Run Thirty-One Parties Over Text
More Bookings, Less Chasing

What is a Thirty-One text party?

A Thirty-One text party is a virtual party run entirely over SMS text message instead of a live video call or a social-media group. The consultant invites guests by text, shares product photos, personalization and monogram options, and bundle spotlights right in the thread, and guests browse and order from their phones on their own time. There is nothing to download and no scheduled hour to attend — the whole party happens in the guests' text inbox.

How does a Thirty-One text party work, step by step?

First, the consultant builds a guest list and writes the party messages once, then schedules them. Automated host coaching reminders go out on their own so the host keeps inviting friends. On party day, scheduled product and personalization spotlights send themselves while the consultant answers questions and takes orders in the thread.

When the party closes, every order is tallied toward the host's total and rewards, and automated follow-up sequences thank guests, prompt reorders, and invite future hosts — so no one falls through the cracks.

How is a Thirty-One text party different from a Facebook party or an in-home catalog party?

A text message is delivered directly to every guest — there is no feed algorithm deciding who sees your product post, and no single hour guests must show up for. Anyone who joins late just scrolls back through the thread. Compared with an in-home catalog party, a text party means no travel, no setup, and no scheduling around everyone's calendar. Because texts are opened and read far more than social posts, most consultants reach more guests and take more orders with less effort.

What results do Thirty-One consultants get from text parties?

Text messages see roughly a 98% open rate, so consultants typically get higher guest participation and more orders than algorithm-dependent social parties. Automated host coaching lifts party totals by keeping hosts inviting, and automatic follow-up turns one party into repeat orders, seasonal and personalized bundles, new bookings, and team leads — all without manual chasing.

What do you need to run a Thirty-One text party?

You need a texting platform built for direct sales: a dedicated business phone number, scheduled group messaging, automated host coaching, and post-party follow-up. It works alongside the tools you already use — keep your Thirty-One website and office for orders, host rewards, and your catalog. The text-party platform handles the invites, product spotlights, reminders, and follow-up those tools don't cover.
