Has anyone hosted a House Party party?

I'm scheduled for one in October and it looks fun but . . . a little scary! If you've done one, how what was your product and were people wary about the party? Like did they think is was like a Tupperware party and they'd have to buy something? Did you feel like you had to do a big sales pitch?

Yes I have done it a few times and it went great. It is basically like sharing a product by spreading wod of mouth (sort of like Bzzz).

Never heard of it - but sounds interesting!

Good luck!

I've never heard of it, either. You'll have to let us know how it goes!

I have never heard of it either, but I may sign up for the heck of it

So are you getting lots of free product from this? Does someone come to you house to help with it or do you just do it on your own?

I'm on my own to put on the party, but you always get a package with things to give the guests. Here is the list for this one (my first):

Quote:

Party hosts all across the country are about to get their Green Works® Kids Clothing Swap House Party package. Inside your FREE party pack you’ll find:
• (1 pack) Sierra Club note cards
• (2) Brita® FilterForGood® reusable Nalgene® bottles
• (14) Green Works™ natural laundry detergent samples
• (14) Green Works™ Natural Cleaning Wipes samples
• (14) Green Works™ seed packets
• (14) GE Reveal® CFL Light Bulb coupons
• (14) Burt’s Bees® 25th Anniversary Lip Balm and Lotion samples
• (14) Brita® coupons
• (14) Handi-Wipes® coupons

Sounds good, doesn't it? I love the idea of inviting people to a commercial party of sorts, but instead of hitting them up to buy overpriced stuff, I GIVE them things to take home!
