How to Do an Online Party
A. Decide if you are going to get a hostess or just do it for yourself. (If you haven’t done one yet, do it for yourself first). You can use the option of having a mystery hostess when you’ve done it a time or two.
B. You need to find a chat room. There is one available through SellersNet!! woohoo!!
After you have chosen a time and place, you will want to either send invites out to your hostesses guests or, if for yourself, you will want to advertise, also invite guests yourself.
You can advertise on boards, forums, networks, etc.
Then you will want to offer a special. You might offer orders placed that night over $x.xx will get a free soap or votive or something else extra.
Then you will want to choose a game that is good for online parties. You can make scrambled words or a trivia game. Use your site for the answers … this encourages visitors to explore your site and possibly order more.
There are many games out there or you can think up one yourself...and offer a prize to the one with the most correct answers, that way you are giving only one prize. It could even be $5.00 off their order or something small.
When you offer prizes like that, is it coming out of our own pocket? Yes, that is why you want it to be something small or inexpensive...and if you are offering a special make them have to do something for it like purchase 50.00.
The hostess gets all the orders (outside orders included). If you are using a hostess, encourage her to get orders prior to the online party from her friends, on- and off-line. You can provide her with the link to your site and a catalog (electronic and/or paper).
You may have to process the order for the winner of the prize or someone taking advantage of a special.
You just tell them to email the order to you with payment. They could utilize PayPal or send you their CC number.
How do you keep track of the online sells so that it formulates a party? Ask the guests to let you know they ordered, and what they ordered.
Payment methods: Credit Card, PayPal, Check, Cash, or Money Order. (Select payment method(s) you can utilize).
