Trick or Treat - Halloween Networking?

by Jennifer Gniadecki on October 3rd, 2008

Halloween NetworkingIf you celebrate Halloween, you’re going to be wandering the town with your kids letting them run to doors and get some candy. Or you might be taking your kids to a town party where they have a safe, indoor Halloween environment for the kids to enjoy candy and games and music.

Either way, if you’re around other kids…you’re around other parents. That means you can network. The best part is on Halloween you don’t have to worry about small talk. Halloween costumes make for phenominal small talk. You can start by complimenting their kids’ costumes. Compliments go a long way to break the ice and this is an easy time to make that happen.

Take your kids, take a pillowcase for collected candy, but don’t forget to put business cards on your Halloween list of things to take out of the house!

    Never thought of that, Jen!

    My husband is ALWAYS criticizing me for not bringing cards to social events. I always say I won’t need them. Then I always do.

    Luckily, my husband always has a few in his wallet.

    Hmmm…maybe I stick a card on every piece of candy I dole out… Is that too much?
