Work
at Home Ideas: Party Planner
Do you love a good party? More
importantly, do you like planning them? Many people don't have the
time or the creativity to plan a party or event... but you could get
paid to do it for them, and work from home, too! A party planner can be hired to take care
of the invitations, planning the menu, the games, the decorations, and
more. Have your clients select a theme, and you're off to work
while they relax!
Startup Costs:
Your start-up costs can be very little. You'll want to have
some fliers and business cards printed up to distribute. You may want to
buy your own "props," but in some cases you can have the client
purchase them for you. You will collect an inventory of props as you go
along to use in future parties.
Training Needed:
No formal training needed, just a creative flair and lots of ideas!
Marketing:
Word of
mouth is a great way to get started. Let friends and family know of your
new business venture, and offer to plan their birthdays,
graduations, showers, etc. Your work will be your best advertising.
Leave a few business cards for guests who admire your
work. Have fliers printed and deliver them to everyone in your
neighborhood. Your own kids' parties will be great advertising for you,
too! Keep a portfolio of ideas stocked with pictures, invitations, and mementos
from past parties.
Ideas: Kids' birthday parties are a great way to start,
especially if you have children of your own. Once you're
established, you may wish to branch out to baby showers, anniversary
celebrations, graduations, family reunions, class reunions, and any
other event you can think of!
