Party Type (Catalogue)

Catalogue parties are often seen as the easy ones, the ones where you dont have to do much as a consultant. Wrong! That is not true, these parties depend on you just as much as the others, sometimes more. You must have everything ready because you wont be there to add bits t it or take stuff out of your bag etc.

So what does it involve? Well that's the simple bit, you give the pack to the hostess who then has the party and collects the orders. But, you must make sure the hostess is VERY well coached, they must invite people individually, mass emails and texts will not cut it. They have to be enthusiastic and create the right atmosphere. They need to know the product and genuinely like the product. They need to be able to take the orders correctly and be aware of special offers such as buy one get one free and what the sisters style is. They will also need to be coached in the process of booking parties. Be at the other end of the phone if they need you.

This is what I put in the packs -

- Samples (get an idea of how many people are expected)
- Nail polish (only 1 or 2 complimentary colours)
- Alcohol pads
- Mini heater (This is optional, a hair dryer will be fine)
- Orange sticks
- Nail files
- Application instructions
- Tips and tricks page
- Website address of an application video
- Catalogues
- Order forms
- Hostess gift

Meeting the hostess for coffee before the party to go through everything will make all the difference, they can ask you questions and you can ensure they know what's going on.

Catalogue parties can be held anywhere, they can be in people homes, at work during lunch breaks, at social clubs or even in the playground!

So there you go! Catalogue parties! Have you ever done one? were you successful?
