Hey all, got something new going on here. Michelle and I are trying a new swing on the sales thing. We are going to be hosting several hot sauce parties at the house to try and get new buyers. Where the twist comes in is we are going to try to sign the ones who come to host their own party and we will bring all the samples…kind of like a Candlelite or Tupperware party. You recruit others to spread the word and get their own sauce parties together. You make it worth their while by giving them discounts or free stuff for their trouble. Networking at it’s finest. You get the gist.
So here is what I am asking. If you would like your company to be represented, send me samples I can put out for people to try. I don’t need a lot, just 1 bottle of what ever you want to be sampled. I will give reports on how things went and any feedback of how well the sauce did to anyone that asks. It’s only fair for the money you spend to make and ship the products. Also, if you have literature about your product I can use that too. As for sales, that will be handled through SNS or directly if you prefer.
Please email me with any questions…eric at locoluna.com

Hey all, give me some feedback on this idea. I have not heard from anyone.

Seems like it would have to be a vast variety of sauce samples to work. The idea NICE, VERY NICE!!
We will have about 30 to 40 samples of mostly bloggers products.
Great idea eman, good luck with it. You’ll be getting some THT stuff I”m sure!

I’m there Eric! Stuff went out today.
Hey eman sounds like an awesome idea. How could you beat it, a party with hot sauce tasting. Allmost like a wine tasting party. I am surprised this hasn’t been done before.
Well MrFreeze it kind-a has been done, indirectly. Twenty years ago,Bay Area,Fairmont Hotel. After a wine tasting we brought out all types of CHILE PEPPERS we could get our hands on, (quite the selection). I guess you can say that was close to a sauce tasting. We lit up San Fran that night and captured the Culinary World’s attention.
EMAN and MICHELLE, I’m sure you will turn a lot of heads!!
So far it looks like we are going to have a decent turnout. Ideas have really been clicking lately. One of the main focuses is to help all the manufactures here on the blog sell more sauces.
