Host a Successful Product Party
Are you thinking about having a product party?
Having a party can be and should be great fun! Every host wants to have a successful party - friends
are laughing, chatting and buying. You know you had a successful party when people leave and tell
you what a fantastic time they had with big smiles on their faces or when people are still talking about
your party weeks later. They may even ask when you are going to have another one!
There are many things you, the host, can do to ensure a nice, friendly, fun atmosphere. One of the first
things is to think of your friends. What kind of products would you and your friends like? Is it candles?
Makeup? Jewelry? Home products? Spices? For your first product party, try to pick a product you and
most of your friends would like to own.
Also foods and drinks can be fun. This can be best done through a theme party. A theme party can be
done very simple to extravagant. Some theme ideas:
Winter Wonderland Bar: with some cotton balls (snow), a portion of your kitchen counter can be turned
into a haven of winter theme with hot drink. Winter Wonderland items can include flavored coffee, teas,
hot chocolate, Baileys, chocolate covered spoons.
Mom & Tots: have a party with child care provided. Coffee and sweets or veggies for moms and juice
and a snack for the kids.
Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate: treats could include chocolate muffins, cookies, fudge and even a
chocolate fountain.
To ensure a good time, be a good hostess. These are simple and commons sense things but during
the excitement of the party, it can be easily forgotten. Greet your guest at the door, introduce your guest
to everyone else, go out of your way to make conversation during the evening with all guest especially
with those who don’t know a lot of people at the party (there is nothing worst for a shy guest then being
at a party feeling left out), laugh, smile a lot and when it is time to leave, walk your guest to the door and
thank them for coming.
Why host a party? Well, there are many great reasons to host a product party but the biggest reason
is to have fun. An evening, afternoon or morning get together with laugher and friends. It is a time to
relax and let go of home/work/kid worries. It is a time to enjoy being out as a friend, a woman, as an
adult.
Another big reason to host a product party is to support women in business. Many consultants take
their business very seriously and have spent a lot of time and energy getting their business started and
with continuing its growth. These women in the home party plan and direct sales business are stay at
home moms, single moms, full time workers, party time workers and every combination in between.
When you host a party you’re not only getting free products, a fun time with friends but you are
supporting a home based business.
Let’s turn around the concept ‘Oh a product party, if I go I’ll have to buy something’ in to ‘You’re hosting
a product party? I want to go.’
