    I've been to it! When I was really into doing the stripper store thing. It was pretty cool. My only problem was that I went out every night and could not wake up before noon! Big surprise right?

    Swing by Hot Sauce and see about putting them on your site! I think you would make a lot of money from SW'ers if you carried them, esp a bit cheaper than their retail site. Their retail is site is much more expensive than their price points in stores or other sites and they are seriously popular.

    Make sure you bring some business cards b/c EVERYONE will ask you for one.

    I'll be there for the lingerie convention. My friend sells costumes at the clubs around here and I help her out and asked me to join her. It's my first time in Vegas and I'm super excited!

    Gonna PM you Bridgette.

    I've been to this thing many times; I just go now mostly to schmooze with vendors and check out potential new stuff, get the latest catalogs, etc. And of course have some fun!

    Rose, I have talked with Hot Sauce people a few times and they always flake out on sending me CDs for website, so I figure if they're that bad about just signing me up to sell for them, they'll probably be worse about shipping my orders, so I haven't bothered to try anymore. I like to deal with vendors who actually SHIP stuff Besides, since HS sells on their own retail website, they're probably not so interested in wholesaling to other online stores...

    I always bring lots of biz cards and have already planned to get some new ones made for this on the double!! Can't EVER have too many for this

    My fave part of the whole thing is the fashion show - lots of scantily-clad hotties plus free booze and food = I'm havin' a good damn time


    I will be in town Sep30 - Oct4. Tina, I'll see you there of course! We gotta get a good table for the show


    FH: As for the one in Feb, I think you're talking about the MAGIC show. Ugh, worst strip club customers EVER

    Actually I just changed my flight because I had another trip booked for Oct 5 to Oakland - so I changed to fly straight from LV to Oakland on the 5th. Flight leaves at 5:25pm on Fri, Oct 5


    Rose, get your boy to come with or just send your ass to LV!! HAHAHA

    I'm off work from Sept 24th to Oct 15th, so I plan to get into Vegas Monday morning and leave Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

    Last convention we drove 30 hours straight to the show, got there Monday morning, got a room and went straight to the show. I was soooo tired.

    This trip I have a week off before the show so I'll be well rested. Hope to meet some new faces there.

    This show is hard work, because we do in club sales (website to come) and we place orders and buy merchandise from vendors who will sell samples and stock at the show. We stock merchandise, usually 200+ outfits, plus thongs and shoes, so we work hard making sure the right stuff (hopefully) gets ordered.

    Latina Rose, many people who have stripperwear websites don't actually stock merchandise. They sign up with companies who will drop ship. You place an order with a merchant like us or Bridgette from a catalog or website, we call in the order, they bill our credit card on file, charge a drop ship fee of $5 to ship to our customer, and ship the products directly from the factory to the customer. That's how companies like Snaz 75 work too. They have no inventory.

    Most shoe companies will drop ship, as they know no merchant can viably carry all of their items in various sizes. Many clothing companies WILL NOT drop ship. Probably only 1/4 of all the clothing vendors will drop ship. Many companies such as Hot Sauce have a minimum order. They are $300 wholesale. $300 is a lot to spend on some brands that may not sell well, and for brands we move fast, $1000 is nothing.

    Since I do club sales, I carry stock, and stock brands that do not drop ship, in my inventory.

    Latina Rose, if you are going to dance again, PM me with some item descriptions of costumes you like, and the retail prices you would have to pay to get the items, and I would possibly be willing to order them at the show and ship them to you at less than what you would pay.

    Thanks Tina, that is really sweet of you. I know how the biz works, I used to do club sales and I have a retail stripper site I just want to sell. It was just too much for me to keep up with being out of the country so much unfortunately. I actually have Hot Sauces latest catalog lying around somewhere. They actually recently changed it to NO order minimum, which I found rather surprising. Probably to increase sales to online vendors. I can see why B does not want to carry them, shes worked to hard to build up her rep as a quick shipper!

    Tina, those small town girls must love it when you roll into town!

    I do have quite a few good "regular" customers. We've brought fashion to the boonies. Of course you know the girls with the dingy costumes who really should buy, are the ones who don't. LOL.

    I think there are already too many people doing it! I didn't have enough dedication for it to work for me, but from what I saw, it is not an easy business and can be just as unstable as dancing. More so.

    Agreed, especially the part that it's NOT easy. I mean shit, we're talking about dealing with a bunch of instant-gratification-seeking, demanding-as-hell strippers LOL!! (Sometimes it amazes me how many people seem to think that pressing the BUY button means their stuff will just magically appear at their door the next day. Hello, it takes people to make, package and ship the stuff, plus transit time! Oy) Not to mention all the work involved with building and maintaining a website that actually makes money. I do like it, but it's SO not easy. I look forward to moving to Vegas in a few weeks and expanding the biz into brick and mortar as well, but damn it's not easy work.

    Everyone wants to sell clothes though because they think it's soooo easy and strippers will spend endless money on outfits and it takes no time to get up and running. SO not true! There are so many factors to deal with, from customers to vendors, website building, promoting and maintenance - oh and let's not forget credit card processing issues and fighting bogus chargebacks And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I literally spent almost every waking hour for MONTHS just putting shit together, and I get NO break from it even on vacation because those orders always have to be processed! Even if I hired someone to do most of what I do now, I'd never get a break because there are so many banking issues I'd still have to deal with myself.

    I am not complaining here, but it annoys me when more and more people run out to start selling clothes when they have NO clue what's really involved. IMO, these are the people who give the industry as a whole a bad name, because they jump the gun and then find out it's alot of real work, can't handle it and quit, leaving people hanging.


    It is pretty stable for me, but that's because I put a fucking LOT of work into it. Same deal as running any other business - it takes tons more work than doing a regular job.

    I think a store in Vegas would be extremely successful for you. You could push the site through the store and the store through the site. Might as well make money from all angles of the biz right? Plus it would totally make the online thing a bit easier, although its a whole 'nother area of business you'll have to deal with overall (ugh, employees) Do you have a myspace page for your site? You really should, its free marketing and your biggest competitors are all on there, so you should be too. Let me know if you want some help with it, I'd be happy to make one for you.

    I would also get some small 3x5" postcards printed up for your site when you move there. Work in as many clubs as you can and slip one into each locker in every dressing room. My bf does advertising/marketing and said doing that, you should get a 10-20% retention rate, meaning you hit 1000 lockers, you should get at least 100 new customers. Bf is really knowledgeable on this kinda stuff, we can take this to PM if you want some more ideas to increase revenue.

    I was TOTALLY thinking of leaving cards in all the dressing rooms I do that everywhere I go. I'd never think of putting them in lockers though - I just leave a stack on the counters for those who are interested. Maybe I should do both in LV though, so many girls don't have lockers.

    The plan is to get warehouse space and stock inventory for my site, and put a storefront in front. And of course cross-promote both.

    I'm seriously thinking of going back in October instead of November. The earlier the better. SO over Atlanta.
