WHY Hold A Facebook Party?
Increase sales
Hold more parties each month

Reduce Cancellations
Wintery Weather – not a problem anymore!
Sick children – for you or the hostess
Not many people coming to the party – hostess can definitely OVER invite on a Facebook party!
How A Facebook Party Works
The process is simple. This is how a Facebook party works:
Set up an event in Facebook – everything happens inside the event.
Invite your hostess and have her invite as many friends as she’d like – no limit, she doesn’t have to worry about fitting them all in her living room!
Depending on how far out the party is, post something regularly – even daily in the event… without marketing!
Your lead up posts should be fun and informative – a quote, a picture, etc.
Greet every new attendee! Just like at a real party you should make them feel welcome!
Post the morning of, and an hour before to remind.
Post something on your wall, tagging your hostess about how excited you are for her Facebook party – her friends will see it! (about 15 minutes prior to the event)
Invited friends will see your posts, and if they haven’t decided on whether or not to attend the party, your posts might make the difference.
Once the event starts, everything is within the event.
Plan Your Facebook Parties Set Up
Your Facebook parties’ success depends on your set up and organization. You’ll need to spend time setting up the photos you want to post and creating at least one video.
To avoid confusion be sure to be clear on what you expect to happen during the event!
Here are examples of what to post in the event:
Post a You Tube video of a popular song and let the guests “jam” before you start
Welcome video – using the hostess’s name, welcome them, let them know how it will work and that this is going to be fun
Ask for participation by “liking” or commenting – put names into a drawing for a free prize
Quick video clip (3-5 min) about your product, monthly special, delivery – any important details
Show images of products you want to focus on, customer special, hostess benefits, new teammate perks – topics you’d be sure to cover at a home party
Extra posts – follow you on your fan page, Pinterest, Twitter…
Stop in the middle and post – Are you having fun? What’s your favorite __?
Optional second video of a product or testimony
Special incentive if they order before a certain time
Let’s shop – add your online shop page or email for orders, remind them of the sale/special
Listen while you shop – post another song link
Let them know when the party will close, how to get in touch with you
Thank you!
