We’ve all heard of online parties where we join people in a chat room but have you ever thought of having an email party?
The concept of an email party is simple. The host/hostess sends an email to all of his/her address book to invite friends, family, and acquaintances to shop your website. Yes, it’s that simple!
Attract people to your website or product by telling them you offer FREE ITEMS if they host an email party. Tell them it’s a simple concept of copy, paste, and send. Inform them of the benefit (i.e. what amount of free things you’ll give them) of having the email party. Provide them with the email “template”. Have them pick a start and end date for their party. Have them send you a copy of the invitation. Create a tracking device such as having guests enter the host’s or hostess’s email in the comments box so that you can track order origination. Wait for their orders to come in from their referrals. Total their party orders and total their free product!
Attracting people to your site can be easy when you use the word FREE! This is an example from www.TheCandleCoop.com/FreeCandles.htm
FREE CANDLES!

There is no commitment or contract for E-Peddlers. For more details, or to become an E-Peddler and book your email party, email us at E-Peddler@thecandlecoop.com! Creating a template for your customers makes it easier for them to say, “YES” to the idea of sending out the email. Most customers don’t know the features and benefits of your particular product and don’t know exactly how to word the invite to send to their guests.
Here’s the invitation template from the above example:
SUBJECT LINE: You’re Invited to My E-Party at The Coop!
Have you heard about The Candle Coop? Do you love candles? I do! I have to say, The Candle Coop’s candles are something to crow about! The Candle Coop features triple-scented, hand-poured, lead-free apothecary jar candles. They also have aromatherapy candles, wax tarts, tea lights, and votive candles, as well as accessories to go with them!
I was at The Coop today and signed up to be an E-Party Hostess. I would like to invite you to my E-Party. It is from (START PARTY DATE–SUN) to (END PARTY DATE-SAT). Strut on over to The Coop http://www.TheCandleCoop.com and check out what they have to offer!
The Coop has some great deals for you too, like FREE CANDLES, FREE SHIPPING, and 20% off SCENT OF THE MONTH, there’s even a SCENT OF THE MONTH Club!! You know what the best part is? The Candle Coop is owned by a Work at Home Mama and Army Wife! She really appreciates our support for her business.
But even better, ANY order you place through http://www.TheCandleCoop.com during my party dates will earn me 15% more in FREE CANDLES! Please make sure to enter my email address (ENTER YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS HERE) and my name so that I get proper credit for your order.
Cock-a-doodle-dooo! (Won’t be long and you’ll be Crowing too!), YOUR NAME HERE
Offering email parties to your customers can be highly effective way of getting your name out there! Even if the guests don’t order the email will still expose your website to numerous people. Good luck!
