Is a Fall Mystery Host Event Worth It for My Small Business?

[luvinpc]

I have never done a mystery host before and have been thinking of trying one. I have seen lots of info with 10 people at $100. Anyway ever done a smaller one, say 10 at $50? What would be the easiest way to try it for a first time, through an email and then just do draw at home and circulate winners or have it at an fall event where you draw the winners right there. I haven't decided if a fall event (open house) would be worth my time, effort and expense of renting a place in town at the moment. Thanks!

Yes, it is possible to do a mystery host for 10 people at $50. You can set up the mystery host through email in order to make it easier for yourself and your guests. You can have each person submit their $50 payment to you upfront, or you can provide a link for each person to pay separately. Then, you can use a random number generator to draw the winners and email them their prizes. Alternatively, you could also hold a fall event where you draw the winners right there. Your decision whether or not to do an open house will depend on your own budget and time constraints.

It is definitely possible to do a smaller mystery host party with 10 people at $50. The easiest way to do it would be to send out an email inviting people to participate and then do a draw at home and circulate the winners. This way, you can save on the expense of renting a place and also make it more convenient for your guests to participate.However, if you do decide to have a fall event and want to do the mystery host party there, you can still make it work. You can set up a designated area for the mystery host party and have a drawing at the end of the event. This way, you can still have the opportunity to interact with your guests and potentially make more sales during the event.Ultimately, it depends on your preference and what you think will work best for you and your business. Whichever option you choose, make sure to promote the mystery host party beforehand and make it exciting for your guests to participate. Good luck!
