Online Party Plans
What could be easier? Your hostess doesn't have to clean house, make snacks, find a
babysitter, or even get dressed! Your guests, don't have to spend money on gas to
drive to your house, find a baby sitter, or even get out of their pajamas! Is this a no
brainer or what? It is a win-win situation for all involved.
Women love shopping online and they love not having to rearrange their whole life just
to get to a house party. Something is always coming up in the busy housewife and
mothers life. Work at home moms, find it hard to leave their business behind, but, they
know how to shop online! Make it easy for them to purchase your products.
Both Mary Kay and Arbonne offer you opportunities to have online parties. At this point
I am not sure if Avon has this up and running but, you can run your own party if you have
your own website. All you need to do is gather the people, point them in the right direction
and wha la, you have an online party.
How To Get People To Come To Your Online Party.
As a hostess, deciding to have an online party is a very smart one especially when it is
difficult to get your friends and family together in your home for an in home party. But how
do you get people to come to your online party once you have chosen a date, a place and a
time for your party?
Tell your friends and tell them to tell their friends.
You should be sure to tell all your friends and family about your online party. Send out
emails that give them the time and the URL of the website where your party is going to be
held and be sure to let them know how very excited you are about the party and how happy
they will be if they decide to stop by. Evite.com is a great site to utilize to send online party
invitations. If there are going to be any specials on certain products or free shipping or
anything being given away, be sure to let them know at that time.
Think of the mothers, many have to pick up kids, feed the family and the work at home
moms have a business to run. So, make your online party a time that will not interfere with
those busy times that moms all have to deal with. Usually you can pick a time when the kids
are in school, or a time later when all are fed and watching TV and mom can get away to buy
herself something special. Weekends are always a winner for busy work at home moms to
get away for a little time to pamper them-selves.
Choose Incentives.
Find out what will get your hostess excited to have a party. Sometimes it may be free
product, maybe it is a discount on everything she wants to buy. Almost all companies have
hostess gifts that they offer to their consultants, find out if your hostess would like what is
being offered by the company. I know from experience I always have leftover hostess gifts,
so, I go with my arms loaded when meeting with the hostess and offer her many different
items to choose from. Once you find what will excite her, it will be easy for you to get her to
be excited about getting her friends to her party as she will want to receive the hostess gift
or gifts.
Everyone loves toget a special deal on something they plan on buying -- and who doesn’t
love having a chance to get something for free?
Advertise.
Advertise your party wherever possible online. Take the time to find great places to
advertise your upcoming online party. Make sure to pay attention to the posting rules in the
sites you are looking to place an advertisement. You do not want to be accused of spamming.
Think about blogs, forums, MySpace, YouTube, community service organization, etc. Forums
for moms or for work at home moms (WAHM) are excellent places to start advertising your
online party. Later I will talk more about using different online venues to your advantage.
Have Fun.
Make sure to really share your enthusiasm about your upcoming online party. If you
are excited about the party and the products that are being offered, then it is very likely
that you will get others interested and excited too.
These are just a few ideas that you can use in order to get people to attend your online
party. Remember to follow up with last minute reminders and you are sure to have a
fun and hopefully very profitable online party.

Starting a New Direct sales and Party Plan Business
This Is Your Direct Sales Business! Treat It Like A Business.
Some of this may seem generic or to simple for some of you, but, remember this site was
designed so that all women, especially the work at home moms (WAHMs)who want to start
their own home party plan business can come and learn how to do that. If some parts seem to
easy or simple for you, just read past them and find the part that you might not have thought
about before, something that just rings a bell for you and that "Ah Ha" moment happens.
The greatest wisdom I can share here is: "This Is Your Direct Sales Business, Treat It Like
A Business." Too many people get into the direct sales business looking for a fast way
to make a buck.... Some make it! Most don't! You can make this business into anything
you want; Weekend get away from the children, perfect job for the work at home mom
(WAHM),a couple of extra bucks for a little vacation get away, to help pay for college, even a
simple way just to meet other people if that is all you are looking for. It is your business,
you decide why you want to be in business.
