Last night 4 Sweet Tooth staffers attended the Tulsa Wedding Merchants meeting at Philbrook Museum. The gathering was attended by approximately 35-40 merchants in the Tulsa area whose businesses connect with people planning a wedding. We are talking about prospective brides, prospective grooms, moms of bride and groom as well as wedding planners.
Sweet Tooth has been a member of this group for a number of years. We are also participants at the Tulsa Wedding Show planned by expert Vicki Taylor and her staff each year in January and August. Most recently the show has been at the Renaissance Hotel.
Currently our staff member Jesse Wilson is serving as our primary consultant to those folks who are planning a Candy Buffet for their wedding, or for birthday and anniversary parties, corporate events, fundraisers, etc. Personalty and customer service are 2 of the outstanding qualifications required to work with our clients, along with creativity and the ability to visualize the Candy Buffet as it stands at an event.
All staff at Sweet Tooth are trained to take initial information from prospective Candy Buffet clients. And we are all good at it! It is our job to ferret out information on what the client is wanting, thinking and budgeting for the Candy Buffet. Armed with our information sheet, if Jesse isn't at work, we all begin the process of obtaining information so that Jesse can follow through with the client.
After 22 years in business, Candy Buffets have entered the scene and taken up a good part of our candy sales. We purchased gorgeous glass containers to rent for this purpose; we keep up to date on colors and styles and trends for this part of the candy industry. We advertise our service, particularly the fact that we are perhaps the only place in town where a client can actually see the candy we have available rather than ordering online or depending on another in-home business to do just that.
Our Candy Buffet brochure outlines the various services we offer: for Do It Yourself clients as well as full serve clients.
Being a part of the Tulsa Wedding Merchants has introduced us to all sorts of businesses and people who provide wedding services. Weddings are an important part of our economy, with some people spending at least $20,000.00 on a wedding and many spending more. Hotels, bridal shops, lighting companies, entertainers, photographers, novelty businesses, printers, caterers, bakeries, calligraphers, travel agents, rental businesses and of course, Sweet Tooth are working together to make every special occasion memorable.
