Facebook parties are all the rage these days- any given week it seems like you can attend a party for any type of product you wish. It is the preferred method of delivery for people like me- young kids at home, busy and can’t always commit to the “in home experience”.
Generally- the rules for a Facebook party are as follows:
Invitations- depending on your perspective this can range from a mass Facebook invite (which I don’t personally recommend) or the hostess going person to person extending invitations. You may be wondering why I don’t recommend the mass Facebook invite- it can be a one-way ticket to the NFL (no friends left) club. These days it seems like we have more Facebook invites than we have time to respond to and you may find your party goals don’t get met when you don’t take the time to let people know what you’re doing and that you want them to come. TRUST ME: a personal invite goes a LONG way.
Time duration- this is where it can get tricky. Some people have had great results with the 2 week-long Facebook party others like the Tag Team have made their mark in direct sales with a 30 minute Facebook party. Duration really is key because this will determine how many posts you need and how quickly you will schedule them.
The first time I held a Facebook party, the other hostesses and myself used a script and posted every 3 minutes. For a busy mom, this can be SUPER tricky and stressful. I did this party with my kids asking for snacks, fighting, and through a diaper change. Doing that while also being mindful of the time (to make sure you don’t miss a post) was super stressful and I didn’t feel like I got to be actively engaged with the guests like I had hoped.
So what is a busy mom to do? How do you work your business AND be there for the kids while you do it? Enter Cinchshare !
Why I love Cinchshare?
- It can schedule your posts in your group and your Facebook fan pages AHEAD of time. I can do my scheduling on Facebook for the whole week in under an hour. HUGE time saver and can help you stay more actively involved with your group since you can schedule more consistent posts!
- It can also schedule posts for your EVENTS! That is right, no more 3 minute posts and bribing the kids to not disturb you while you work. The first event I did with Cinchshare, the posts were done about 3 days ahead of schedule and the party took place while I was at dinner! I was able to check in and answer questions and really get to engage with our guests.
- It is competitively priced. What is that peace of mind and potential increase to your business worth? Cinchshare handles your scheduling for $10/month. For me, it is SO worth it!
- Their customer service rocks! These ladies know the demands of network marketing/direct sales industry and they are so open to answering questions (in a recent webinar I attended they told us ALL to friend them on Facebook) and supporting you as you use their product.
Are you a Fan of the Facebook party? How do you handle your scheduling for your groups and parties?
