SocialGlow vs Table

Here’s why SocialGlow is a perfect Table alternative and why you should consider using it.

If you are deciding between SocialGlow and Pampered Chef’s Table, you are in the right place.

Choosing which platform to host your Pampered Chef parties is an important decision. That’s why we created this comparison page to make the process as easy as possible for you.

There must have been something in the air because both Pampered Chef and the creators of PostMyParty, came to the same idea. Create a platform where consultants can host parties and foster their customer communities without being shackled to Facebook’s dreaded algorithm.

Even though both platforms were created to solve the same problem, each provides a different set of features that will be useful to different kinds of consultants.

Table was created with the consultant’s experience in mind. It offers a seamless place to host virtual parties that sync all the powerful features Pampered Chef already established through their Consultant’s Corner website. Because of this - Table’s strength is in consistency. 

Whereas, SocialGlow was created with the community experience in mind. It provides an inviting place not only to host virtual parties but boasts extra features that allow the consultant to connect with their guests long after the party is over. It’s not just a virtual space to shop; it’s a new way to socialize online.

Because of this distinction, we believe SocialGlow is a true Facebook alternative for hosting parties. And if you love the social media aspect of Facebook, but hate the algorithms, then SocialGlow might be for you.  

But don’t just take our word for it. The information below will help you further understand the different features SocialGlow provides over Table. After all, an informed decision is the best decision.

Feature Highlights

Familiarity:

We designed SocialGlow to feel like you’ve used it before. This familiarity makes the app accessible to you and your party guests right away. You won’t need to waste time convincing your customer base to leave Facebook behind when you have such a welcoming and thriving virtual space to host parties from now on! 

Using your SocialGlow Dashboard is easy and simple. With the same ease you’ve come to expect from PostMyParty, you’ll be able to schedule your parties in SocialGlow with only a few clicks!

If you plan on using any of your old templates from PostMyParty in Table, you must upload one post at a time. To have a cohesive flow in your parties, you’ll have to categorize those posts into mini-outlines and add those mini-outlines to the main outline template. It’s a multi-step process. Table also limits the number of posts you can add to a mini-outline.

In SocialGlow, you can seamlessly transfer your PostmyParty templates into your dashboard to start using them immediately. Our templates have no limits on how many posts you can store in them. You can schedule your posts individually or within a template. And it only takes a couple of clicks to get it all running seamlessly.

For your party guests, SocialGlow will feel similar to using Facebook, except better. They will love how easy and intuitive the app is to use. They can like, comment, post, and message just as they always have, but without the clutter of ads! And you’ll love how you can connect to your customers on the same level you’re used to on social media without any of Facebook’s algorithm limitations.

Customization:

The sky is the limit when using SocialGlow as an entrepreneur. 

Our platform was created with ALL consultants in mind, not just Pampered Chef’s. 

Table may provide pre-programmed scripts for consultants to use in their parties, but it doesn’t allow for the same level of customization that you’ll get when using SocialGlow.  

For example, Replacement Tokens, such as [host], [link], and [text], will allow you to customize every party without ever changing your template. Just add the Replacement Tokens in your template and schedule what you would like to appear in them once the party is running.

We’ve also updated this feature so you can create your own Replacement Tokens by just adding the brackets around the word that works best for you and your team. For example, let’s say you are hosting a block party. You can now use Replacement Tokens for each host’s names instead of manually typing them all in! Imagine all the time you’re going to save!

SocialGlow also allows users to have as many Link Buttons as they need in their party. Table’s only Link Button is for the order link. When setting up your parties in SocialGlow, you can customize which Link Buttons appear in your party. You can add your blog website, shopping link, Instagram account, and VIP customer group. The options are endless. This feature is handy for consultants that have invested in their social media brand. You can connect all of your outlets in one place!

And speaking of having everything in one place - If you are a consultant with multiple direct sales businesses, then you’re going to love how you only have to use ONE platform to host all your different parties.  

Customizing your parties will ultimately save you from a big headache in the long run.

Customer Support:


Not to brag, but we think we have one of the best customer support teams around! We have an average response time of 5 minutes or less. No more waiting for someone to get back to you or digging through unhelpful FAQ articles.

Plus, our team will not only be there for you but anyone who is a part of the SocialGlow network, including all your party guests. We wanted to make the transition from Facebook to our platform as easy as possible. So if your guests don’t understand how something works, we will guide them step by step. 

Breathe easy, knowing that if a technical issue arises, you are not alone in solving it.

Event Insights/Wishlists:

One of our most exciting features is Wishlists. When you create a product post, guests can favorite it. Once they favorite it, it goes into a list accessible right in SocialGlow. Whereas in Table, if guests wanted to keep track of products they were interested in, they would have to leave the Table site and go onto the Pampered Chef's site. With SocialGlow, your guests automatically have their favorite products in a list without leaving the party or taking any other extra steps. This feature helps make the party feel like a "window shopping" experience.

SocialGlow also provides all this information in your user dashboard. That way, when reaching out to your customers, you will have a complete list of everything that the potential customer favorited to tailor your outreach messages to be more effective and personalized. No more guesswork! 

If you’re looking for a way to post parties, classes or trainings online to market your business without using Facebook, you should consider SocialGlow.

SocialGlow is a completely "off Facebook" solution for your direct sales parties, VIP groups, team groups, etc.
