Man accidentally shoots self at gun show
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 29 (UPI) -- A Minneapolis company is taking the female tradition of sales parties in a new, male-oriented direction with back yard barbecue events.
Man Cave Worldwide is a start-up outfit specializing in barbecue equipment sales through representatives at parties -- just like Tupperware or Mary Kay cosmetics only with male-targeted products, including a $25 spatula large enough to flip four burgers at once, a $55 branding iron for putting the chef's initials into steak and a $30 set of rollers for cooking bratwurst.
John Schaffran, a San Jose, Calif., sales representative for Man Cave, said there are a few tricks to a successful sales party with men, including premiums for large purchases and the ever-important free beer, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday.
"Free beer is something that will always get a crowd of guys together," Schaffran said.
