The Hip Event

Guide to Intern Pride

The Hip Event — Wed, 16 May 2012 20:34:05 +0000

Hello all! It’s Danielle – I am one of the new interns for the summer here at The Hip Event. It’s my first week and I have already been given lots to do! It is very exciting to be given different tasks and trusted, not many first time interns can say that they have or will have the experience that I am getting. At first, things were confusing and sometimes I didn’t know exactly what I was doing, however, the rest of the team here at The Hip Event made sure that I was kept on track.

One main quality that I would advise any intern to do would be to ask questions, the more you ask, the more you will know. Doing an internship is supposed to be a learning experience; asking questions, doing what your told to do, and listening to everything that is said will allow you to absorb all of the knowledge around you and get you much farther in the work force.

This is a career that I have been concentrating on for the past few years at college and being able to get hands on experience is something that is important to me. I am now on my way to making my dreams become reality.

Meeting new people and experiencing things that I have never come into contact with is something that I look forward to encountering here at The Hip Event.

The Little Things Matter!

The Hip Event — Fri, 04 May 2012 14:00:19 +0000

Hey everyone. I hope you are all enjoying these tips just as much as I am.
This week I’m going to talk about being professional, but in the ways you wouldn’t normally think of.
Being on time: We all hate that alarm clock that wakes us up from our perfect dream of us marrying your celebrity crush and driving away in a Lamborghini (okay at least those are my dreams) but being on time is so important. You never know who will be in the office when you get there, and if you stroll in late it not only makes YOU look irresponsible, but it makes the company you’re interning for look bad as well.
A little key, if you know you are always a few minutes late (which still is unacceptable!) try setting your alarm clock a few minutes earlier so you can have those extra needed minutes!
Eye contact: No matter if you’re talking to your boss, another co-worker, or a guest of the office, eye contact is super important! Why you may ask? Eye contact shows the other person you have their full attention and that you are listening to what they are saying. It’s rude to be texting or looking out the window when someone is trying to speak to you! Remember that!
Shaking hands: Shaking someone’s hand when meeting them is so important, especially in this industry! Shaking someones hand shows them that you respect them. More importantly is that you are giving a firm grip! No one wants to shake a non confident “wimpy” hand shake! Be confident as you shake their hand!
Leaving the office as you left it: Hey, we all eat, drink coffee, and use scrap papers throughout the entire day, however it is not okay to leave your scraps on the desk! If you are going to eat, or drink something make sure you throw it away before leaving the office. Make sure it looks the same way as it did when you entered that morning!
Hope you enjoyed this weeks HIP TIP!
-Marisa xoxo

Best of The Best: New Jersey is Charmed

The Hip Event — Thu, 03 May 2012 17:32:08 +0000

Published in the May 2012 issue

George Press Fine Jewelers of Livingston, NJ, specializes in bridal collections, couture jewelry and timepieces. But it was George’s custom design prowess that was showcased with the New Jersey Has Charm contest last year. When George and Cheryl Press meet with their PR firm, the Hip Event of New Jersey, creative ideas often ensue. During one such brainstorming session, their PR specialists suggested the charm contest.

THE IDEA

WEARABLE SYMBOL • In addition to showcasing the jeweler’s custom design service, the contest theme, “New Jersey has Charm,” was intended to inspire people to create a wearable symbol of what they love about New Jersey. Entrants were invited to submit charm designs in a readable format — jpeg or PDF — that represent New Jersey in a positive light. The top five designs were to be posted to Facebook for voting, which would influence the final decision. The winner would have his or her design made into a piece of jewelry. Cheryl Press particularly liked the idea of putting a positive spin on her state because when she travels to trade shows she finds herself defending New Jersey against stereotypes perpetuated on TV — in everything from The Sopranos to Jersey Shore.

THE EXECUTION

ONLINE CONTEST • The Hip Event drafted the contest rules, which were posted on the George Press website. Entries were diverse and depicted everything from a tomato (for the Garden State), to a Ferris wheel and seashells to represent the Jersey shore.

Facebook fans voted on finalists, but George selected the winner, based on the design concept and the ability to create the charm.

Peiran Xu of Teaneck, NJ, produced the winning design, a sterling charm with an amethyst in its center, surrounded by diamonds. It’s a charm within a charm — the state flower, a violet, nestled inside an abstract NJ.

Xu submitted her design as part of a class project in a Fairleigh Dickinson University art class. Ten entries came from that class and when Xu was presented with her charm, her instructor and classmates came along, too.

The top three winners were announced during an unveiling ceremony at the store. Xu was thrilled that the charm looked exactly like she thought it would — even better, Cheryl says. “We gave her a $150 gift certificate for the store, too, and she bought a necklace for her grandmother.”

The first runner-up received a $100 gift card and the second runner-up, a $50 gift card.

The event included a presentation on how to go green with jewelry by restoring old pieces —a theme for Earth Day in April.

THE RESULTS

FAN BASE • Part of the objective was to increase our Facebook presence and our fan base,” Cheryl says. “We had a page, but it wasn’t an interactive fan page. This turned it around completely. We had huge success with voting on Facebook. Even after the contest was over, people still asked me about it. We’ll definitely do it again. It was a great PR event and we got a lot of feedback.”

“We were so pleased that there was such an interest in this contest,” George says. “We were happy to create a beautiful piece of jewelry to reflect the beauty of New Jersey.”

DO IT YOURSELF

“I think working with a PR company is important because as a business owner you are pulled in so many directions,” Cheryl says. “Quite often you have an idea but you lack the time to implement it. If you cannot have a PR position in house then I find it extremely helpful and important now, with all the social networking to work with a PR firm. It’s been a very big asset to us.”

Schultz Furrier Welcomes Summit Customers with ‘A Tasting of Millburn.’

The Hip Event — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 21:00:03 +0000

April 25 2012 – Schultz Furrier, a family owned luxury apparel and accessories company specializing in leather and furs, welcomed new customers from Summit, New Jersey to their Millburn, New Jersey location during a week long event from Wednesday April 18, 2012 to Saturday April 21, 2012.

Summit customers were welcomed by the Schultz Furrier family, with full access to the store’s wide selection of high quality fur garments, as well as, a tasting of cuisine from different Millburn restaurants each day including Peter’s of Millburn, Salad House, MoonShine, Martini Bistro & Bar and Bagel Chateau.

Customers were encouraged to explore the state of the art storage vault, which is located right on premise and is home to nearly 8,000 coats during the warm summer months. The vault is one of a kind with a temperature controlled setting of approximately 42 degrees, which is optimal for fur. While your coat is in storage, minor repairs and alterations can be made. Once the winter rolls around, all you have to do is pick up your coat from their Millburn location and you’re ready for the cold!
