Are you FUN?

As a direct seller you know you have to step up and in order to maintain your business and there’s nobody telling you what to do and when to do it. It’s all on YOU.

Do you know why it’s sooo important to step up and maintain your business?  

This will keep you from having to restart your business over and over…

If you make excuses, you’ll start your business over again and again because WHAT YOU DO TODAY AFFECTS YOUR BUSINESS 90 DAYS FROM NOW.

So, how can we step up our business to take it to the next level and help maintain it?

It’s simple...

You need to…

HAVE MORE FUN!

It’s really important to do things that are FUN at ALL your parties year round, whether it’s the summer months or the busier holiday season. The parties at a local park or when you’re stuck inside because there is 3 feet of snow outside...

  

Some months will book quicker than others, but if your guests aren’t having fun, they aren’t going book… AT ALL!

One way to add some fun to your parties is with THEME PARTIES.

Now, if you already bring the FUN like I do, you may not need to do theme parties… so this is for those of you who feel like you need to add fun to your parties.

You want to keep your themes SIMPLE so that your host isn’t overwhelmed. The sky really is the limit when it comes to theme parties!

Some popular themes are:

· Muffins & Mimosas

· Fashion & Fondue

· Flip Flops & (whatever you sell)

· Margarita Monday

· Taco Tuesday

· Wine Down Wednesday

· Throwback Thursday/70’s or 80’s party

· Sports Themed Tailgating Bash

· Ice Cream Social

And then of course you have your seasonal themes, such as:

· Shop for Your Sweetheart Party

· Picnic Party

· Costume/Halloween themed party

· Ugly Sweater Party

· Secret Santa Party

· Cookie Exchange Party

· Toy Drive Party

So, once you and your host decide on a theme, it’s time to get the FUN going!

You want to start with a FUN invite, followed by a FUN Facebook event, and then of course, the FUN party is the cherry on top.

Let me show you how you can do this if you were hosting an Ice Cream Social Party...

Your host would provide the ice cream and ask her guests to bring different toppings - she could ask them to bring their favorite childhood topping or their guilty little pleasure that they never let themselves have in front of the kids.

You would create a fun ice cream themed invitation for your host and make sure you include the special instructions of what they should bring. 

In your Facebook event, you want to strike up conversations that get them talking...so why not ask their favorite ice cream flavor or topping.  

You should also create a cute reminder that your host can send out to her friends letting them know how excited she is to see them at the party and enjoy ice cream sundaes together!

At the party you want to make sure that you set up the ice cream social party in a time when it’s NOT going to distract from your presentation.  

Since you’ll be passing items around and you want them writing down on their wish lists you will want to wait for the ice cream until it’s time to shop.  

BUUUT...as each guest arrives they can share their toppings and why they brought that topping with them.  Use it as an ice breaker before the party to get them to relax and open up

Remember, when your guests are having FUN, they will not only spend more money, but will also be more likely to book a party so THEIR FRIENDS can have fun too!
