boards for you to advertise on. This is a great way to get free
advertising for your party.

There are

well. Many of them will even advertise your upcoming online party
for free. Just ask.

MSN, Ryze Groups
There are
of hundreds of YahooGroups. These groups are a wonderful way to
interact with people. Networking is the key to any online business'
success. Use them to your advantage. If you are not sure if a
group allows advertising, just ask. *If a group doesn't allow
advertising, get familiar with changing your signature line on
your emails and add your upcoming party announcement.
Invitations
Again, invite
everyone. One upcoming party announcement, one reminder the night
before and one "party-now" reminder.

Games
There are
many games that can be played online during the party. A few good

Specials,
Drawings, and Giveaways
Ever notice
that the busiest shopping days are the days with the sales? And
the better the sale is the more business there is? Having specials
and giveaways is a great way to bring in those customers. You
should even post the special(s) that you will have at the party
in your invites and advertisements.
