Let's Plan Your Grand Opening!!

This is your chance to publicly launch your business virtually! Let's set the celebratory scene in Mary Kay style by sharing with your family and friends! Below you will find everything you need to create excitement, share products, book initial appointments, and future parties as you start this new adventure!



πŸ’—Where Will Your Grand Opening Be Held?πŸ’—

You will want to create a private Facebook group. This will be where your LIVE Launch Party takes place and will become your new "Customer/VIP" Group. This will be your own little space to talk about all things MK.

How to Setup A Facebook Group

πŸ’—Who Do I Invite & How?!πŸ’—

There are a number of ways to go about inviting people to your Mary Kay Online party.  Some ways work (personal invites), others don't (mass inviting via Facebook).  One way that's proven to be very effective is getting personal with your invites. What does this entail? Let's start by making a list of about 50-70 people who you feel would benefit from our products. As you make this list keep in mind our products are truly for everyone, not just makeup lovers. Here are some ideas of women you might want to invite:

  • people you went to school with
  • current/former colleagues
  • relatives
  • neighbors
  • church friends
  • caregivers
  • teachers
  • first responders
  • women looking for holiday/special occasion customized gift options
  • women who love skincare
  • women who love makeup
  • women who go above and beyond for other people
  • women who deserve an hour of fun with the girls!
  • women who love to support other women!
  • If you were having a wedding, who would you invite?

Once you make your list, send each of them a personal message asking them if they want an invitation. About half of those people you reached out to will say yes, and then from there about half of those will participate and purchase.


This may seem like a lot of work up front, but trust me, getting personal works so much better than just shooting out a mass invite or just posing it on your social media.

Scripts to Invite!

Your Grand Opening is so exciting and we want it to be a huge success!
A key to that success is INVITING a lot of people with the scripts below!

Here is your INVITE SCRIPT!!!

Hi, Anna! I'm having a virtual event in a couple of weeks to celebrate starting my new Mary Kay business! I would love for you to come and hear all about it. It'll be so much fun! It would mean a lot to have you there supporting me. Can I count you in? 

(Send them your invite jpeg right after you send the text)

OR

Hello, everyone! I'm so excited! I've just started my own business as a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant! I am having my virtual Launch Party on Saturday, 7/14 @ 2 p.m., and I would love for you to join my celebration. It's free and fun! Invite a friend, and let's have some girl time!


If they respond to your message with a yes or maybe, go ahead and add them to your FB group.


If they respond to your message with a "no", "cant' make it", that's ok! You can say:

"No problem- Thanks for considering! Would you like to be added to my VIP Group and have my website in case you want to shop or look around anyway- no pressure :-) Here's the link below if you're interested! I know life gets busy so I'll follow up with you in a few days :-) xo


What to do now!

Here are a few tips you can do BEFORE your party to help you generate interest and ensure good attendance: 

  • Post your favorite products to your social media accounts for several days leading up to the event.
  • Send your friends a text or a picture of a product you think they would like, or even tag them in a post about the products.  
  • Post pictures of yourself with your MK! Everyone will relate to you the most. Show them what you love and tell them why!
  • Send your website link to all guests who cannot attend the party.
