Steps To Having An Online Party

1. Check your schedule - you want to find a good time and date for online party. Some choose to have one in the evening or during daytime hours.

2. Find a chat room or sign up for vendor fairs - You have the option of having your own special online party or you can join a vendor fair. The plus side of joining a vendor fair is that you are not the only vendor there and others who have advertised may bring in some extra visitors. More visitors = more potential sales.

Optional: Find A Hostess - Just like in home parties you can find a hostess to do the party for you and offer them special incentives for being a party host.

3. Prepare what you are going to say - It's always good to be prepared in what you want to say when it's your time at the party. You definetly want to introduce yourself and your company. Tell the visitors a little each. Customers like to know who they are buying from. Just make sure you keep it short and simple. Then announce to everyone any specials or incentives you may be having. You may even choose to do an online party.

4. Advertise - This is one of the things you NEED to do. In order to get visitors/sales you will have to advertise. There are many places to advertise like message boards, other online communities, to friends and family, add the party info to your signature line, etc..Don't forget to post your online party events at the Witty WAHM message board!
