How do I register to receive communications from The Night Out Network?
Please visit the "Contact Us" page and Join Email list. Once you register, you will begin to receive invitations to the locations and events that have invited Night Out Network vendors to promote.

How do I register as a vendor?
Please click on the calendar on the vendor page to select your date and location. You will be directed to a registration page that includes full details, pricing and pertinent information.

How much does it cost to join The Night Out Network?
There are no fees to register to receive communications and become part of our network, however, each venue and event does have a table fee. The fees and full details of the event or location can be found on the registration page.  We only accept credit cards for payment of events and space can only be reserved through registering for an event or location on the www.mommysnightout.com website.  Email requests or checks are not accepted.

Why does it say “ticket option not available”?
In order to ensure exclusivity for the most popular direct sales products, we allow only one vendor from a specific company to attend a given location and/or time. If your company already has a representative attending, then it will show “ticket option not available”, meaning “table option not available”.  

If the vendor space is full, can I be put on a waitlist?
We do not accommodate waitlists at this point and once payment is received, the fees are non-refundable. We do work closely with the vendor, venue and event planners in the case of inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

How many people attend the Night Out Network host locations?
The Night Out Network scouts out locations based on their affinity and likeliness to attract many busy women, specifically moms. We are NOT event planners, rather enhance existing events or locations by bringing the “Mom’s Night Out” directly to the event or venue. We cannot guarantee attendance and try to estimate based on the information received by the venue or event planners. For specific information regarding an event that you’ve registered, please visit the registration page of our website, details section.

How big are the tables, is there electricity, where can I park, what time can I set up and other specific questions?
For specific information regarding an event that you’ve registered, please visit the registration page of our website, details section. We are NOT the event planners and questions not listed on the registration page of the specific event that you are inquiring should be directed to the event planner or venue website that is listed on the registration page.

Does the host location provide a table?  
We encourage our select locations and events to provide tables, however, there are occasions when tables are not provided. These details will be listed on the registration page for that event. It is up to you to bring display material to help draw attention to your table.

Can I sell merchandise at these locations?
Most people prefer cash and carry. If you have popular items that you normally keep in stock, we recommend that you bring those items versus taking orders.

What is the cancellation policy?
Due to the high demand for table space at these events and locations, our policy is non-refundable once purchased. Tables can be transferred to another representative from the same company, however, cannot be re-sold to a different company or product representative unless approved by a Night Out Network representative. We do work closely with the vendor, venue and event planners in the case of inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Why should I participate in the Night Out Network program?
Night Out Network programs allow you the ability to connect with valuable potential customers in an informal, social atmosphere. We've combined the word-of-mouth marketing that takes place naturally in social settings with your businesses messaging and have ensured the viewing of your ad by providing attractive, creative packaging. If you've been frustrated with direct mail, newspaper or other traditional advertising mediums, Night Out Network is the viable vehicle to ensure product placement to a very specific consumer, women between the ages of 25 and 45 in upscale neighborhoods.  

How many products and services are purchased based on word-of- mouth?
Night Out Network gives your business the unique opportunity to showcase products and services, introduce new products and services, or bring a reliable medium for existing businesses that want to build relationships with customers and increase overall awareness of your company’s products. The Goodie Bag program is unique, memorable, and has an extended shelf life. When you consider the lifetime value of each new customer, it is clear, that very few new customers are needed to cover your investment. Night Out Network is a tremendous prospecting program.

Are any of my competitors Night Out Network vendors? We do have many competing vendors and products; however, becoming a Night Out Network vendor gives you exclusivity for your specific product on your scheduled time and location.  As a vendor, you may have a direct competitor in the network. Event participation and Goodie Bag advertising is based on physical location of event, availability of partner, interest in participating and a first-come, first-serve basis.  This gives each vendor a fair opportunity to participate in events and have information distributed.

Who attends Night Out Network host locations?
Night Out Network locations are selected because of their high affinity and traffic. The locations are also promoted through the networking abilities of Night Out Network partners, direct mail to local women, mother’s clubs, women’s organizations, and local newspaper calendar of events sections, Night Out Network website, email blasts and in-store sponsor efforts. Since one of the goals of Night Out Network is to build a foundation of new clients based on networking, we utilize the customer base of our marketing partners and host locations and vendors to promote the events.

Do women really buy during Night Out Network events?
Absolutely! Given the ability to purchase outside of the home-show/guilt purchases, most women prefer to shop and socialize at the same time. This network/direct marketing approach also gives vendors the unique ability to capture word of mouth marketing as it occurs.

I've tried the Yellow Pages, direct mail, newspaper, and classified books ads and nothing really worked. Why will your program work?
Most flyers, circulars and ads last less than a few hours in most homes. Most people actually say they open their mail over the trash can! Our product is unique in that it puts businesses in the spotlight during a social setting, allowing the network and word-of-mouth marketing happen as a natural result of the event. Attendees learn more about products, and by nature, feel compelled to share their personal experiences. It’s the ultimate marketing tool, word-of-mouth, in a controlled environment that promotes and encourages the conversation about a particular product.

Who should I contact when I have questions?
If you are already a Night Out Network vendor, you should first contact your Sales Associate with any questions. In the event you are unable to contact your Sales Associate or if you are not yet a Night Out Network vendor, please contact Customer Support at
info@thenightoutnetwork.com.

What are the hours of operation for Customer Service?
Our Customer Service and Sales hours are 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM EST Monday through Friday.

If I host a Mommy’s Night Out or participate in the Goodie Bag program, who will write my business copy and design my offer?

Some of our partners like to write their own copy. Others prefer to work with their Night Out Network Sales Associates who are knowledgeable about their local market and about which offers draw the best response in a particular industry. Your Night Out Network Offer is designed by our in-house creative experts, a service that could cost you hundreds of dollars elsewhere. They'll feature your offer in a compelling way and add your logo or alternate graphic. If you prefer, you may provide your own camera-ready artwork.

Are any of my competitors Night Out Network Goodie Bag Advertisers?
We do have many competing vendors and products as part of our network and cannot guarantee exclusivity in the bags. This is considered advertising medium and resigned to the same non-discrimination acceptance that other advertising mediums must adhere to.

I've tried the Yellow Pages, direct mail, newspaper, and classified books ads and nothing really worked. Why will your program work?
Most flyers, circulars and ads last less than a few hours in most homes. Most people actually say they open their mail over the trash can!

Attendees learn more about products, and by nature, feel compelled to share their personal experiences.

We also encourage you to include a code or coupon so you can track the effectiveness of your messaging. Changes may not be available once party favor packages have been created.
