Practice The Sex Toy Upsell

You’ve got products, you’ve got a sex toy party booking, and you’ve got some guests willing to buy. But, how do you up-sell and get them to buy more products or more expensive products?

Upselling Boosts Profits

Selling up is one of the ways to boost your profits. But, there are good ways to do this and there are bad ways. The bad method is to increase the pressure like a sleazy used car salesman. The good method is to educate your guests and teach them about sex toys in a sex-positive manner.

Not everyone can afford top of the line sex toys. Most of your guests won’t pull out their checkbooks to purchase a 100% medical grade silicone dildo, but they may decide to move up from a low-priced jelly sex toy to a multi-speed vibrator. If money is tight, your potential buyers will most likely elect to buy groceries over that lifetime guaranteed dildo you are trying to sell them, However, by promoting your products in a sex-positive way and educating them on the pleasures of various sex toys, they may see the benefit of shelling out a few more bucks for a better dildo.

How to Educate Your Guests

• Describe the different materials used to make sex toys, lubes, and lubricants. Educate them on the pros and cons of the various materials.
• Educate them on products that are more body healthy. Some sex toys are made with phthalate, also known as PVC, an oil-based compound used to soften plastic, that are known to cause certain types of cancer, infertility, and birth defects.
• Describe the benefits of sex toys, for individuals, and couples. Describe how sex toys can help women discover their own sexuality and how they help couples rekindle the romance that may have been lost to family, work and familiarity.

Careful with Up-Selling

Though you are in business to make money and up-selling is one way to make more money, you need to be careful. By up-selling, you risk alienating potential buyers and losing repeat customers. Selling a cheap vibrator to a young college student who lacks the funds for a more expensive option, may mean that she will remain a customer when she can afford the higher priced model. Making customers happy is more important than up-selling.

The Art of Up-Selling

Yes, up-selling is an art. There is no scientific methods that will guide you on when to sell up and when to abandon the sales pressure. You have to use your intuition, your experience, and your acute business sense to know when to gently push your customers up to a higher-priced product. It’s definitely an art, and like any artistic skill, it takes practice. The more experience you get, the better you will be at knowing when to up-sell.

Make your next sex toy party fun and profitable; up-sell when you can, but don’t act like that stereotypical used car salesman that we all love to hate!

Icebreakers For Adult Home Party

One of the important tasks of a romance consultant is to help break the ice at an adult home party event and get the participants talking. A good icebreaker game will do the trick.

Some of your guests may be at their first adult party and not know what to expect.

You need to put together a fun icebreaker game that will get your guests talking and laughing, while also helping new guests to understand what the party is all about.An icebreaker game at an adult party needs to set the tone of fun and the freedom to discuss sexuality without having any inappropriate undertones. It can sound difficult to avoid inappropriate undertones at a sex toy party, but remember that you are trying to set the atmosphere of having fun and not trying to intimidate your guests. If you can get your guests to blush and giggle a little at first, then you are on your way to a successful event.

Adult Party Icebreaker = Mad Libs

One game you can use at your next sex toy party is a version of “Mad Libs” where you take a story that a guest has written and replace some of the words in it with the words “sex” or “sex toy.”

• Ask each person at your sex toy party to write down something that requires a lot of activity. You can ask your guests to write down the steps to performing an oil change, scrubbing a floor or anything that can be described in a series of steps that involve activity such as kneeling, scrubbing or anything like that.
• Have your guests submit their descriptions to you and then you hand them back to the group but to different people. Make sure that no one gets her or his own story back. It is easier for people to tear apart someone else’s writing than their own.
• Tell each guest to replace every mention of the activity that is being written about with the words “having sex” and then replace the mention of tools with sex toys such as a vibrator or a sex doll.
• When everyone is done making the changes, have them read the newly edited descriptions back one at a time and help the laughter along by making sure everything remains fun and light-hearted.

This game turns the simple process of washing dishes into a full sexual encounter. The sentence “Washing dishes requires hot water, soap and a good scrubbing pad “ turns into “Having sex requires hot water, soap and a good pair of handcuffs.” It should help break the ice and get your event off to a good start.

5 Sex Tips For Men

• Sex is not a race. Slow down, take your time and remember that, though the destination is fun, sex is a journey, not a destination.
• Take a trip down memory lane. Did you used to seduce her in the backseat of the car? Relive those memories. Did you used to have a quickie on the kitchen counter? Well, the counter’s still there! Reliving those long-ago and far-away encounters will reenergize a lagging sex life.
• Turn off the TV. The less the television is on, the more sex you’ll have. Don’t believe it? Try it and you may be amazed.
• Foreplay should not be routine. If you always follow a certain routine, change it up every once in awhile. You might be amazed at how fun this can be for her - and you!
• Talk to her. Communication is the key to any successful relationship. You have to talk about the kids, money, chores, and schedules. Don’t forget to also talk about sex. Tell her what you like, what you fantasize about, and what you would like to do in the bedroom (or anywhere else). Ask her what she likes, fantasizes about, and what she would like to do in the bedroom. Communication also includes compliments -  flattery will get you almost anywhere!
