Good Home Party Show Game

I have always maintained that the only good party game to play at your home show is one that serves a purpose for everyone involved. This game was one I saw on Art Jonak’s Facebook wall.

He presented it as a game to play in a restaurant with friends.  Don’t you hate it when you are out to dinner and everyone is on the phone, Facebook or texting…. This looks like fun!

Played in a restaurant or at your home show this game will improve the quality of your time. With some small changes this game is perfect for the home party show!

Home Party = Increase Sales

The value at the home party of this game is that everyone will be more attentive, sales will increase and guests will have fun, laugh and hopefully both the hostess and the consultant will have increased benefits.

The purpose of the game is to get everyone off their phones, away from Twitter, Facebook, texting, etc. and to encourage conversation. In other words, help cure the anti-social behavior that technology creates.

Everyone puts their phones in the middle of the room on a table. Whoever cracks first by touching their phone has a penalty. You can create a system of violations and rewards that match your business.

“Don’t Be Anti-Social” Show Game

The rules for the “Don’t Be Anti-Social” cell phone show game are:

• The game starts after everyone sits down and as soon as the show starts.
• Everybody places their phone in the middle of the room on a table.
• The first person to touch their phone loses the game and others get violation points.
• Loser of the game has some sort of penalty and subsequent violators accumulate the penalty points. (In a restaurant the loser pays the bill for everyone’s meal).
• At the end of the show anyone who as not touched their phone is declared a winner.

Cell Phones In Restaurants

I plan on trying this game next time I am out to dinner with my teenage nieces! I am sure it will be a stretch for them!! LOL

With adults in a restaurant, it could really be a blast. Try it at your show, I bet conversation will rock and everyone will have fun.

Are You Game? Are you willing to turn the tide of anti-social behavior? What do you think?!?

Home Party Games Bring Value

When playing games at your home party show the goal is to bring value to everyone involved.

There are several things that every party plan consultant should try to accomplish with each home party plan game.

• Fun for guests
• Increased benefits for host
• Increased benefit for the consultant

If a game is not bringing value to everyone involved then don’t play it.

The primary purpose is to make the game enjoyable for everyone and give all of your attendees the feeling that they had a good time.

Games To Increase Sales

A game that gets your attendees to look closely at your product catalog is a good one because it will get them to start thinking about all of the products they want to own.

If your attendees had a good time at the event and they have a list of products they would like to purchase, then they become candidates for hosting future events.

When you put together a home party plan game, you need to create rules that encourage the attendees to want to participate, inspire them to become interested in more products and get attendees to have fun. There are a couple of games you can try that should help increase future bookings and allow your business to grow.

Direct Sales Show Product Trivia

When it comes to developing games for your event, it always helps to have activities that are appealing to large groups of people. Trivia games are always fun and you can also help your event by keeping your trivia questions centered on your products.

You need to develop lists of questions that have your products as answers.

For example, if you are a cosmetic consultant a question could be about the hot new color for lip gloss in the new Spring line-up. Then your guests will be paying closer attention to the catalog as they leaf through it. Each correct answer would be worth one point and the person with the most points at the end gets a door prize.

These kinds of guessing games are always fun and they force your attendees to browse through your catalog if they want to win the door prize.

Home Party Team Or Show Game – Product Password

This game can be played at your team meetings or at home parties. Like home sh0w games a team training game should also provide value for all involved.
Password is a game where one person gives clues about an object to a partner and the partner has to guess what that object is. You can have the attendees break up into teams of two and then give each team six passwords each. The passwords are all products in the catalog. Each correct guess is a point and the team with the most points at the end of the game wins door prizes.

Games can be effective ways to engage people. When they look closer at the catalog and they will see more that they want and then either buy or decide to host your next event.

Once you get your attendees interested in your products and having a good time at your event, you increase the chances that you will find others interested in hosting a future gathering.

Home Party Plan Bookings Game

As a home party plan consultant, you rely on bookings to keep your business going. To make a good living in this business, these parties should be dynamic and outrageously fun! You want every guest to go home with a smile on her face, a good story to tell, and a bag of products she just purchased from your home party!

More Fun = More Bookings! It is really that simple!

To get guests to open their purses and pull out their checkbooks and credit cards, you need to liven things up. Get the party going! The best way to liven things up, besides opening the wine, is to play some great party games. Games get the guests talking and LAUGHING!

Make Sure Home Party Games Are FUN!

Make sure what ever game you play at your home parties that it is FUN! IF not, then it will do the reverse of what you want…. it will hurt bookings!

There are so many great games to play that you should never run out of ideas. You can also modify and change games you played in the past to create new ones. As long as the game is relatively simple, makes people laugh, and can be played by a room full of people, it will probably be worth a try.

As a home party plan consultant, you know you have to spend time marketing and promoting your business. However, some of your time should also be spent researching or creating new games. It is one of the most important pieces of your business Search the Internet, talk to other direct sales consultants, or put on your creative thinking cap and make up some games of your own. Games equal fun, and fun equals sales!

