Hey Everyone,

I just got a call today from a past host and she booked for June 20!! It's going to be a double show w/her neighbor who works for a big company! I'm not counting my chickens, but this host did $900 on her own last year!:p !

I'm so hoping to get some bookings from this to get me going for a huge fall! I've had a break and I'm now ready to get busy again! Besides I need the money! That's always a good incentive!

My Daughter just graduated from HS this past Sunday and will be leaving for 3 weeks in Germany tomorrow. We still have her party the end of June, but I plan on focusing a few days on my business! I'm getting excited again!

Time to charge the IPOD and listen to a little Belinda!;)
 
Welcome back!!! You'll have no problems booking this summer with the Host specials!!! Do grill shows, deck parties or pool parties!!! Anything to stay cool.

Thanks! I like the grill party idea. The only scary thing for me ismy husband usually grills, not me! What do others grill? I've done the pizza before.
 
Good for you...now, just stay "on track." LOL

I'm going to try now that I have many home projects completed:)!! My husband'd job has also slowed down so he won't be so stressed when I have to leave at night:)!!
 
I'm also on my way to getting back "on track". I'm hoping to get June booked up so that I can earn some great fall products!! Two bookings so far...gotta work on more.

Remember 3-2-1, Rhonda! You go girl! :)
 
For the Grill parties, ask if they will be couples and tell them you will bring Hubby to do all the grilling...or ask for the other hubby to do it for you when the time comes. My recruit (better yet MY FRIEND!) and I are holding a Grilling Party this weekend and our hubbies are grilling for us! Its great!

Way to go! And YES- listen to Belinda...she ALWAYS fired me up and I was so successful at shows that I did shortly after listening to one of her CD's or part of one on the way to a show. She is awesome!

I can't wait to see how awesome this show is going to be for you!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I turn one booking into a huge fall?

To turn one booking into a huge fall, focus on maximizing the potential of that single event. Start by creating excitement around the booking, encouraging guests to invite friends and family. Offer incentives for referrals and emphasize the benefits of hosting their own parties. Utilize social media to promote the event and engage with attendees before and after the party.

What strategies can I use to encourage guests to book their own parties?

During the party, highlight the fun and benefits of hosting their own event. Share success stories of past hosts and the rewards they received. Provide a simple and clear explanation of the booking process, and offer exclusive host rewards that are only available for a limited time. Consider offering a small gift or discount for those who book on the spot.

How can I follow up with guests after the party to encourage bookings?

After the party, send personalized thank-you notes to attendees, expressing your appreciation for their participation. Include a reminder about the benefits of hosting their own party and any exclusive offers available. Follow up with a phone call or message a few days later to answer any questions and encourage them to take the next step in booking their own event.

What role does social media play in turning one booking into multiple parties?

Social media is a powerful tool for expanding your reach and generating interest in future parties. Share photos and highlights from the event, tag attendees, and encourage them to share their experiences. Create event pages for upcoming parties and use targeted ads to reach a broader audience. Engaging content can inspire others to host their own parties, leading to more bookings.

How can I leverage host rewards to encourage more bookings?

Host rewards are a great incentive for guests to book their own parties. Clearly communicate the rewards they can earn, such as discounts, free products, or exclusive items. Consider offering tiered rewards that increase with the number of bookings made from their party. This can create a sense of urgency and excitement, motivating guests to take action and book their own events.
