Home Party Business Marketing is largely a matter of understanding what one is getting into. The party plan method is the use of social events – home parties to parade, demonstrate, show off and sample products used primarily to sell items whose main appeal is to women by women, such as Tupperware, Mary Kay Cosmetics, kitchen utensils, home decor items e.g, home garden & party, jewelry, skincare e.g, Arbonne International, candles e.g, Mia Bella. Recent additions to the field include lingerie, and sex toys e.g., Passion Parties.

It is very evident that the home party plan traditional business idea is fresh once again as a new generation of sellers open their homes for direct sales.

Home parties now account for approx. 30 percent of the nearly $30.8 billion in U.S. direct sales, and 15.2 million Americans bought or sold goods from home in 2007; according to the Direct Selling Association, the premier resource for all thing direct sales.

With the growth of the internet, customers find that they continue to benefit from a personal and convenient way of purchasing products. The Internet is fast becoming an essential element of home party plan business success. It gives both the home party consultant and their customer each a worldwide base. The growing trend is to host virtual parties online. Internet sales account for 14% of all home party sales!

The 4 Elements Of A Successful Home Party Plan Business

1. A Home: As with real estate, location, location, location matters. Let me share with you some statistics. Home parties account for roughly 70% of the 78% face to face sales made in the US. Cozy, comfortable, social always wins out! So be sure to host home party plan fun monthly meetings at the least.

2. It’s A Party: Success with home parties lies in the fact that it’s a party at your home–or better yet, at someone else’s. Customers socialize, and you make money. Need more convincing? Make fun is the order of the day. Party like a rockstar!

Home Party Plan Success Tip: Fundamentals are the building blocks of fun

3. Plan(ning) : When you fail to plan, you plan to fail. You need to plan the party elements. You need to plan your business element i.e., marketing, business plan, training, education & development. Your party plan hostess must be coached and prepared. The Home party demo must be planned before hand. Don’t get side tracked and have a show that goes on for 3 hours. No one makes great purchases when they are tired

4. It’s A Business |?biznis| (bus.):

As Max Sanborn asserts, “The ultimate objective of a business is profit. The primary purpose of a business is to create customers. Profitability without customers is an impossibility.”

You are a home party consultant, you are in this of course to have fun, partying in your home or that of a hostess for the express purpose of making and increasing home party sales and profits.

Leads are the lifeline of our business. This can be scary especially if you are a new consultant. Leads whether they be party or consultant leads are always exciting. Don’t let your leads just sit there. Contact them within 12-24 hours. Most people will pick the consultant that contacts them first. You have to getta ‘em while they are HOT!!

Here’s what you can do:

• Call them within 24 hours. This is a great time to introduce yourself. Often time’s people want to associate a name with a voice. This also lets the person know that you are excited to be working with them.
• If you get a voicemail…ALWAYS leave a generic message. You have no idea who will be picking up that message. For example, Hi, this is Staci, your party plan consultant. I am so excited to be working with you. Please give me a call at your earliest convenience.
• After you have contacted the lead by phone, always send an email. The email is a follow up letting them know that you have attempted to contact them by phone.
• Follow up, follow up, and follow up. If you haven’t heard back from her, call again. People have really busy lives and need to be reminded.
• Most important if you cannot get in touch with the lead ALWAYS keep them in your pipeline. You never know when the time is right for people to have a party or become a consultant. Try keeping them on a monthly email list. I had a woman that came to me as a lead; I left messages, sent emails for a year. She finally responded to one of my emails and booked a party. It was my best party yet. Be persistent and consistent, it does pay off.
