1. The Dating Show Live

   Posted on 12:00pm Tuesday 25th Sep 2018

   I'm a blogging machine at the moment!

   I just thought I'd let you know about my recent exchange with The Dating Show live, so you can learn more about my values and goals as a company,

   I received this email from them:

   Hello there,
   
   I am trying to reach out to see if our upcoming event is of interest to you? 
   
   Exclusively featuring First Dates who will be running a Cafe over the two days, 24th/25th November 2018, we are the largest and first of this size in the world when it comes to dating events, at an expected footfall of 10'000 singles hoping to meet and mingle over the two days at the Birmingham NEC. 
   
   We have the fantastic Hilton Hotels,Hasbro Games, Capital Radio, Love Hearts, Mr Tinder (the most right swiped guy in the UK!),Melinda Messenger, and a lot of unique businesses from a hemp company, to up and coming makeup brands etc on board, we are keen to ensure there is also not numerous stands exhibiting similar products or services to each other. 
   
   
   We also have a couple of big dating/relationship/fashion/lifestyle bloggers, authors also are involved, which is fantastic in terms of promotion through social media!
   
   Please do get back to me if you wished to have a chat about the event and it possibly being of a good fit for you and Jo Thornton?

   Best Wishes,

    

   It sounds like fun doesn't it, and great for people who want to get out there and meet new people.  I'm certainly very intrigued by Mr Tinder.  Does he just go on non-stop dates?! 

    

   Still, it's not the right fit for me and what I am trying to achieve for my little shop.  This was my reply:

   Hi

   Thank you very much for your email and your interest in my little store.

   I don't think that it's the best move for me and the women at your event, even though commercially it is I'm sure!  I just don't like to place my products somewhere that implies that women need them to achieve dates/be attractive.  I prefer to market them for women's own confidence in themselves independently, balancing uneven breasts, filling out clothes that no longer fit, for use with post breastfeeding and mastectomy needs etc.   Of course many women want to wear them for first dates, to improve their confidence, but I don't personally feel comfortable marketing them somewhere that implies that I feel all women should wear them for a first date.  

    

   Again, thank you for the email and I wish the show all the best :)

    

   I'm not sure if they will understand, but hopefully they will.  I'm sure they have plenty of other stores that are very excited to be invited and many others they can approach.   It's lovely as a very small store to be contacted about these things, but until it's a show that is exclusively about the various elements of women's confidence and life experiences, it will always be a "thank you so much but no thank you" from me.

    

   

    

   If you are single and ready to mingle though, head to Birmingham in November!

   They are the first draft and I hope to shoot some new video footage for them, but you can see all my new breast enhancer videos now on my You Tube channel.

   

    

   I'll also add them to their respective product pages in my shop.  

   I hope they help, but as always, if you have any questions just send me an email or message.

   I was so impressed by the emotion in this video that I thought I would share.  I love anyone who has the passion to speak up about what they feel, believe in and have experienced.

   Go Anne.
