Ideas for Scheduling More Jewelry Parties

© by Rena Klingenberg; all rights reserved

Here are some ways to get more jewelry parties booked:

* Promote your irresistible host / hostess incentives (see Jewelry Home Party Success Tips for tips on incentives). Send your customer list an email or a snail-mail postcard promoting the benefits to them of hosting a party.

* Take your jewelry parties where people are. Offer to do lunch-hour / breaktime / after-hours jewelry trunk shows in people's workplaces, local lunch restaurants, happy-hour hotspots, resorts, etc. Reward the business owner and / or the employee who arranges the show with the same incentives you'd award to a party host.

* Consider doing men's jewelry parties. Gentlemen need to get their gift shopping done, and it can be an enormous help to them if you offer jewelry parties / trunk shows where they and their buddies can take care of this responsibility with your expert assistance.

* Offer some new and different jewelry party formats. Lorri Ely's ebook, How to Run a Home-Based Jewelry Party Business, has some excellent ideas for this.

* Offer online jewelry parties. Party hosts can invite "guests" anywhere on the planet to come and shop on your website during a specified time period.

* Offer various organizations the opportunity to host a fundraiser jewelry party - but instead of rewarding them with host benefits, you'll donate a percentage of sales to the charity of their choice.

Hope these ideas help jump-start some new jewelry parties for you!
