Shoe Parties -- How do they work?

Want to know how a shoe party works? You've come to the right place. Follow along below and you'll be well on your way to earning FREE shoes!!

1. Contact your rep and book a show. Don't know who your rep is? Email info@myshoeshoppe.com

2. Get ready to party. You'll get a hostess packet prior to your party and then it's time to get the word out: send invites and emails, post flyers ... whatever works for you. Your postcard invites will look something like this:

3. Party Set up. About 30 minutes prior to your start time, your representative will show and the fun will begin. She'll have shoes to set up for your guests try on, as well as samples from our accessory line of designer footpads, by Footpetals. Check out our Spring Preview.

4. Party Time. Now, you wait for your guests to arrive and have fun trying everything on. Great friends and great shoes make for a great girls' night out, or in.

5. Place Orders. Once your guests find the shoes they can't live without, they place orders with your representative.

6. Get your FREE stuff!! Once the party winds down, you place your order of stuff you can't live without and redeem your hostess benefits, which are awesome!

7. Go shopping and get a pedicure! OK, this one is totally optional (and is the step that gets us in trouble with husbands) but we can't help it. Our customers tend to buy new outfits to go with their new shoes, and make sure their toes are just as cute!

8. Make a date. You'd think this step would also get us in trouble with husbands, but no. Once your shoes arrive (policy is 10-14 business days, but most arrive within a week), and you strut your stuff (and receive lots of compliments) while delivering shoes to your friends (and see all the cute shoes THEY got), he'll want to show you off. Date time!!

That's it! You're done ... unless of course, you're already looking forward to your NEXT shoe party, in which case you can add:

9. Repeat!

Spring Preview!!

Well, spring is just around the corner, and we've already had a flood of requests for a sneak peek at what's coming. So, here are some of our favorite spring styles --

Intro: This one is sure to get attention ... platform, open side, and a fun patterned wedge to boot, er ... wedge. Also available in white.Nearly: You can't beat a comfortable flip flop. This year's winner comes to us from Soda.

Amar: This multi-colored sandal is great for jeans, skirts, shorts, capris ... casual or dressy. It's 2-inch heel is a great height and makes it an "all-day shoe." Also available in yellow-orange multi.

Talent: Back by popular demand ... this spring wedge will continue to have everyone talking. And if you wore yours out last year, come get a new pair. Also available in brown and orange.

Cold-9: Not everything has to be open toe. Have a toe aversion? This wedge is for you.

Abox: Can't get enough animal print? Try it in pink. It's a great way to get the print, and wear it with your favorite spring look

Michelle-3: A great platform wedge is a must have! This one has a classic shape with a twist and looks great on everyone.

Spring boots: Watch for a fun, fashionable trend ... spring boots. These boots will look great and keep your warm and dry on those drizzly days.

There's more to come ... comfortable and colorful flats, more spring sandals, wedges, peep toes, pumps, sneakers, even more spring boots. Watch for our spring line in March and April.
