Southern Living at Home

[JennLizFran]

Hello all! Has anyone ever paired with a Southern Living at Home rep? I have a client who just walked in and saw my PC catalog and said I didn't know you did this! So, I mentioned maybe we should do a combined party. (I'm new to this and don't have a lot of customers, so I thought this would be a good way to meet new people). She's planning a Fall Open House and we may do it together. Any thoughts?

Go for it...anything to get your name out there!!!

I agree. Go for it.

Yeah and she might do alot of the marketing to get your name out.

Yes I have, it was very successful. I have done an open house twice with other DS people. Here are my tips:


Be sure that whoever you choose will also invite their friends & customers and not just plan to mooch off of you - try and choose people who have different friends than you (so you can mooch off of each other :) .
Choose someone who is close to you in location - so that their friends will want to come and book shows with you
Do it as Mystery Host and give away your benefits
Give away door prizes


attached is my invite, ticket list, and door prize slip from the last one that I did. We had a central location for the door prize slip and drew a winner every 20-30 mins. We each kept up with our own mystyer host tickets (we had our own system for this). Have fun and advertise a lot!
