f Party Games Facebook parties are a great way to have an impromptu party. It’s also a great way to book that Hostess that just doesn’t want to take time to do a home party! Some of you say “without party games, it’s so boring” - but you don’t have to give them up just because you’re throwing a virtual party! Why bother with party games online? Hands down - they help engagement activity with the guests! They also help break the ice, get everyone chatting, and increase the likelihood of a purchase come party time! Involved guests usually equate to shopping guests. Another great thing to
bring them alive is for you to GO LIVE! If you are doing a drawing, or just to chat whey they comment and type, having that one-onone interaction before, during and after the party is a great way to boost party totals! Here are some online games that we’ve found to be a huge success! Try a few and see how they improve your party stats! • 31 Boggle - Give guests five minutes to see how many words they can make from the letters in Thirty-One Gifts • Product Scrambler Scramble the letters of the names of 1015 products from your website. Give the first guest to unscramble each word a point. The

What’s a Home Office Lead? We tend to think they are like little diamonds in the rough! If you polish them, they might just brighten up to be your next team member! How do I get them? By being a Senior Consultant or above, having $1,000 in PV the previous month, one personal recruit the previous month, and an active MyThirtyOne website. What do I do with them? They’ve expressed an interest in Thirty-One either for booking a party or wanting info on the business. You should initially tailor your response to their request, but always remember to at least share additional info. More perks? Okay! When you qualify for Home Office leads 3 out of 6 months (FebJuly), you’ll be eligible to purchase a FW Opportunity Kit in August!
