How to Have Your Own Online Party

How to Have Your Own Online Party!
© Terri Seymour of www.seymourproducts.com

Online parties can be a successful and fun way to
build your home business. These parties are
similar to home parties except that you do not
have to pay a small fortune for refreshments and
snacks! ;-)

You can have your party in a free or low cost chat
room or you can have your party via email. Be
sure and create a relaxed and fun atmosphere for your
guests. We would recommend a chat room.

You can either recruit someone to host the party for
you or you can be the host. There is also something
called "Mystery Host Party". This is where you draw or
randomly select a guest to be the "Mystery Host" and
receive the host benefits.

You will need to schedule your party. We have found
that during the week is best unless it is winter. Then
weekends can be a good time also. Give yourself plenty
of time to plan and send out invitations.

Plan your specials. You definitely want to have some
items on special. Maybe some that tie in with your
theme, if you have one. Give a 25% discount on certain
items, but make sure you leave enough profit as well.
You could also offer a small free gift with all orders
over $25, for example.

When it is time to send out the invites, email groups
and message boards can be a great place to start. Send
out the invitations (follow guidelines on this). Also
invite friends, neighbors, co-workers. Let everyone
know they can bring a guest or two or however many
you like.

Have each guest introduce themselves and tell (type) a
little about themselves. This will help bring the guests
together.

You also want to make sure you have some fun and
interesting games to play. And of course, for each
game you will need prizes. Below are some popular
party games:

*Scavenger Hunt - make a list of several items and
instruct your guests to find them on your site.

*Word Scramble - Pick about 10 words from your site
and see who can get them all right in the least amount
of time. Let your guests know the words come from your
site/business.

*Trivia Questions - Write up a list of questions about
your site/business.

There are many more fun, exciting games to play at
your party! Make up your own if you like as well.

You, of course, will also want to spend some time
presenting your products. If you offer home decor
items, share some tips and ideas on home decorating
with your products. If you offer aromatherapy items,
explain the benefits of your products. Make your
presentation fun, informative and relaxed. Let the
quests ask questions and always be clear and candid
with your answers.

The idea here is to relax, have fun, show your items
and make new contacts/customers. If your guests have
a good time and enjoy themselves, they will sure to
come back to your next party! ;-)
