Home Parties Can Increase Your Client Base

As a scrapbooking enthusiast the love for scrapbooking may run through your veins and as a result, you have decided to pursue scrapbooking as a business.  This is a win-win situation but can be challenging as well.  One of the challenges you may face is growing your client base.  So, what do you do?

One of the ways that you can increase your client base is through home parties.  What could be more fun than getting together with a group of people who share your love for scrapbooking or introducing scrapbooking to a group who have never done it before?  Either way, it is a wonderful opportunity for you to gain more clients.

The setup is simple you find someone who is willing to host the party in their home, business, church or elsewhere and you set up a time with them to hold the party.  They then invite family, friends, coworkers and others who they feel would be interested in scrapbooking to come.  At the party, you give them a sampling of what scrapbooking is, and allow them to complete one scrapbooking page or project to get them interested.  You might also want to have some completed scrapbooks of your own to show them to peak their interest.

You will in the end have the goal of selling them scrapbooking supplies or your services as a professional scrapbooker, where they would pay you to do their scrapbooks for them.  Either way, you can stand to gain clients and make some money at the same time.  You will also want to ask guests to book their own parties and invite others who they know that might be interested in scrapbooking as well.  It will take a ripple effect and you will in turn fill your calendar with parties and your client list with customers.
