I recently was selected to host a Turbo Tax You House Party from www.HouseParty.com. I decided to have the party on the designated day of Saturday, February 7th. Of course I had to dive right in and open the box to see what was included in the kit.
I had to invite at least 10 guests to the party. Inviting 10 people is not hard. I was selected to host this party last year, so knew what to expect. Well I was thrown a curve ball and my entire family got the stomach flu when we planned to have the party. We had to reschedule the party and not everyone was able to attend. Everyone (adult) who attended received a gift card with a code on it to get 50% off of Turbo Tax. Those who were not able to attend were still given the Turbo Tax 50% gift card. The bonus for me was because I was hosting this party I was going to get a code to get Turbo Tax for free!
The party pack included the following:
- 10 gift cards with a 50% off code for Turbo Tax
- Props for pictures
- 10 folders to help you organize and store information for taxes
- 10 Lanyards to wear and hang the gift cards from
- Poster to hang for decoration
- Balloons to liven up the party
I didn’t really do any set-up for this since I was having the party later than originally scheduled. What I did end up doing was having each family be silly and take family pictures using the photo props that were provided. My party guests were thrilled with receiving the discount for Turbo Tax and could not have been happier. The kids had a blast playing with the balloons. It really didn’t matter that we kept it low-key. Since it was low-key we were able to sit and chat. By it being a smaller group it was easy to discuss the benefits of using Turbo Tax and being prepared to file taxes. In a larger setting we may not have discussed it all in so much detail. I guess that curve ball ended up being a home run for us!