Play The “Price Is Right” Game

One of the best home party games to play is the Price is Right game, modeled after the popular game show. Besides being fun, this is a fun alternative way to present and describe your products.

You’ll need to select several of your products to use for the game. Choose three participants each time you bid on a item – just like the real Price is Right.

However, when someone wins, they receive a ticket. You can play several rounds, but make certain that every guest gets to bid the same number of times. The person with the most tickets at the end of the game wins a prize, and the guest with the second most tickets, wins a different prize.

With the Price is Right game, you have presented your product line in a enjoyable and interactive way, while also allowing the guests the opportunity to win prizes. These types of games are one of the cornerstones of your home party plan business and will help you boost sales and increase profits while having tons of fun!

Home parties are becoming more and more popular, selling everything from kitchen accessories to jewelry. One of the reasons is that they provide a way to get several things done in one sitting, and all busy women are fans of multitasking, right?

Women are even more receptive to shopping and buying new things when they are comfortable, relaxed and enjoying themselves. Shopping is never fun when you’re stressed, overwhelmed and uncomfortable.

It’s up to the party plan consultant to make the party environment inviting and entertaining. Home party plan games are one way to set the stage for a successful party. Not only do they help guests get to know one another, they can help break the ice, introduce new products, and get guests active and involved.

Home Party Plan Fun Means Bookings

Fun is the key element at a home party so make sure that you can create fun and excitement with your games and they will surely aid in booking more shows. The more enthusiastic guests are, the more likely they are to purchase the products or book a show. It is all about FUN!

Below are three of the best home party plan games to try at your next party.

The Toilet Paper Show Icebreaker Game

This show game is sure to get your guests laughing and is a great icebreaker. Pass around a roll of toilet paper, and ask each guest to tear off a piece. Don’t let them know what it’s for, and let them know that the piece can be as long as they would like.

When everyone has torn off some toilet paper, let them know that they will have to tell the other guests something about themselves for every square of toilet paper they are holding. This is a great way for the hostess and consultant to introduce themselves and talk about the benefits of working as a direct sales consultant.

Home Party Company Products On The Floor

Use this game to get guests involved and introduce some of the products. Ask guests to write their names and favorite product, and put them in a bowl. Place three or four small product prizes on the floor. Read off a name from the bowl. That guest can select a prize from the floor and explain why they love the product. After all the prizes are picked up, the next person whose name is read will have to take a prize from one of the guests holding it. After everyone’s name is read, the guests holding the prizes win.

This game is great for sales because the audience will believe their friends more than they believe you.

Roll Dice – Book Next Home Party

It is important to explain the game in advance so guests do not feel pressured to schedule a home party if they are not interested. They can choose not to play if they want.

Part of the success of home parties is based on keeping the ball—or the dice, in this case—rolling and continually booking future parties. With this game, 11 numbered envelopes are set on a table. One has a card in it that says “Grand Prize.” The others have an option to either win a prize or book a show. Decide beforehand what the grand prize and other prizes will be and let the guests see what they can win if they roll the number that corresponds with one of those envelopes. Each guest will roll the dice and pick up the corresponding envelope.

Anyone who received a “Book a Show” envelope can schedule the next show with the party plan consultant before leaving that night. Gambling is always fun. Guests will be excited about the possibility of winning a prize, and the consultant will be sure to line up several more parties.

Home Show Games For FUN and BOOKINGS!

If you play games at your home show make sure they are FUN for the guests and serve a purpose for you, the consultant. If you do not get bookings, increase sales or find new consultants as a result of playing games then do not waste your time doing them.

Games must be FUN for the guests or they will be counter productive!

2 Direct Sale Show Games to Increase Bookings

In the direct sales industry, getting show bookings for shows is crucial to your success. If you don’t have shows booked, you don’t make any sales; if you don’t make any sales, you don’t earn any money. Many people end up quitting their direct sales job because they can’t get enough bookings each month. Some are too timid and others just don’t know how to go about getting more people to book a show. Home party plan games work great for almost any show, no matter what you are selling. Try a home party plan game at your next show and watch your bookings increase.

The Deal or No Deal Party Game:

For this game you will allow guests to choose an envelope (or jewelry box or other appropriate container) which contains a prize. Guests will each take one, prior to learning how the game works, and then have the chance to take the deal and open the envelope or not do the deal and hand it back to you after learning how the game works. Make up enough envelopes so everyone can take one and fill about two-thirds with a prize plus a paper stating “host a fun-filled (company name) show with me!” The prizes can be a free shipping coupon, $25 off your order, or a coupon for a free item. Tell the guests that the only rule is that if they do the deal they must honor the prize and that you will also honor it. You could easily get two or three bookings from a 15-guest show with this home party plan game.

Ribbon BOOKINGS Show Game:

I kind of like this bookings game for jewelry shows. Tie three ribbons on your host’s wrist (or you could use jewelry) and tell the guests that for each show booked tonight, the host will get to remove one ribbon. If all three are removed the host gets a special gift. Guests will be excited to see if they all get removed and are more likely to book a show if their friend gets a prize.
