I've been invited to a couple of Tiffany events. One is in NYC at a time when I will be in town.

Obviously they are hoping to generate sales, but is there an expectation that if I attend I will buy something?
 
Hmm, I feel that's there's always some level of expectation when I'm invited to an event. Especially when I show particular interesting in certain items. I have been asked if I'm going to make a purchase at the end, and have politely declined explaining that I take a long time to make a decision on my purchases. If I'm invited by the same house to additional events, I usually decline because I've seen what I wanted to see and will still take my time making a decision.

I only go to events when I have interest in a certain collection or certain pieces. Sometimes I do buy on the day of and sometimes I don't. However, I generally don't go to events that I have no interest in. While my SAs are kind and often encourage me to go whether I'm interested or not, or will buy or not, I know that the hope is that I buy something and I'm not there to give false hope especially when I know what I like and don't like.

If it's a sort of "maybe" situation, for example, I'm not sure if I will like what's at the event, or I don't know much about what's going to be presented but I'm curious, then I decide based on my relationship with my SA. If I have a longstanding relationship with my SA who understands my tastes and shopping habits, it will not bother them if I choose not to buy, then I will go just to satisfy my curiosity. Maybe I will end up liking it and buy something. Maybe I'll learn something new and take it into consideration. Who knows!
 
If it’s a shopping event sure, or T least be open to the possibility. If it’s a dinner, I tend to think it’s more part of your SA cultivating your ongoing relationship. I’ve refused invites bc I’m just not interested in certain things and know I won’t buy. That way my SA can extend the invite to a more interested client. But, you are 💯 in charge of your wallet and your spend. If you want to go to an event, and don’t see anything you adore, don’t buy. It’s simply luck whether you will fall in love with an item on a given occasion.
