From what I have found If you give out glow sticks everybody goes mad and stay for longer.

I've thought about it for schools and kids birthdays, but never tried it.

"Give"

At £1 a piece you wont make much profit from a nights work .

We once tried making balloon animals for the under 5s who attend some wedding functions etc , but ! there was a never ending que of kids wanting one , trying to keep the music , dancing , requests going as well as those bl***y balloons

I've seen them advertised for as little as 30p each, and I'm quite sure, given a bit of time, I can get them cheaper, but it would have to be a bulk buy

Belive me you will make a hell of a lot and BTW they go for ~£2 - £3. If you think about this its £14 for a packet of 100 glow sticks if you sell em for £2 each you get £186. Which is quite a lot.

Also if you just throw they out free. People get excited and it livens the event. I only give out about 25 and I notice an impovement in the atmosphere the second i give them out!!

Wow! - this lad is good!, Hey 3rd gen!, if you ever get bored of D.J'ing - you can come and work for me!.

Mikeee - you've got competition here!.

Damn - Competition.

Perhaps 3G, could let us know his supplier????

Nice try Mikeee, but I don't think he'll fall for that!.

I can't give out my supplier because that wouldn't make me any money buy i can sell you them. About £15 a packet.

Bearing in mind that if you sell each one for £1. you make £85


A little piccy to whet your appitite

LOL - There you go Mikeee - sounds like a good deal to me

See post under "March Offers" LOL

Hmmmm think I've seen that picture on Ebay many many times, I give them out at ALL my kids parties, they are dirt cheap!!!

Amazing how all of these offers come crawling out of the woodwork - anyway give him a chance at selling some, jumping on his thread ain't nice, and Mikeee, you should know better

Hmm I think i need to shop around a bit

Which glow sticks are you talking about?
The 6" ones or the necklace ones??
There are so many out there

I am NOT going to give away anyone`s secrets. All I will say is...... enter "Glowstick", Glow Stick", and "Glo-Stick" in a decent search engine

I am talking about 8inch ones. I can get necklances for £5 for 10 so your still getting ripped off by £5.

Blimeeyy whats happened to this room...
Do you really need glow sticks????
You should be busy enough with your night, playing the right music...if it is the right music then they wont be going anywhere & you wont have to worry about keeping them in.

Boys & there toys!!!!

It's a boy thing Paula, us blokes have to have something to play with between tracks - well something that won't get us arrested

Yes it is a American site, but apparently they get cheaper the more you order......so Im TOLD

QUOTE

I only use them at kids parties, once again its the hook......... something that gets you remembered and more bookings rolling in.

PS Only give em out towards the end of the function otherwise the little cherubs throw them around and lose them and I only do it as they are eliminated from a game or something, that way every child only gets 1 (cost to a minimum) and also they don't mind being eliminated!

You've mis read it 3rd G - the price is PER TUBE OF 100 pcs so you pay $990 for 100 tubes of 100 sticks = 10000 Glowsticks for $990.

If you look at the price of $12.95 this is for a tube of 100 and works out at about £8.21 per 100. If you bought 50 packs x 100 = 5000 glowsticks you would pay $9.95 for each pack which works out at $497.50 or £315.00 which would work out at £6.30 per 100.

I found the company that supplies them! The person who supplies them is a mte of mine! SO IM GUNNA PROMOTE HIS BUSINESS!

I bet he could pee in the dark!

They taste horrible. I accidently bit one open !!

the cheapest way to do it is to offer it to your client as an extra - and charge them!!

Well I can see where you're coming from, but everybody loves something for nothing especially where kids are involved.

I'd rather offer them the bubble machine and snow machine as extras and throw in the glo sticks free

The original post was "Keep them In" - Have you tried locking the door - just a thought LOL

I cant beleive this topic is still active.....
Forget the glow sticks and do the job you specialise in......................
You are dj's/kj's Whatever!!! as posted previously you shouldnt have a problem if your playing the right tunes and you got the gift of the gab..
Failing that those that agree female dj's/kj's should be sweet and sexy should maybe get themselves a sexy female roadie to keep there crowds in....
