Where To Find People To Donate Prizes To
A super way to make direct sales parties both memorable and fun is by donating prizes to a few choice guests. Often it’s pretty tough to find people to donate prizes to, but here are some tips to find them and have fun at the same time.
Most people are a bit competitive by nature, some more than others. Playing a game is a great way to get the party started. It not only helps people become acquainted, but it also adds a bit of playful competition to the festivities.
Games can be just about anything you can think of. It can be a trivia game about your products and company or a little tougher game of skill and strategy. Games also provide you with the perfect opportunity to find people to donate prizes to. Depending on how many prizes you want to give away and how much time you have, you can award first, second, and third place prizes. Another option is to play a couple games and the first place winner of each game gets a prize. Just try to make sure the same person doesn’t win each time.
Another great way to find people to donate prizes to is to have a drawing. Each party guest is encouraged to enter the drawing. Now you can award a first, second, and third place prize to the names that you draw. Of course, if you have more prizes to give away, you can keep drawing and donate prizes as you go.
Having drawings is also a great way to generate leads. Instead of having people just put their name on a slip of paper, you can actually have them fill out a pre-printed postcard or form.
Information you should consider asking for:
- Name
- Address
- Phone number
- Email address
- If they’re interested in becoming a consultant
- If they’re interested in hosting a party (and earning free gifts)
When you set up your drawing this way, it offers two benefits. First, it gives you real, live leads to build your business. Second, you now have the opportunity to award the prizes either at the show or after the show at a later date. You can then call people to let them know they’ve won. Be sure you don’t let this information go to waste. Use it to your advantage to send out promotional information and announce new products.
Whether you choose to play games or host a drawing, giving prizes away is a wonderful way to introduce new people to your products and add future customers.
