If you can't find the time to host a purse party at your house, you should consider hosting an online party. Instead of spending the evening digging through bags at your house, your friends will simply log on to your sales site to find a great purse.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Host a Virtual Purse Party Online

Step1
Set up an account with a purse party company. There are several to choose from that offer online parties. Pick a company that offers purses that you think your friends will actually buy.
Step2
Read through all the details of hosting a virtual party with your vendor. Some let you promote the party openly, while others require that the invitations come directly from them to avoid hosts spamming people.
Step3
Gather the email addresses of all your close friends and family. Most companies have a 15 guest minimum, but you should strive for more than that so you can earn your commission.
Step4
Decide how long you want your party to last. You want to give your online guests enough time to think about it. A week is usually sufficient time.
Step5
Make sure you have copies of the link to your party, the password required to enter your store and any discount codes that are available. Each company works differently, so be sure you have what you need.
Step6
Invite your friends to the party. Make sure that your email is enticing, so be sure any discounts are prominent. You will want to send out an email a few days before the party, and then again on the day the online party starts.
Step7
Remind your friends to shop. You still need to host the virtual party, pushing your friends to buy from your site.
Step8
Sit back and relax as your sales rack up. A few days after your sale, you should receive order statistics with the number of purses sold and how much you earned. You usually get extra commission if your guests sign up to host their own online party.

Tips & Warnings

  • Online parties are a great alternative to hosting a party in your home, since there are no upfront costs and no added costs of party supplies.
  • Many more sales are needed at an online sale to earn discounts and free purses. Check with the company hosting your online purse party to find out exactly how many sales you need to qualify for payment.
