We are even more astounded about on-line marketing because of understanding how the youger generation communicate with the outside world with their technology. My 13 year old nephew just sent me a site they had developed to keep track of areas of interest for their classmates. They needed to know how one could generate marketing on the system to . so proud of them.

Thanks for posting that Greg. It sounds like your friend is up front about why he’s inviting people over, which is great. And it’s good to hear that it’s working for him. It was the old deceptive practices that I didn’t like. It sounds like his friends are quite enthusiastic about the parties too since they’re bringing other friends.

One of my good friends does weekly networking parties at his house to promote whatever network marketing opportunity he’s doing at that time. They are usually well attended and do get him direct signups at the end of the party. I went to one and listened once and he doesn’t make it sound like a sales pitch at all, more of a “come, let’s meet and talk about opportunities that I have going on right now” and then friends invite friends, who invite friends, etc. Seems to do pretty well for him.

Nice and interesting blog.I agree with you on reviving those distributor buy-in parties of the 80’s this is an issue which is always there in between me and my friend…

Hi Chris. Thanks for commenting.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend reviving those distributor buy-in parties of the 80’s, because if I recall, some of them used deceptive practices. Friends might be invited over for dinner with no mention of the business opportunity presentation that would be made. I prefer complete transparency.

I pictured parties more like the preview of new products you mentioned or some other kind of demonstration. For example, with Tupperware you might offer a class or demonstration on organizing the pantry or cooking with kids.

I don’t know… like you said, it might work better in some markets than in others, and some product lines might be more easily adapted to something like this.

Or maybe it’s just not one of my better ideas.

No I have not heard of this before, but it congers up to mind something of an Open House where those in DS would present their wares but have no real items for sale per se. Many use this format when they are kicking off their new business or during the Holidays to show the new wares before the catalog comes out,

So carrying it over into a marketing party is an interesting twist. Would it work in my community? Not sure. It also brings to mind of the parties in the 80’s where you were brought in to buy into distributorships or distributions of product.

hmmmm Interesting
