The Pyschology of Thirty-One Bingo

UPDATE!! Spring 2017 board on bottom of post!

UPDATE! Spring 2019 – Angel Kiss Design on Facebook has a gorgeous Bingo board with individual product cards for calling numbers!

I was invited to a Facebook party for another Direct Sales Company. The night before the party, the consultant set up a bingo game for us. She posted a grid of products, told us to pick 5 numbers, and meet back there at 8. It was a lot of fun, as she called each number, she told us about the product! I thought, what a great way to talk about some items and get some interaction. We were all there hoping to win but we were learning about the products as well. I immediately set out to find a Thirty-One Bingo grid for my own parties and decided to set it up in my VIP group today as well. Below is the graphic I found, I did not make it and don’t know who did.

After I posted it, I noticed that several of the ladies were choosing the same numbers. The directions are, choose 5 numbers, they do not have to be in a row or column. Then I remembered what I did at the previous night’s party and it HIT ME!

When told we can pick any number, we will subconsciously pick items we LIKE! It was a total AH-HA moment! It’s genius! This game works for you in so many ways!!

• Gets people excited and interacting in your FB party
• If you play it the night before the party, you can also remind them to come back the next night.
• Each time you ‘call’ a number, you are telling them about that product.
• You now have a WISH LIST from your customers and guests!!

I created the roll call for this grid and will post it below. I posted the grid above in my group and they are selecting their numbers. Tonight, we will be playing bingo! I’m excited to play this in a Facebook Party as well!

You can find the product info/call posts here –> fb-bingoscript

And as a little side note: numbers chosen the most so far from my group are 5, 13, 17, & 22! Interesting, right?

DIRECTIONS:

• Post the above Bingo grid, tell them to pick 5 numbers, any number, they do not need to be in order, give them a time frame and tell them when Bingo will be played
• I played later that evening. You want it to be fresh on their minds, I wouldn’t wait until the next day.
• They need to post their numbers in the comments of the post with the Bingo grid
• I reminded them  a little before Bingo time
• I then posted the grid again, said let’s play Bingo and then in the comments of that post, I ‘called’ numbers.
• You can pick numbers from a hat or post random numbers.
• I posted exactly what it says in the Bingo Script posted above for each number.
• If you do it live they will not be reading about each product and that’s kind of the point of this.
• When all 5 of their numbers have been called, they post BINGO!
• I did give away a prize, I used something I have in stock
• Today, I will be messaging everyone that played and thanking them. Not selling or offering anything, just reaching out saying thanks for helping me test out a new FB party game 😉

UPDATE!

Just finished playing Bingo in my VIP group! It was great!! Over 60 comments!! I have NEVER had that kind of interaction in my group! Plus, even after the game was over and we had a bingo, they kept talking. Asking about products and looking for ideas! This is a total game changer! They loved it and it got everyone excited, checking out products, and interacting! Check out the screenshot below to get an idea of the flow.
