Happy LAUNCH PARTY day! WOOP! Things to keep in mind today: continue posting wish lists and respond to posts and comments! When your guests see you engaging, they are more likely to engage, too!
Things to do today:
Message guests about 15-30 minutes before the party to remind them of the event, here is an example: "Hi Lisa! I'm so excited to to hang out with you tonight at my virtual book bash, here is the link directly to the group page (INSERT YOUR FACEBOOK GROUP LINK), see you soon!" This is important as notifications get lost easily (that's why we send the link!), parents or caregivers are busy folks, & most always appreciate reminders & remember-- these are guests who said they wanted to be invited to the event!
Plan to arrive on time!
A Note on Giveaways:
Feel free to offer a giveaway to encourage guests to engage with the posts. The more they engage, the more meaningful the experience is, and the more lively a party it is! *NOTE* If you do choose to do a giveaway, you’ll want to make a post on your own to let your guests know how it’ll work. The posts in our scripts will not highlight this. You can say something as simple as “During the party, I’ll be giving away a free book! The more you comment on the posts the more entries you will have to win!” or something along those lines. See below under “After the Party” for giveaway details after you host the party.
