Ahh what a relief! After a month of interning I finally got
to tell the world what I’m doing. Their reactions were just what I expected.
When I show off the homepage to the new Mean Party website the first question I get
has been the same – “But what do you mean a ‘A lifestyle and events company’?” Most of my peers are college
students or recent grads and haven’t heard of a lifestyle management or
concierge company before. So then I go on with my usual example to help
explain. In case you are equally confused, allow me to explain. Trust me, I
would LOVE to. This has been bottled up for a month!
So say we have a client ask us to plan their wedding. This
obviously fits into the “events” of the company. We help plan their wedding and
through the process consider each other much more than just a business
relationship, we’re friends. The wedding day comes and it’s a blast for
everyone, just what the bride and groom wanted. But what about after the
wedding, like the new website and blog say – we don’t want the party to end.
What about all the gifts that need sorted and organized into
the married couple’s new home? What if they need help planning the honeymoon,
or packing for it? Who is going to house-sit while they are away? Or when they
get back and all their work at the office has built up to where they don’t have
time to restock the fridge after being away? Consider a couple years down the
road when their first newborn comes along. What if they need help designing the
baby’s room or planning a baby shower? Good thing Mean Party is still there.
That’s where the lifestyle
comes in. We help manage client’s crazy lives just like we manage a wedding
or event so you can enjoy the party. We can’t say this enough – life’s a party
and we want to help you enjoy it because we throw a Mean Party.
So there it is. That’s what I’ve been doing for the past
month. Preparing to launch Mean Party and tell the world what we want to do
from here on out. It feels so good to finally explain it.
Hey Jenny, it's Rob (in case you're not getting any message that this is from me). You told me about this in the pool Sunday, but I didn't really appreciate how creative and unique an idea this is until I read it written out here. Organizing gifts, honeymoons, babies' rooms, etc. are all things that seem to be done just as often as planning weddings and other big events, but nobody thinks about them. And maybe Charlotte will keep getting bigger and you might be able to have more people who will see the light with this stuff and track you guys down.
