Thanks Anne, that helps! Sounds like everything I'm doing but just need to do more cattys & OOforms.
What's your web flier like?
Oh, and another thought for y'all. What do you send a potential catty host? I have a lady at the chamber that wants a new catty for sure, and I mentioned to her about passing it around to her coworkers etc. She's not firmly in as a catty host, but I thought if I include something with her copy, it might help get her to do it. Any thoughts?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is host coaching and why is it important?
Host coaching is the process of guiding and supporting your hosts to ensure a successful party. It is important because it helps hosts feel confident and prepared, leading to higher sales and better attendance. Effective coaching can also strengthen your relationship with the host, encouraging them to book future parties.
How can I follow up with my hosts without using postcards?
You can follow up with your hosts through various methods such as phone calls, text messages, or emails. Personalizing your communication based on the host's preferences can make a significant impact. Consider using social media platforms or group chats to keep the conversation flowing and provide updates.
What key information should I include in my follow-up communications?
Your follow-up communications should include reminders about the party date, tips for inviting guests, product highlights, and any special promotions. Additionally, encourage hosts to share their excitement and personal stories about the products to engage their guests better.
How often should I follow up with my hosts?
It's best to follow up with your hosts regularly but not excessively. A good rule of thumb is to check in about two weeks before the party, then again a few days prior, and finally, a day before the event. This keeps the party fresh in their minds and allows you to address any last-minute questions or concerns.
What are some creative ways to engage hosts during follow-up?
Consider hosting a virtual meeting or a small group chat with your hosts to share tips and ideas. You can also create a fun challenge or incentive for them to engage their guests, such as a prize for the host who gets the most RSVPs. Using interactive tools like polls or quizzes can also keep the energy high and encourage participation.
