When choosing a party plan, think about what you love to do. If you have a passion for something this will often shine through and make selling your product, even talking about your product a lot easier. People will sense this as well. There is no use joining or starting something unless you are serious about it.
Party Plan companies range from:
- Skincare
- Beauty
- Homewares
- Home Furnishings
- Candles
- Medieval
- Chocolate
- Alcohol
- Kids Clothing
- Education Resources
- Scrapbooking
- Pets
- Lingerie
- Clothing
- Jewellery
- Food (cooking demonstrations)
- Linen
- Furniture
- New Age
- Adult
- Wine
You can see the list is long. You need to ask yourself what you really love to do and could turn into a business. When you have chosen a Party Plan you need to find out:
- How much it is to start with the Party Plan Company?
- How many orders you need to get each month?
- If there is a minimum $ amount each month to place?
- If training is provided?
- Is there a minimum amount of parties you have to have?
Make sure you have all the facts. Some companies allow you to pay your kit off with your first few parties and others even allow a direct debit each month until you have paid your kit off. Others, of course require the kit to be paid off before you receive your kit, either way make sure that what you choose, you are happy with and it is right for you.
How to Keep Your Customers?
Current customers are gems. They are what keep you going. You never know who they might know that would be interested in your product. They can be past and future hostesses and hopefully will come back to you when they run out of what they have.
Newsletters
Have a newsletter that goes out to your customers. Include specials and deals, also a free gift never goes astray when a customer places an order. Your loyalty to them will mean their loyalty to you.
Celebrate
When a customer orders from you, ask for their details such as address, phone number, email and even their birth date. Keep note of this date and when it approaches offer your customer a free gift with their next order or a special offer.
Favourite Items/Products
Also keep note of your customers favourite product. When a special on the item comes out, write to them or ring them personally and let them know. They will appreciate you keeping them in mind and keep coming back.
