406. DIY marquees and friendors


Listen Later

In this episode, we are talking about a marquee secret that might make you rethink everything. I'm talking with Jenna from Festive & Flair, and when she told me she made her own marquees, I fully assumed we were headed into DIY disposable territory. And then I went to her website and I zoomed way in and thought, there is no way she made these. I have to have her on the podcast.

Her marquees are lightweight, clean, reusable, professional-looking marquee letters made out of foam. Yes, foam… but not what you're thinking. And she is breaking down exactly how she does it, how much it costs and why it's one of the easiest upsells you can add to your business without dropping $15-20k upfront.

Plus, in the second half of this episode, we get into her "friendor" strategy (basically, networking done right) where she becomes a connector for the entire event and gets paid for it.

It's a fabulous episode that I think is going to give a lot of people a new option when it comes to bringing in marquees as part of your inventory.
