What is a Potluck Lottery and How Can It Boost Your Direct Sales Business?

[hsilwamba]

I saw on a list of ways to get bookings to host a potluck lottery. What is that? Sounds liek fun. Also when someone hosts their own show at your own house, how do you do it? Do you just invite your whole customer base and do a fun theme? Also how can I go about finding places for fundraisers?

A potluck lottery is where you invite people to bring a dish to your event. Everyone who brings a dish gets a chance to win a prize. As for hosting your own show at your house, you can plan a fun theme and invite your customers to come over. You can also advertise the event on social media or through other marketing methods. Finally, when it comes to finding places for fundraisers, you can look into local churches, schools, civic centers, parks, restaurants, and other venues that may be willing to host the event.

A potluck lottery is a fun way to get bookings for your direct sales business. Here's how it works:1. Invite a group of potential hostesses to your home or a neutral location.2. Ask each person to bring a dish to share for a potluck dinner.3. Have a basket or container with numbers in it.4. Each person who brings a dish will draw a number from the basket.5. The number they draw corresponds to the month they will host a party.6. The person who draws the number for the current month will be the first hostess and will receive the hostess rewards for that month.7. The person who draws the number for the next month will be the second hostess and so on.8. This continues until all the months are filled with a hostess.9. As the hostess for the current month's party, you can use this opportunity to showcase your products and book parties for the following months.To host your own show at your house, you can invite your customer base and have a fun theme.
