Interview With A Party Planner

We are interviewing Kathy Steed from Party Time Party Planners, located in Nederland, Texas. You can visit the Website at http://www.partytimetx.com

"Welcome Kathy!"

"I'm sure our readers would love to know why you got into this business."

"Two years ago, I did a Winnie-the-Pooh party for my son and after shopping at five locations, I still did not have everything I wanted. It was really frustrating and one of the reasons I went into this business."

"One of the most frequently asked questions must be, why use a party planner?"

"In our business, we can offer a savings on party supplies. We have vendors that are very competitive in the market. In a comparison with a party supplier in our area, our parties in a box can save an average of $30.00 for a party for 16."

"Wow, that sounds impressive! Are their other reasons?

"We also have the ability to have everything one would need with one phone call. We will have supplies, the cake, the favors, and the activities... we will also come out, set it up, run it, and clean it up. In our area, you cannot find all the party supplies in one store... sometimes you can go everywhere and still come up short."

"Are their more reasons to use a party planner rather than do the work yourself?"

"The other reasons are obvious and I believe you have addressed them. Time, energy, working families have very little time. Another factor is that sometimes you go through all of the trouble and energy to have a party and then are too busy during the party to stop and enjoy it. I guess one last reason to use a party planner, at least with our business, is that we can offer new things/ideas for a party."

"What area does your business serve?"

" So far, we are serving the five county area that we are near (Jefferson, Chambers, Hardin, Liberty, and Orange) We are setting up a network that will allow us to do more in other areas. WE DO SELL SUPPLIES AND PARTY IDEAS TO ANYONE WHO CONTACTS US."

"What types of parties do you plan?"

" We do all types of parties- from Children's Birthdays to Wedding Receptions to Corporate Events. We have plans for one year olds on up."

"Is there a certain kind of party that is the most challenging to plan?"

"One of the hardest parties is for mixed age groups, but we have ideas for those too."
