The Many Ways to Party With Tastefully Simple

While Tastefully Simple does focus on delicious and easy to prepare foods, it's the party that makes Tastefully Simple awesome!  We make it easy to get your friends together for food and fun, and to earn free and discounted Tastefully Simple products for yourself.  But the in-house tasting party isn't the only way to enjoy the benefits of hosting.  There are three types of parties that I organize for my customers.

  1. The Tasting Party - This is the standard party: invite some friends, buy some drinks, and I give you delicious Tastefully Simple products to make.  Your friends come over, and we "eat our way through the catalog".  A tasting party usually runs about 2 hours from start to finish, although I've had some shorter and some longer.  I currently book parties in Central Massachusetts, with a few exceptions.  Tasting parties are a great way to get your friends together, and are awesome for people who love to entertain.
  2. The Catalog Party - This type of party involves showing the catalog to your friends and family and gathering orders.  This can be done with paper catalogs/order forms, online catalog/ordering, or a combination of both.  Usually a catalog party is held open for 1-2 weeks.  You can be anywhere in the US and have a catalog party with me!  Catalog parties are great for people who have a lot of friends who love Tastefully Simple, but maybe work an odd schedule, live in a small space, or otherwise can't swing an in-house tasting party.
  3. The Facebook Party - This is an online event that takes place on Facebook.  You invite your friends to attend the Facebook event, and I present videos, recipes, tips, and other information over the course of about 1 hour.  Your guests place online orders during the party. You can be anywhere in the US and have a Facebook party with me!  Facebook parties are great for people who have friends and family all over the country and communicate a lot on Facebook.  It's quick and easy, and just about no work for the host at all.
Now, is there any difference in the rewards that hosts can earn depending on the type of party?  No!  Hosts earn the same rewards no matter what type of party they host.  There are three kinds of rewards:
  1. Host reward dollars - The amount of sales that your party generates translates directly to host reward dollars that can be used towards free products (or can be used to offset your investment in becoming a Tastefully Simple consultant!).  The more products sold, the more host reward dollars you get.  Also, if you have 15 or more orders associated with your party, you get an additional $15 in host rewards.
  2. Monthly host specials - Each month Tastefully Simple has additional host rewards that hosts can take advantage of.  Some monthly host specials have levels, where the rewards increase as you reach each level. Here's an example of the host rewards for May 2013.
  3. Half-priced items - If one of your guests books a party with me, any kind of party, you get any item in the catalog for half price.  You can get up to five half-priced items through bookings!
So what are you waiting for?  Contact me now to book the party that works best for you!
