When you sign up to sell Scentsy or another party plan business, you need to decide how you are going to market your business. Most people think party plan buisnesses are all about having parties and getting others to host parties. While that is an excellent way to make money with a party plan business, it is not the only way. Once you join Scentsy and become a Scentsy consultant, you have a lot of marketing options available to you. This article will explore these options and help you decide the vest way to market your party plan business.
The first and most obvious way to make money with a party plan business is through home paties. The first step is to have a launch party. At this party you invite anyone and everyone you know to come see your product and introduce them to your business. This is critical with a Scentsy business, because people need to see how Scentsy works in order to appreciate the product. Other businesses, such as home decor businesses also benefit from a launch party because their products change frequently. At this party you discuss the benefit of hosting a party and begin booking future parties. Thus, your business takes off.
Not everyone is comfortable with convincing people to host their own parties, however. If this is you, relax, there are other ways to make your business work. Fairs, shows and boutiques are also another great way to make monety with your business. Look for these opportunities through your city, friends, or local events calendars. Usually they require a vendor fee wich guarantees you a booth space for the event. There are positive and negative aspects to participating in fairs, shows, and boutiques. On the positive side, you meet a lot of new people and some with be interested in hosting parties, or becoming consultants themselves. However, you must be outgoing and willing to draw people to your booth. It can be difficult to know how much you will sell and what people will be interested in buying. Fortunately, if you have oter events booked in the future, you can rest assured that if a product doesn't sell at one event, it probably will sell at the next.
Fundraisers are another great way to market your party plan business. With a fundraiser you can involve school groups, charities, or anyone needing extra money in helping sell your product. You decide on the commissions you are willing to give to the charity (keeping in mind that it is a tax write-off)and set them up to start selling. With Scentsy, fundraisers are great at any time of the year, but especially during the holidays when people are looking for Christmas gifts. Once the fundraiser is complete and you have packaged the orders, make sure you have placed you business card (and a special discont offer) in each person's order so they can re-order from you in the future. A Scentsy business is great for re-orders because the products are consumable and people want to know where to get more.
All of these are great ways for making your party plan business work. You might choose one technique in particular or try all three. Whatever you do, know that your success will depend on your effort. Success does not come overnight, nor does it come without work. Be wary of any business that boasts success without effort. It really is true: there is such thing as a free lunch!
