Okay, here I go again. I'm going to turn things around and approach this discussion thread
from a reverse angle. Instead of starting with a product (or products) I'm going to start by setting up a
situation, and see what you others suggest.
With Spring comes the advent of the convention and trade
show circuit for me. This of course presents me with a primo opportunity to put 'mones to the test with a bunch of
new people in a semi-closed environment (and I'll probably not see those people again for at least another year if
at all). How can I possibly resist such a chance?
Here's the typical situation: these
conventions and shows usually span about 3 days (well maybe 2 1/2). About 9 to 10AM till around 3 to 4 PM it's
seminars and cruising the show floors. From 4PM on it's special presentations and the beginnings of "social hours"
(although some conventions I've attended are nearly 24 hour/day things, the "after main hours" happenings are as
much "social" time as "business" time).
Now, being a red-blooded guy it sure would be nice, to say,
make some new friends in more than one sense of the term.
Given that the "effective" life
of most 'mone products is about 5 hours I figure I'll be re-applying/renewing whatever I'm wearing at least
twice, which also gives me the opportunity to follow what I would call a multi-stage "escalation" approach. (PS
Perception is an exception with an 8-12 hour life, but unfortunatley it's not doing a thing for me...).
I'm
thinking maybe starting the day with a decent dose of SOE or maybe WAGG, then as the day wears on and attendies'
thoughts turn to "evening activities", sneaking in a touch of NPA or the like (or even a completely different
product). And maybe as night approaches, really spicing it up.
Now for the selfish side of me, of course I'd
like it to work for *me*, so bear in mind I'm hovering around 50 y/o (male). (Yes, suggestions for the younger set
can be included here too..). Attendies at these things can range from 18 to over 60 y/o.
So put on the thinking
caps and let's see what develops!
Of course follow-up field-test reports will be posted. Depending on
how long it takes me to recover...
