Corporate Gig – Fontaine Outpatient Center
Saturday, June 21st, 2014
These coporate gigs are nice, when they happen. We got bought out for the day by the Fontaine Outpatient Center in Harwich, MA. They had a grand “re-opening” picnic event where they basically coerced people to show up with free hamburgers/hot dogs, ice creams and kettle corn. The event ran for 3 hours.
They did a postcard mailing to around 20,000 people on Cape Cod. They were expecting about 300 people, but it’s almost impossible to make that amount of full size bags in 3 hours. Instead we cut the bags in half and made (300) 3 oz. bags (see the photo below). This worked out great because we got mostly older people coming by and a regular big bag would’ve been too much for them. They basically paid us ahead of time to make that amount – we just popped and gave away bags to anyone who wanted one. We hit it right on the money, when 4 o’clock rolled around we had a few bags on the table and a couple of employees grabbed that last few. We also got to stuff our faces with a bunch of hamburgers and ice creams bars for free. Not a bad gig when you can get them.
