Hello!

As you figured I am queen of frugal yet tasteful. One of the biggest challenges I find home party consultants face is how to say thank you to home party attendees, home party hosts & home party recruits! I found those little candle sandal party favors online and they are $.49 not bad!

Thank-you it is said, is the mark of an educated individual. You can do it many different way and home party favors are a great and stylish way to set yourself apart from the rest of the home party consultant crowd. Statistics indicate that when it comes down to it, if there are no other competing influences, people will always choose based on price difference. Want to increase home party plan sales? Want to stand apart from other home party sales representatives? I recommend party favors. They need not be expensive. They only need to be personal and thoughtful!

To set the stage for your in home party, I recommend that you have one of your lovely children hand out door prizes as your home party guests arrive! I know you have a closet chalkful of gifts, trinkets and what-nots that you have acquired over the years. Now that your own home party plan direct selling business those vases and candles that you will never use, will now come in handy. Aren’t you glad you trusted your instincts and kept the odds and end?

The other complaint I get is once you have been to one home party, you have been to them all! Like me with my Sunday School, keep the attendees interested dilemma, it falls upon you the home party business owner to keep home party goers interested! You also want to be the home party consultant that everyone is talking about! I can assure you that you will see an increase in home party sales & home party recruits!

I’m such a big fan of things you can make yourself! So much so that two years ago I saw a swedish style bed that I loved, You know what I did? Instead of buying one, I decided to do it myself. Best bed I ever had and the complements I received…! The possibilities for party favors are endless. You can still give elegant favors without breaking the bank. Behold:
10 Home Party Favors You Can Make Yourself:

1. Dish Home Party Recipes: Get a collection of your best, very easy to prepare summer recipes. If you have a home party that is involved in the food industry, this is a great way to get the word out. You can also slip your home party business catalog along with your thank-you party favor!
2. Home Party Games: As a home party consultant, have a list or stack of fun friendly home party games is a must. You are building a home party business of course to make home party sales, acquire customers and also attract home party recruits who will in turn build their own home party businesses and thereby leverage your efforts. The ideas you share will no doubt go along way in enticing people to work with you or use for their own home parties.
3. One can never go wrong with a home-made thank you card! I just love receiving those. They are time consuming so it is nice to know that someone thought me to be worth the time. I cannot emphasize enough the weight that the personal touch carries. Remember the good old days of house calls? What? Exactly! When was the last time the doctor came calling to your home? If at all possible hand deliver your home party thank-you favors!
4. Home-made salts and scrubs! I love these a lot again the personal touch! Need I say more? You can make these in bulk and voila! Home party maven in the house.
5. Cookies - Can’t go wrong with a good chocolate chip cookie. Make and decorate your own cookies. Look for cookie cutters matching your theme purses, shoes etc.
6. Hugs & Kisses - Ha ha we could all use a few of those on a regular basis! Buy some tulle bags, decorative ribbon and bags of Hershey’s Kisses & Hugs. Put several Kisses & Hugs in each bag. Your home party guests will love the sweet treat.
7. Lollipop bouquets - Give your guests lollipop bouquets tied with a decorative ribbon.
6. Gourmet coffee, tea or hot chocolate - Measure coffee, Tea or hot chocolate into decorative bags and tie with a ribbon.
