Planning Tips: Please note… I will take you through an example of planning a watch party that is intended to get a client or customer.

Planning Tip 1. Start with the end in mind.

What are you hoping your Facebook Watch Party will give you? Is it a sale, a lead, a referral, a branding exercise, just for fun? There are many outcomes you could be hoping for. Be very clear on your end goal.
Today, our goal is to get a customer or sell a product.

Planning Tip 2. Understand your target market.

If you are selling a women’s skin care range, inviting men may not be the best idea. However you could position it as the perfect gift to give your wife. Obviously this would then target a majority of men. Same product but different market.

Planning Tip 3. Set your date.

The more complex your offering the more time you want to plan a Facebook Watch Party especially if you plan to spend money on advertising. Most people make the mistake of waiting until they are ready before they set the date, if you wait until you are ready, you will never set the date because there will ALWAYS be one more thing to do.

Planning Tip 4. Setup your Facebook group correctly:

Do yourself a favour. Remember that if you had people coming to your home or business, you would want them to walk into something that would be impressive. This should be the same feel in your group.

Even though you want your Facebook Watch Party to be a fun, relaxed and inviting event, You want to promote it with everything you have. You don’t want to leave anything up to chance. Instead have the list of things you are going to do to ensure people know about your party, turn up and interact.

What videos are you going to use. Don’t leave this to the final day. They don’t have to be a Hollywood production, they can just be a recording of you speaking and presenting your product or service. However you do want them to be nice, clear, have a message and hit the hot spots of your target market.