It is your home party plan business and you can decide why you started it and how you
want to run it. Just always remember this is a business and if you want to be successful
in "Your Business", you will have to do the work to make it successful! Work at home
moms will have to learn to balance the family with business, but make no mistake, treat
it like a business or you will fail.
You do not have to follow these steps exactly, It will not matter much if you do step 4 first
or step 1, just know, these are the things you will want to accomplish as you start your own
home party plan business. All the companies I have mentioned, Mary Kay, Arbonne and
Avon all do things a little different and so can you. It is your business and work it any way
you want to.
Step One: Do Your Research.
This is probably the biggest part of finding this website. I hope to reduce the amount of
research you have to do. I have spent a lot of time reading and researching websites
and books on multi level marketing, home business start ups, the cosmetic industry,
website building, home party plans, network marketing, work at home moms, etc.,
and tried to bring it all here together in one space to help you build your business.
I will try to condense all your reading time by me sharing all the research I have found on
how to make a network marketing business work. You can truly research your business to
death! Trust me, I think I may have done that once or twice, and I don't want you to have
to go through that. I have spent months and months, reading, researching, and then reading
some more. Your time could be better used in building your home party plan business then in
just reading about building a business. I want you to start your home party plan business
as soon as possible.
Step Two: Pick A Company You Trust And A Product You Love!
Have you every used a product for a long time and just loved everything about it?
You know everything about this product line. This is the product you should look into selling.
If you love what you are selling people can tell that. It is very hard to get people to believe
you as a sales person if you don't love your own product. Mom, go through your cabinets,
what products do you love, do they have a home party plan business setup? If they do, go for it.
Home Party Plan Businesses are perfect for the work at home moms (WAHM)! You can work
while the kids are napping, playing, sitting in your lap. Make your work a game for them. No
more going to work and missing the babies first steps or first words. Start your own home
based business. There is lots of helpful information at the many WAHM websites for mothers
working from home. They offer great information as well as wonderful support for the work
at home mom.
Once you decide on a product you love, get to know that product inside and out,
know what it is made of, how it is made, it's benefits over the competitors
Look for FREE advertising, there is tons out there, you just have to do your research.
Think; blogs, forums, community service organizations, and product review sites. Business
cards are a form of advertising you can get 250 FREE cards right now from Vista Print.
Just Click Here! Vista Print has a great number of templates to use for designing your own
business cards and it is so easy to do.
Your home company probably is affiliated with a company that will make you business
cards, but generally they are quite expensive.
Your Upline
Can be a fountain of information. Most have been doing this for many years. Some of what
they tell you may be out dated and you may just want to ignore it but they have many
women under them that have just started out and can share some great stuff with you.
You have to find your comfort level. What are you willing to try and what am I just not
comfortable doing. Over time your comfort level will increase and you will be willing to try
things you were not in the very beginning.
Step Four: Start A Seperate Bank Account For Your Business.
You have to be able to seperate your personal money from the business money, not only
will this save you when tax time comes around, this will just make book keeping much
easier. You don't need to start a business account as that will cost you a lot more money.
They will let you open a personal account for your small business, if not find a new bank.
Step Five: Start Building Your Home Party Plan Business.
This after all is what you are working towards right? Well, no better time then the
present to get out there and start building your home party plan business, time to
start meeting people and building that network marketing business. But, you just told
me not to do things like my upline! True, but there is still foot work to be done, people
to meet and products to show. But do it smarter then the others. Don't run around all
day trying to meet everybody you see.
You need to have people all ready lined up who want you to come and see them. People
who have called you or emailed you and asked you to come out and host a party for them.
You want people who want to join your team and have called you and asked you how to
start a Home Party Plan Business different from how the others have tried. You want people
searching out your name and number and coming to you for advice. That is how you build
a real network marketing business. These are the people you want to spend your time on,
because they have already let you know, they want what you have, their own Home Party
Plan Business.
Some of this may seem generic or to simple for some of you, but, remember this site was
