While everyone, to some degree, has work/life balance issues, as a woman I tend to gravitate towards the female perspective. As part of my research, I’ve been spending a lot of time on Twitter as late and have gotten to learn a bit more about a Chicagoland local entrepreneur from the western suburbs, Phyllis Pometta.

Phyllis’s company, Baby Swags,(www.babyswags.com), is a self-run niche Public Relations firm catering to stay-at-home-moms (SAHM’s) who want to start their own businesses bringing a product onto the market, without large PR-firm prices. As both a successful and creative business woman, a wife, AND a mom to 3 kids, I was intrigued by her background and her business, and thought it a unique and interesting way to truly attempt work-life balance. Phyllis was kind enough to let me interview her, and provide some insights into her unique and crazy world:

With each celebrity gifting option, there are different types, styles and costs to be involved, along with different results you can expect. It is best to do your homework and be sure you are comfortable with the company you are working with, this type of marketing campaign, and results you can expect before you even put your foot in the door.

Swag Bags: Swag Bags can generally be the least costly way to send celebrities your product, ranging anywhere from $50 to $800 for each gift bag promotion. A swag bag will typically consist of merchandise that is distributed to celebrities, musicians, media, or other high profile members of society and corporate America. You may be familiar with the Swag Bags given to celebrities for the Oscars, The Emmys, ESPY awards and many other celebrity awards ceremonies. Swag bags can be sent to one celebrity or a group of celebrities for many different occasions, so it is best to know the theme and the quantity of products needed before you agree to any gift bag promotion.

Gift Suites or Lounges: Usually with this option, the cost to be involved is in the thousands and number of products requested are in the hundreds. However, gift suites give you direct access to the invited celebrities, agents, stylists and media. Most are set up like trade shows. You will receive your table and draping, chairs, and will be allowed to have two representatives at your booth. You design your gift suite spot as you would your trade show booth with attractive displays, catchy signage and a charming personality behind the table. Be prepared to take your own pictures so don’t forget your camera!

Results: Swag Bags and Gift Suites are to be used as a form of marketing and advertising. People should not go into participating in luxury lounges or donating products to gift bags and expect many immediate returns. You should consider it to be part of you’re advertising campaign. Just like any other form of advertising, it takes time, patience, quality products or services, persistance and determination to promote your business. Some times advertising campaigns are an over night success, others take more time, some unfortunately don’t work at all. You need to find what works best for you and your company. While not all celebrities respond to gifts received, others will provide you with a quote, thank you note, or other communication that provides you with another way to gain coverage and credibility for your product or service.

“It takes a very steady hand and a good eye for detail to prep the walls for the final stage before painting can begin” states an ASG Drywall Finishing representative. “The biggest piece of advice I can provide homeowners? Leave the detail work to trained professionals otherwise you can create extra work and it could cost you more in the long run to fix the new problems.”

ASG Drywall Finishing prides itself on excellent customer sevice, communication, and the ability to turn out a good finished product. “It is our job to provide customers with hand finished, seamless walls that are ready to be painted. We have provided our services to many home owners and small businesses over the years and we look forward to making many more home owners and business owners happy!”

Some projects completed have included services such as finishing a custom built dry-walled entertainment center, and special decorative ceilings. ASG Drywall Finishing takes pride in every job they do, providing the utmost professionalism and skill and treating every customer like they are their only customer. The drywall finishing process is just as important as drywall hanging. If the hanging is not done properly, it only leads to more complex work of the drywall taper/finisher. To be a skilled drywall finisher, it requires you to have excellent use of eye-hand coordination, manual dexterity using complex taping tools, the knowledge of different raw materials and the commitment to all safety and health standards. A typical taping job will take on average 3 to 4 days to complete.

Residential customers would include those seeking finished basements, renovations, finished garages, and subcontracted new construction. Commercial customers would consist of those seeking office build outs, new and/or existing projects, retail and service shops, and those commercial jobs that are in need of subcontracted companies for drywall taping/finishing.
