Have anyone created an outline for their Facebook party? What stuff do you share? I've seen some parties have a lot of prizes, what type of prize would you do? I have my first Facebook party this week and I am a little bit lost
 
Thanks for posting! I'm sorry you haven't received any responses thus far. Do you have any additional information or can you rephrase your post to make it clearer?
 
I am not now, nor have I ever been on Facebook, but a quick search of Consultant's Corner turned up a few items...these two jumped out at me as possibly useful. (to search- I just entered "Facebook" in the Keyword search on CC).As for prizes, being an online party, they would be various items of different price ranges. Typically, I keep it very small (like under $5), because you are in this to make at least a few dollars. YES- it's ok to invest a few dollars to get future business, but don't spend it all or you won't be in business too long. ;) Anyway- things like Rubs, Season's Best, Mini Spatula, Free Shipping, etc. With products, you can either add them to the host order (after she takes all of her benefits), so you'll get the host discount on those items, thereby spending even less.So I would look at the products that fit in that price range, and highlight a couple. What to give prizes for...not sure. I saw someone say something about the "first order", or maybe offer an extra gift for orders over a certain dollar amount. I used to do a Season's Best for orders over $30, another small item for orders over $50, and then of course you had the PC Guest Special of the month. Hope this helps! Good luck. I would just keep it simple.

Hi I am new to this,can you send me your template as well? It would be greatly appreciated [email protected]. Thank you in advance :-)
 
I would very much like a template as well. I have 7 FB events this month and it's driving me crazy! [email protected]. Thanks so much!!
 
I read somewhere to have the host personally pm about 30 people instead of all of their friends. I was trying to come up with something to send the host to tell them this. Here is a rough idea....can others help and tweak or does someone have something already written?Hello Sally Host, I am looking forward to your Facebook party. To get started individually message 30 of your friends asking them if they would like an invitation. Tell them....
"“Hi I am having an online/catalog/Facebook Pampered Chef show. I love Pampered Chef products and thought you would really love them as much as I do.
Anyone that likes to eat needs some of their quality products in their kitchen; they make great gifts for you or someone you care about. Would you like an invitation to my party?
You will be able to browse the online catalog anytime of day or night to choose the right products for you or your family."I feel like I'm not quite on the right past so any advice will help.
Thank you.

Hi Paula, Did you get an answer to your question above?
 
Here is a Facebook outline that I use for my online parties. You may want to adjust it depending on the month specials.

This is great! I'm not familiar with Evernote. Can I save this to another format or need to sign up with Evernote? Can I copy and paste and save graphics? Then copy and paste text as appropriate? Of course I would change it up and add other things too but this would be a great template to start with. I'm new to this and wanting to try a virtual/FB party but don't know where to begin! Help is most appreciated!

Hi Toni,
You copy and paste any of the items to your own facebook posts. Just set up a group and you can be the host and use your own facebook friends to invite. Than just start copying and pasting what you want and you can change anything before you post it so that it is in your words, etc.

Toni, here is a link to my PC Group where I have done a Facebook Launch Party for my PC biz : https://www.facebook.com/groups/1058898464149002/ You can look through all the previous posts and hopefully this will help you to get some ideas. Also, this group is for my PC customers and not a group for PC consultants. You are welcome to view the site for ideas, but only hosts, guests, etc can be members of this VIP Facebook group. Maybe I should start a newbie Facebook Group for all of us new consultants? In Joy, Patsy

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key elements to include in a Facebook party invitation?

When creating a Facebook party invitation, be sure to include the date and time of the event, a brief description of what guests can expect, and a link to RSVP. Additionally, highlight any special promotions or giveaways that will be featured during the party to entice guests to join.

How can I engage guests during the Facebook party?

Engagement is crucial for a successful Facebook party. Use interactive posts such as polls, quizzes, and questions to encourage participation. You can also host live demonstrations of Pampered Chef products, share cooking tips, and encourage guests to share their own experiences or recipes using the products.

What types of content should I share during the party?

Share a mix of content that includes product highlights, cooking tips, recipe ideas, and customer testimonials. Use eye-catching images and videos to showcase the products in action. Additionally, consider sharing exclusive offers or discounts available only to party attendees to create a sense of urgency.

How can I encourage guests to invite their friends to the Facebook party?

Encourage guests to invite their friends by offering incentives, such as a prize drawing for those who bring additional guests. You can also create a shareable post that guests can easily share on their own timelines, promoting the event and highlighting what makes it special.

What should I do after the Facebook party ends?

After the party, follow up with all attendees by thanking them for participating and sharing a recap of the event. Send out any promised materials, such as recipes or product links, and remind them of any ongoing promotions. This is also a great time to ask for feedback and gauge interest in future parties or products.
