Thank you for taking the time to show an interest in how to make your Urban Island Party a huge success.

By making a small amount of effort, your party will be much more enjoyable for everyone if there has been a bit of thought put into the planning. Remember, the better the party, the more sales will be made on the day and the more you will benefit. Some hosts easily receive hundreds of dollars in Urban Island vouchers just by putting a little effort into their party.

Tips for a successful Urban Island Party:

• Invite as many people as you can. You will have people who won't be interested, who just can’t make it and people who will cancel at the last minute – unfortunately this does happen.

• At Urban Island we try to cater for male and female tastes as many men are interested in homewares also. So don’t be shy - invite your male friends, neighbours, work mates, your friends’ partners, husbands and boyfriends. We have had great feedback from men about our range, especially our Buddha heads.

• Try and send your invites out early so people can note the date and time in their diary.

• Be organised. If you are hosting a party provide your guests with some finger food and light refreshments. If you are feeling up to it, maybe ask everyone to bring along a dish and have a BBQ and make a day or night of it.

• Have an area in your house that the stock can be displayed. Preferably a large table or a couple of smaller tables. There are quite a few items in our range, including large mirrors so the more room the better.

• Have fun catching up with your family and friends. Just sit back, relax and let everyone do their shopping and place their orders and remember you will receive a $40 gift voucher for your efforts. Go on, this is a good opportunity to spoil yourself.
