Product night at your place
Hey, I am hosting a small product night at my place on {{day}} at seven. You can try things hands on and ask me anything. Want to come? A no is fine too.
Inviting someone to a product night is harder than sending the link. You want them to come, you do not want to push, and you want them to know what the evening is. These 15 messages cover the whole arc: the invitation, the reminder, the day of, the reply when a guest asks to bring a friend, the thank you after, and the note to someone who missed it. Each one says what happens, gives the real day and time, and makes a no easy. No income talk, no fake scarcity. Copy any of them, or add all 15 to your keyboard and send from WhatsApp, iMessage or Instagram. If your event is a group chat, see the text party host script.
Works in WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram, Messenger and every other app.
Words in {{double braces}} are blanks. In the textcuts keyboard you fill them with one tap, and the names you used recently come back.

A new range just launched and I am showing it to a few friends on {{date}}. Come and tell me honestly what you think. There is coffee, and nobody has to buy anything.
Hi {{name}}, I will have sample cups out in my kitchen on {{day}} afternoon. Pop in for ten minutes or stay an hour. You do not have to buy anything.
Hi, I am running a free half hour class online on {{day}}. You will see how a few products are used and can ask questions in the chat. Link: {{link}}
Since you live too far for my product night, I am streaming part of it live. Join for fifteen minutes or watch the replay later. Link: {{link}}
A reminder that product night is this {{day}} at seven at my place. If you would rather not come, tell me and there are no hard feelings, I will just count the chairs.
See you tonight. The address is {{address}}. If you drive, I will tell you where to park. Text me when you are outside if you cannot find the door.
We start at {{time}} tonight and the link is in the event page. If your connection acts up, message me and I will catch you up afterwards.
Of course, {{name}}, bring someone along. Just tell me their first name so I have a seat and a sample ready. I only have eight chairs, so let me know soon.
Good question, {{name}}. Nothing is required. You can look, try and leave, or order if something catches your eye. There will be a price list on the table, and that is all.
Thanks, a maybe is a fine answer. Tell me by {{day}} if it turns into a yes, so I can get the snacks right.
Thank you for coming tonight, {{name}}. It meant a lot to have you there. Tell me which product stuck with you most and I will send details whenever suits you.
Thanks again for last night. Here is the list of what you tried, with prices: {{link}}. Take your time, and ask if anything is unclear.
We missed you at product night, {{name}}. I hope all is well. I can send photos of what we covered, or run a smaller version for you over coffee, if that sounds good.
Sorry you could not join the class. The replay is here: {{link}}. It runs half an hour, and you can skip to whatever interests you.

Hiding why you are inviting someone ("just a girls' night", "come see something exciting"). The industry code asks sellers to say who they are and why they are contacting you.
Instead: Say it is a product night and what happens at it.
Inviting people to hear how to make extra money. Earnings claims have to be truthful and substantiated.
Instead: Invite to the product, and answer business questions only if they ask.
Fake scarcity ("only a few seats") when your room is not actually full.
Instead: Give the real number of chairs, if it matters.
Health or weight promises at the event or in the invite.
Instead: Show how you use the product and leave results out.
Guilt after a no ("I booked the room for you").
Instead: Thank them and ask if you can invite them next time.
Adding people to an event group chat without asking.
Instead: Ask first, and add only those who say yes.
Works in WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram, Messenger and every other app.
About a week for an evening event and two to three days for a drop in sampling. Send one reminder two days before and one message on the day. More than that starts to feel like pressure.
Yes. Say it is a product night and what happens at it. Being clear about who you are and why you are writing is also what the industry's [code of ethics](http://www.dsa.org/advocacy-policy/code-of-ethics/) asks of sellers.
Send the reminder only to those who said yes or maybe. For the rest, see follow up when someone does not respond and send at most one nudge.
They suit in person and online classes. For a group chat party, use the text party host script.
Yes. 13 of the 15 use a single blank, which fills in on the free plan. The other 2 use two blanks and need Pro to fill both from the keyboard. Importing the whole page is never blocked.
