“I’m NOT the home party type.”

Well, it’s been eight months since I started my own Thirty-One business and I have to say that I’ve heard this line a few times.  Here’s a big surprise for you: I am also NOT the home party type.  At least I thought I wasn’t until I started having home parties for Thirty-One.  

Home parties are fantastic for a number of reasons.  Here are just a few:
  1. We are all busy.
  2. We don’t have time to see our friends.
  3. We love our friends.
  4. We don’t have time to shop.
  5. We love to shop.
  6. We haven’t had a girl’s night in ages.
  7. We miss hanging out with our friends.
  8. We love getting great deals.
  9. We all need to buy gifts for friends, family and ourselves.
  10. Home entertaining is a great way to bring our friends closer together and meet new friends.
So, Why Should I Host a Thirty-One Home Party?
Honestly, the rewards are incredible!  My average party has $655.00 in sales, which earns the Hostess over $98 in free product, three half price items and a great deal on the monthly Hostess Incentive as well as her choice of a Hostess Exclusive Item - either a Rolling Tote or a Garment Bag.  You could end up with an amazing assortment of Thirty-One items at a fraction of the cost.  My Hostesses usually earn so much, they ask me to help them decide on what to get with their rewards!

When Should I Host My Party?
Whenever you want!  Do you want an evening party in your home?  Or a party at a local restaurant or coffee house?  What about having a brunch or coffee break party?  How about a midday or at work party?  The key is to have the party when you and your friends are available.  We can schedule almost anything.  I usually offer certain ‘hot dates’ on my calendar that are my most available times but I am also quite flexible and can work with you to arrange your party date to work with your schedule.

How Do I Host a Party?
Just say the word and we'll get your Party date on my calendar.  I will provide you with everything you need to prepare for your party and will even mail your invitations with your postage for you if you'd like.  You'll be supplied with catalogs, order forms, party invite post cards, personalization ideas, a handy order totaling cheat sheet and more.  I can set up your event as a Facebook event and you can invite your guests from there.  I can even provide you with a few samples of our quality products to show people who might not have heard of Thirty-One before.  When it's time for your party, I'll arrive 30 minutes before to set up the items that are of the most interest to you and your friends and greet your guests. My most favorite part about parties is meeting new people!

Then What Happens?
Your guests arrive, we all talk, laugh, hang-out, get to know each other and view the products. I will welcome everyone with a very short introduction, describe the Customer and Hostess Specials and give a product demonstration – this all only takes about 10 minutes or less.  We can play a game or not – depends on what you would like to do.  Then your guests fill out their order forms with or without my help and decide on which products to buy – we can all help with personalization ideas!  I do a prize drawing at every party so that we have a few winners!  Why?  Because winning prizes is awesome!!!

Then comes the super fun part – at the end of your party, I’ll tally up your total sales and you get to choose your Hostess Rewards.  You'll get free products, half-priced products and with parties over $500, you'll even get free shipping on your order.  Most importantly, you have my support to follow through with delivery of quality products to make you and your party guests smile.  I'm here for customer service after your party so that everyone is happy with their purchase.
