To celebrate their rewards card member event in November 2023, Browns department store in York hired me to personalise perfumes and fragrances that were purchased on that day. It was their first time hiring an on-site event calligrapher, and I explained the process and what to expect to the cosmetics manager before the day to ensure that it would go smoothly.
It was a great event and customers were intrigued with what I was doing. I engraved on some testers during the first hour to provide customers a visual presentation. The sales assistants also informed the customers about complimentary engraving, and a few more people requested me to engrave names or short sentimental messages on their fragrances.
The queue management went well, and timings were communicated to the customers to avoid disappointment.
I think everyone was pleased and I will be back again in 2024 to personalise more perfumes!
