Facebook parties are a great way to build your business. Without the restriction of your local zip code or immediate circle of friends, your business growth is truly unlimited thanks to the power of networking through FB parties. Awesome, right?!
You don't even have to wait for your kit to arrive, you can start setting up your first Facebook party right now!!!
There are a few important components of successful Facebook parties -
1. How to Invite
2. Host Coaching for Facebook Parties
3. General Facebook Training
4. Using Cinchshare (optional 3rd party site that will automate your posts)
Facebook Party Script
We have a tried-and-true script to use for your parties - literally, copy and paste - to help you get started right away. We update this script often to keep it fresh and current!Follow the script to a T for your first few times doing an FB party. Once you are more comfortable and familiar with what works and why we have things set up the way we do, you should experiment with your own ideas, add your own videos and wording, etc. But, for now, just follow the script!!
Read the WHOLE script SEVERAL times before you do your first party - there are MANY tidbits and pointers in the script to help you out, including specific directions on how to set up your event on Facebook.
TIP: Print the script so you can take notes and highlight important reminders for yourself!
SCRIPT IS LOCATED IN THE FILES ON TEAM BELIEVE & ACHIEVE FACEBOOK GROUP
Important Note: All of the customer and hostess specials/prizes mentioned in the script (including the free book giveaway, refunded shipping on orders of $100+, and additional $20 in free books on the booking post) are the responsibility of the consultant to provide--these are not provided by Usborne Books & More. This means that it is your right to choose not to provide them, or to do something different. However, just like the script itself, we have found these incentives to be a tried-and-true means of increasing party attendance, sales, and bookings. Talk to your team leader or sponsor about how many of these incentives can be offered at minimal cost to you.
Once you are familiar with the script, you'll need to set up the shopping link for your party guests to shop on!
Creating Your eCommerce Shopping Link
You will create a new shopping link for each party you do. You do this from your eCommerce (yourID.myubam.com) site. This super-short video shows you step-by-step how to create that shopping link.
Graphics for FB/Party Posts
You can find lots of good graphics (including what you need for parties) in the albums on the Team Believe & Achieve page. Before using any graphics, please make sure that no books shown are out of print.
Additionally, UBAM has VERY STRICT policies on graphics, including fonts/colors/logos that should be used. You can learn all about the graphic guidelines by clicking here: Graphics Guide. If you choose to try your hand at making graphics, be sure to consult the manual thoroughly and it's not a bad idea to approve it through your team leader before using it.

SUCCESS TIPS:
- Invite your sponsor or Team Leader to your first few FB parties. They can help you troubleshoot any problems and will help cheer you on, too!
- Don't stress... this is FUN!! And the best part? Your party guests don't know if you are in your pajamas without a bra, tucking your kid into bed for the fifth time that night.
- Stay positive! Sales are not the only measurement of success, especially when it comes to FB parties. Sometimes FB parties will have lower sales but will generate more parties or, even better, get recruits for your growing team! If you are feeling down, ask your sponsor or Team Leader to help you see the good - I promise, it's there to see!!
- Once you have a few parties under your belt, tweak the script or even create your own! Here are some tips and tricks for making it your own! :)
STOP!! Before continuing, make sure to report back to your team leader and let them know you have completed the first 4 steps of your training. You will want to discuss your goals for UBAM and what you would like to achieve, especially relating to the WYOSS awards, so that your leader knows how to best help you. This is also the time to schedule/talk about your launch party.
