How to Promote Your Party

How is someone going to come to your party, if they don’t know about it? That’s where effective advertising comes in to making people come to your party. Your advertising and promoting tactics will change depending on the magnitude of your party. Any sort of promotion should be done in advance, which means at the very least, one day’s notice. 

The one constant way to always promote your party is the simplest. Personally going up to a girl and telling her about the party is the most effective way of making sure that girl will come to your party. In the girl’s mind, she feels special that you took time out of your busy “social chair day” to invite her to the party. She assumes that you might send out a Facebook event invite or other mass party invitation (which you didn’t do), and she is impressed that you invited her in a different way. Her self-esteem has been boosted by your personal invitation. She will thank you for making her feel special by coming to your party.

Since you can’t find every girl and tell them about the party in person, the next best thing is the phone call. You should call up girls to come to the party. Do not text them. Actually call them on the phone. Believe it or not, this takes a lot of skill and time to effectively do. Most people fail when doing this. Why? When a girl answers the phone, the guy immediately says something like, “Hello, _______. We are having a party tonight at my frat.” Then the conversation ends about 15 seconds later. You think a girl is going to feel special because you “called her?” Hell no! You just did the same thing as a mass text, which girls despise. She’ll be less likely to come to your party now.

The real way to effective utilize “the phone call” takes time and skill. Like sex, you can’t just stick it in. You have to spend some time “revving” her up. When you call one of your girls, the last thing you should say is something about the party. You need to talk about anything else, but the party. Ask her a question about something. See how her day was. Have a five minute conversation about something. After you feel that you are both comfortably chatting, then you should weave in a line about the party. 

Some good lines to use: “I haven’t seen you in a while. Let’s hang out tonight. We are having our ______ party at my frat house. You should come.” You can also use, “Any plans for tonight? Well, we are having our _____ party at my frat house. I would love to see you tonight.”

If you notice, the last line talks about you wanting to see her tonight. This is effective as it makes the girl feel special that you want to hang out with her. If you are really good at the “phone call” inviting, then the girl won’t even realize that the whole point of you calling her was to call her about the party. The “phone call” invitation is most effective the afternoon or couple days before the night of the party. There are many other ways to promote for your party as well.
