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

spotlight during a social setting, allowing the network and
word-of-mouth marketing happen as a natural result of the event.

Can I change
the offer on my Night Out Network Goodie Bag Flyer?
Goodie Bag flyers can be changed, however, we recommend that you
keep your messaging consistent and with a longer term expiration
date to ensure maximum return on investment. 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.
Who should I
contact when I have questions?
