So, I have found, if when I send an email enquiring about events im organising for my friends, if I subtly change my email signiture to say:
Thanks,
Ozle
Ozle Events
Not only do I tend to get really fast responses, but all kinds of better offers.
Just organised my friends birthday party at a Casino, saw the stated packed they had on offer, sent them an email with that signature (nothing in the body of the email about Ozle events at all) and all of a sudden my friend has a free bottle of champagne thrown in)
Its funny because originally it was an in joke between my friends and I because I organised everything and so they used to call them Ozle Events, then I left it on my email once when forwarding something to a company...
