Hi There,
Any ideas on how to encourage more party bookings??
Currently we as "would you be interested in hosting your own party?" but find we get a closed answer.
I was just wondering how everybody else went about over coming this problem??
Does anyone give away prizes to people who book a party? Do they cancel at a later date?
Any feed back or info would be appreciated.
Cheers
Rebecca

I have found that games work the best for me with party bookings there are a few good ones on this sight. The one i am having the most sucess with at the moment is the wish list game. Which you will find in the games section.

The one I have most luck with is showing the discount and savings the hostess will get for having her party today which they are also entitled to if they have a party!

Hi,
I do the same as Kylie, promote the rewards your hostess receives during your demonstration.
Show an item and ask "how would you like to recieve this for FREE or 1/2 price?" or "Lorraine" receives this for FREE or 1/2Price for having me here today.
Put "booking seeds" into their minds.
NEVER ask would you like to have a party? ask did you enjoy yourself today, did you like the products you saw, they'll answer yes and tell you what they liked, then ask would you like them for free? If you were to have a party what day of the week would you like it? Open your diary give them two dates and they will generally pick the last one.
This works for me.
You didn't say what party plan you do.
I do Princess House.

Have to agree with Lorraine...explaining your hostess program is key to bookings in your diary.
I often choose the items they are about to purchase and explain to them if they were the hostess today the would have received item x and y for 1/2 price and z for free. This often peeks their curiousity...especially if they have their eye on something else but cant afford it this time around.
Also bookings when you are out....fortunately as l am with Fifth Avenue Collection Jewellery....l never leave the house without my jewellery....always my rings...as they catch the attention of so many and wha la..a conversation is started .....many times followed by a booking.
Hope this is helpful to you
Good luck with yhour business.
