That being said, I do want my
parties to be fun and inviting so that my guests want to come to more parties
and they want to have parties of their own.
So I have adopted one “game” that I use throughout my show and it really
does engage the guests and if you have a really rowdy bunch, it can make the
show a hundred times more fun for them.
This “game” is called the purse game.
The purse game is easily adaptable so you can do different things with
it but I am going to tell you how I do it so you can get an idea of the
structure.
I explain the game to my guests at
the beginning of the party like this: “Ladies, we are going to play a game
throughout the party and receive tickets for some fabulous prizes at the end of
the party. I need you ladies to pull out
your purses. I have some cards here in
my hands and each card has a letter on the front of it. Each letter stands for something I want to
share with you tonight. When I turn the
card over so that you can see the letter, dig through your purses and find
something in there that begins with the same letter that is on the card, pull
it out, yell out what it is and if you are the first one (you can use the first
two if there are 10 or more at your party) then you get a ticket!!! The lady with the most tickets at the end of
the party will get to choose her favorite gift from my treasure box and then we
will draw for another winner. So you
want as many tickets as you can get!
Everyone understand? Great, let’s
get started!”
Then I proceed to do my entire
party using these cards. I will list the
cards that I use and what they stand for but keep in mind that you can use any
letters you want, so make it your own.
W – WISH LIST: helps them see the amount of items they want
and great for a booking tool.
P – Stands for my company’s name so introduce my company to
them at this point.
I – INTRODUCTIONS: I
have each lady tell us her name and what she would do with an extra $1,000 per
month.
This is a two-fer because I also stands for INCOME – I do my
sponsoring activity at this time.
M – MODEL: model your product here whatever it is.
G – GUARANTEE: I go
over my company’s guarantee policy
C – CARE: I tell my
guests how to take care of their products
H – HOSTESS PLAN: I
go over my company’s hostess plan, any hostess specials and then I do my booking
activity
S – SURVEY: I use a guest survey at the end of my parties so
I step the guests through each question here.
This is another two-fer because S also stands for
SPECIALS: I announce that night’s buying
specials.
Then that concludes my game and my
presentation so I have everyone count their tickets and the one with the most
gets to pick out a prize and then I draw from the other tickets for another
prize winner.
Ok DS peeps! I hope
this fun game is useful to you and adds a little different spin to your
parties!
