HUNGRY for promotion. So he does our mixers for free, and I promote him like crazy as our "DJ".

What money do I need to put out?
As a business owner, it’s really up to you. But, I can tell you that in the beginning, you just need to pay for gas. Be resourceful and harness the opportunities you have to offer businesses. For instance, the goodie bags…you don’t buy them, you offer a business the opportunity to provide them at no charge to them in exchange for their logo on your website (which I make for you and provide) and the opportunity to market to your mixer attendees. 9 times out of 10, someone will jump at this chance. I recommend going after businesses like insurance, mortgage, real estate, etc for the bags. They have a surplus of promotional materials and especially right now are looking for a way to reach people in creative and cheap ways, which you offer.

What type of booths should we have?
I recommend that the service and product related booths outnumber your educational/solicitation booths 5 to 1. You don’t want your mixer being known as a mini trade show. Ladies are showing up to shop, drink and mingle…they don’t want to be hassled.

What types of 'extras' do you add?
It's all about the experience, and including as many businesses as possible. And, with more businesses involved, the more built-in attendees you have!
I love to partner with local lounges/wineries to add complimentary wine/beer/champagne - never liquor. Be sure to have a state certified alcohol server on hand to serve. Check your local Liquor/Beer control commission.
<-- Complimentary Champagne by a local lounge. The provided the gentleman to serve the champagne. I did not charge them to solicit at our event as they were added value to our guests.
