Assess Your Guests

Anything you know about your party guests/audience helps you to do better and more profitable party. Before you start. size up see what interests and attributes you have of the crowd before you. For instance:
Moms? Business professionals? Mother/daughters? Old? Young? Straight? Gay? Moderately rich? Teachers? Nurses? If you know there are gay women at the party, whether you’ve come upon this information directly from them or an inside tip from your hostess, do not make the gals feel uncomfortable by dwelling upon references to heterosexual relationships. You could switch to using terms like “your honey” instead of “your man”. You will work a sorority sisterhood differently than a group dropping in after church.

I love to
ask in the very beginning, “How many ladies have previously attended a SEX TOY Party? This way, I can get a feel for the sexual knowledge level of the group in regard to our products. Especially, if most of the women have frequented two to ten of my parties, I don’t want to bore them with what they already know. In this case I would mix up my usual demo routine and focus more on new items. With repeat partygoers, I enlist their help with relating information on their favorites. I play on what I know about the gals. I strive to keep it fresh.

Personally, I love having naughty nurses at the show. I like to enlist their comments and expertise, especially when it comes to the male P-spot. If you have a group of teachers, God help you. This giddy group can revert to 6th grade behavior in a heartbeat. On occasion you may find yourself entertaining hearing-impaired individuals. Slow down a little and allow someone to sign for you. This can be fun and educational for everyone. Likewise, for someone who doesn’t speak English. You can have a designated interpreter and encourage the non-native to share slang words for sexual body parts. Always try to make everyone feel very much a part of what is going on.

Once upon a time, in 1984, a woman named Rina Valan was frustrated about the limits placed on women in the business world and in their personal relationships. Back then, you literally had one choice: raise a family or have a career. In addition, if women complained of lack of pleasure with a partner, it was just assumed she was ‘frigid.’ Those choices were just not acceptable to Rina, and so her mission because clear to be that champion for the financial and personal well-being of women and their partners. With a $10,000 loan from her mother and drawing out all her cash advances on credit cards, in August 1984 Rina started Fantasia Home Parties in a small dusty warehouse in Elizabeth, NJ. She loved her 3 year old daughter so much that she could not bear to leave her with a sitter, so she took her to work every day. In the evenings would train new consultants so they could sell at home parties and be able to support their families AND be there to take care of them too. Today, Rina and her daughter, Emily, still work side by side. So 30 years later, Fantasia Home Parties stands as the pioneer and leader in romance home parties. As one of the founding member of CAHPA (Certified Adult Home Party Association), Fantasia continues to forge the trail and we make it possible for women to be equals in matters of the heart, personal pleasure, or providing income for themselves and family. Some of us do it in pink high heels or sneakers, some are single or married, some are single moms, or some of us are even taking care of own moms. With over 33 years of executive experience in the Home Party and Direct Selling business, her personal attention and real life experience is the backbone of our team. It is not unusual that she shares her working experience daily by coaching and with personal support with both new and experienced consultants.
