Open Houses Strut Your Stuff With Pride

• Be creative, but not extravagant; people will respect you for not throwing away company dollars. Make sure every job demonstrated on your equipment during tours is a real job; again, you will be respected for not blowing a whole day's production schedule to throw a party.

• Music sets the mood and should be tied to the theme. Have someone responsible for adjusting the volume constantly, as the crowd density will fluctuate and dictate what is appropriate.
