Tips to Increase Party Bookings for Direct Sales

Looking for ways to increase the amount of parties you book for your direct sales business? Try some of these great tips and watch your business grow!!

* Offer Bonuses for booking parties on weeknights or weekday afternoons.
* Hold multi-host parties. With a multi-host party you can have 2-3 hosts pick one location to have a party. Each host will invite their own guests and earn free products and bonuses from their guests. The hosts share the party space and you only have to do one business presentation.
* Consider taking your parties to other venues, such as business offices, community centers, assisted living centers, parks, bowling alleys, small cafes and diners, churches, fellowship halls and any other place where people meet.
* Contact past party hosts and offer incentives for them to book another party.
* Contact your customers and offer them incentives for booking a party.
* Offer catalog parties for those who don't want to hold a party in their home.
* Get involved in various community events.
* Take your party on the road with a party in a your trunk. Trunk shows are great ways to get your product visible to as many people as possible.
* Offer mini-parties. A shorter party may appeal to a hostess that doesn't want to commit a lot of time to their event.
* Set up a fan page for your business on Facebook. Invite all your friends to join. This is a great way to keep all your customers up to date on your specials and promotions.
* Have an online party with a mystery hostess. Set different limits and incentives for people to participate. Give everyone entries to be the mystery hostess based on how many of the incentives they meet. The winner will get all the hostess benefits for the party.
* Host fundraisers. Use fundraisers to expand your network of customers. This will benefit you and the organization.
