I think one of the most frequently asked questions about home parties is, "How can I find hostesses?"
My suggestion is to host the first party yourself. Invite your friends, relatives and neighbors. When I've hosted parties, I can easily come up with fifty people to invite. Not all fifty are available to come but if even half come, I end up with twenty-five people at the party.
Quite often, you'll find one or two people from your own party that are willing to host their own party for you.
Once this system runs dry, there are other ways to find party hostesses that are strangers to you right now:
1. Approach women in businesses and offer to do a lunch time party for them. You'll bring the lunch if they'll allow you to show them your products.
2. Ask your co-workers and even previous co-workers if they'd like to host a party for you.
3. Ask your children's school or teacher if you can do a party for the teachers/staff during their lunch time. If you can't, perhaps one of the teachers will host a home party for you.
4. Do you belong to a church or synagogue? If so, post a notice asking for hostesses for your home parties. If they have a website or news bulletin, inquire about placing an ad seeking hostesses.
5. I've been told that hostesses have been found by randomly mailing people out of the local phone book and sharing with them via your mailing the free products they can receive for hosting a party.
6. Ask your current customers if they'd like to host a party. If they don't want to host a home party, perhaps they'll host a catalog party for you.
7. Set up a booth at a local fair or bazaar and have a form available with the hostess information and ask those who stop by your booth if they'd like to host a party.
8. Attend fairs and bazaars and discreetly offer party information to those whose booths you visit. You just may find a hostess out of someone who sells something non-competing.
9. Place an ad on Craigslist or other classified services asking for party hostesses. Please read the rules of the site you're visiting and make sure your ad follows the site's guidelines and rules.
10. Speak with a few non profits in town. Ask if they'd like to hold a party as a fundraiser and then help them raise money for their organization.
As you can see, the ideas are endless on ways to find hostesses if you want to have home parties.
