Tips and advice for konkatsu party (Omiai party)
Posted July 15, 2009
on:Phase 1: Choosing the right event targeted at appropriate population segment
- Know the differences among various parties
- Petite omiai party: It is where you have the chance to converse with every participants for 2-3 min, followed by free time to converse with those you felt affection with. Because it is highly organized and the process is systematical, giving every participant chance to meet all participants, it has higher rate of success. It also allows because speed dating is an individual play, one can participate alone.
- Large omiai party: Most popular style of omiai party which is more flexible than speed dating style of petite omiai party. It is more like a dinner party with games and matching events organized throughout the party. It gives people more time to converse with participants they are interested in. Since meeting people require some aggressiveness, if you are shy person, this is not the party for you.
- Travel omiai party: This is an all day event where the agency rents out a bus and takes the participants on a day trip to amusement park or hiking in the mountain or whatever. Throughout the day, participants get to know eachother while having fun together on a relaxing weekend trip
- Identify target segment- who do you want to meet?
- What are you looking for? a boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife?
The higher the entrance fee is, the more serious participants are in kokatsu acitivty and the higher the success rate is for finding your life partner. Identify what you are looking for and choose the appropriate event with appropriate level of entrance fee. - Every omiai party has requirement for participants… whether it’s age, salary, marital status, academic degree, occupation, find out what your target segment is and choose the appropriate event with the people you want to meet with.
- What are you looking for? a boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife?
Phase 2: Looking groovy for the party – no need to be sexy or beautiful, the most important thing is to look clean!
- Guys, watch out for body odor, bad breath, beard, dirty nails, dirty shoes, unwashed un-ironed shirts
- Girls, no need to show off your cleavages, but look clean and pure, smell like soap and smile a lot
Phase 3: What to do at the party
- Be on time, or rather, get there early
- Tardiness could mess up your experience in the event completely: messy hair, lack of time for last minute makeover, bad impression, lack of time to work on profile card, nervousness, panic
- Work on your profile card, write a lot, give lots of information
- Since your profile card is conversation initiator, you want to really work on a well developed profile card which opens conversation with various participants easily and openly. Starting a conversation with a total strangers is difficult so in most cases, you and your partner will start the conversation from eachothers’ profiles. Put as many information as possible, but nothing heavy, nothing serious, write down trendy movies and interesting hobbies, new trendy restaurants in town and interesting stories of your latest vacation! https://tokyocherie.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php
- Don’t get drunk
- no need to explain in detail… I suppose
For advanced participants: Tricks for Omiai Party
- Be a good listener more than a good talker
- (If you really wanna be “matched”) Mark as many people as appealing for the final matching vote, this will increase your chance of being “matched” to someone
- Give out your mobile phone number and email addresses on your “message card” to increase the chance of being contacted after the party even if you fail to be “matched” for the night
- Use follow-up service
After the party, if you really want to contact unforgettable participants you met at the party but were not matched to, you can ask the agent to send personal message to them for extra fee.
