Three Inexpensive Ways To Jump Start Your Home Party Plan Business

Have you dabbled with the thought of joining one of the many home party plan business

opportunities that are available today? Or maybe you are currently involved in a great business but don't have the money available to promote it. Either way you shouldn't worry because there are many great ways to promote your business at little or no cost to you. Here are three ideas that can fit even the tightest budgets.

1. Start a free blog. Many direct sales companies offer a website for their reps to promote their home party plan business online. This is a great tool but keep in mind that all the reps in your company are using the same website to promote their business. So how do you stand out? Start a blog that links to your website! Update your blog often with direct sales information such as customer specials and information about joining your team, and eventually you should start receiving targeted traffic to your blog.

If blogging sounds a bit intimidating don't worry. Sites such as blogger.com are free to use and fairly user friendly. You can also find free tutorials online to help you get started.

2. Host a party or open house of your own. One of the hardest parts about building a successful home party plan business is getting those first few bookings. If you are having trouble getting bookings or your sales are down then consider hosting a party or an open house of your own. If you are just starting out invite all of your family and friends and encourage them to bring friends and coworkers. If you are trying to jumpstart a lagging business be sure to invite all past hostesses and customers. You can use this opportunity to advertise discounts that your direct sales company is offering play games and even have a door prize. If you can afford it, offer a small gift to those who bring a friend. These gifts should reflect your company. For example, if you are involved in a direct sales company sells candles of all shapes and sizes, giving out a set of votive candles or tealites shouldn't be that expensive. Place a couple of tea lights in some pretty netting (found in craft stores) and tie with a ribbon. Hand these out to anyone who brings a friend.

There are extra costs involved with hosting your own party or open house such as refreshments, extra catalogs and invitations. However this is also a great opportunity to sell off excess inventory. Use the money earned from selling off excess inventory to invest back into you business such as purchasing catalogs, paperwork and new inventory to display at your home shows.

2. Hand out business cards. When you start your new direct sales business you want to make sure that you have plenty of business cards on hand. No need to purchase these when you can make your own on your computer or even get free business cards from various online companies that are competing for your business.
