Hello, I'm Cheryl Jacobs and welcome to Kids Party Characters podcast. Thanks for tuning in and make sure you
subscribe to our iTunes station at Kids Party Characters. Today's podcast is going to be about booking disasters.
Often, I get women who call me who complain about other companies that they have booked before and what they order
is not what they were expecting to receive. One of the stories is from this woman, this sweet little Jewish woman
Tami who I am still friends with today. She books us every Hanukkah, every special event at Temple and all through
the year, and her story goes as follows. She says, not only did the costumes that the other company was sending them l
look scary and cheap, but what really did it for her was when she ordered Princess Elsa from Frozen, and what she got
was a girl who was maybe 16 years old, dressed in a summer dress with a long Rapunzel, a cheap, long Rapunzel wig.
I mean, when she contacted the company they said, "Well, Elsa is new and that's all we could come up with." Well, if
you don't have the character, don't send something out that's makeshift because this company is not about just the
money, it's about the children. At the bottom line, it's about the children and it's about making memories for the
children, and that's what it should be about.
Then, another story another woman told me that will probably resonate with me for the rest of my life is, she ordered
a Spiderman for her son's third birthday. It was his idol, and she was so excited to give him this gift for his birthday,
and the day of the party when she hears a knock on the door, she's excited, the kids are all excited, they run to the door.
She opens the door and what she gets is a man almost 50 years old with a beer gut and no mask and a red painted face.
Obviously, even though these kids are only the precious age of three, they still knew this was not the real Spiderman,
and what do you tell your kid, that Spiderman's older now and he drinks a lot of beer? I mean, come on. Really?
That's horrible.
Just, do your homework. Don't just get caught up in the emotion, because I know you want to give your child a special
day for his birthday or whatever the event is, but make sure you know what you're getting. You know, my company,
I've done my research. I've found beautifully handmade costumes. You will see all the exact photos of our costume on
our website, kidspartycharacters.com, and there's party pictures there. You're going to see, I have tons of references as
well.
Also, if running your own children's entertainment company is something that you would like to do, I have created a
membership site, so if you go to the website kidspartycharacters.com, click on members to learn more. I will teach
you from start to up and running how to run your own children's entertainment company, which will give you financial
freedom and you'll be able to run it through your home and spend more time with your family. No more commuting. I
would like to thank you, again, from the bottom of my heart. I'm Cheryl Jacobs, and thank you for listening and I'll talk
to you soon.
