TIPS & REMINDERS FOR PEOPLE HAVING Z-EVENTS:
1. DONT POST YOUR JPG-TICKETS ONLINE (Posters will do). Unscrupulous people can reprint your ticket and sell fake ones under your name and earn from this.
2. IF YOU POST THE PRICE ON THE TICKET OR POSTER, There are more chances of your being TAXED for this.
3. NON-ZIN MEMBERs shouldn't present. This portion says a lot about your character (CHARACTER IS HOW YOU BEHAVE, even when alone, no audience, no authority figure is present) considering YOU SIGNED A DEAL with ZUMBA LLC when you became a licensed instructor.
4. ALWAYS prepare a LIABILITY WAIVER and have your guests sign in with their REAL NAMES, to protect you, your business and your profit.
5. When doing Fundraisers, INDICATE the BENEFICIARY unless you want it perceived as a "For the benefit of my pockets" event. Have someone count the money and present the proceeds to the beneficiary after the last song has been danced to, if possible.
6. Please provide at the very least, water for your presenting crew. Bananas are optional but very appreciated. Catered food, wine and giveaways are bonuses and should not be expected unless announced beforehand or unless used as a way to repay you.
7. TAKE GROUP PICTURES BEFORE the dancing begins because the crowd will have thinned down by the end of the party. You'll want a memento to show for all your hard work and to show future sponsors that you can pull in a crowd.
8. If you have raffle prizes and awards to give away, mention these at the get-go so the participants can prepare (i.e. costumes, spiels, dance steps, their psyche, etc.) for "battle" and win.
9. DONT reproduce the Z-LOGO for t-shirts, awards/trophies/plaques. Posters, tickets and backdrops should be enough to promote Zumba without offending the company.
10. Please always use latest Z-logo in their ORIGINAL size color proportion and font.
11. Add this Zumba LLC license credits somewhere in your poster:
“Zumba® and the Zumba Fitness logos are trademarks of Zumba Fitness, LLC, used under license.”
12. Discourage fake ZWear from being worn at your event.
13. Disallow full dance videos being taken at your event. If you want fake instructors to make more money using/copying your choreography, then disregard Tip#13.
14. Add ZIN (TM) to names of current ZIN members only. I check with www.zumba.com.
15. Posters that will be found on this site will need all the correct elements BEFOREHAND.
Hope these help the clueless and and the first timers :)
