Simple Ways to Add EXTRA Sales!
November 17, 2016
Hey there 1st Impressions,
We know that the IN-HOME trunk show brings you the highest cash/hour as people come focused on spending with YOU and because you are also building relationships for future shows, customers, & teammates.
Yet, we also have simple options to capture the low-hanging fruit of EXTRA sales AND EXTRA $$$ to help you meet your goals BEYOND THE IN-HOME POP UP.
WHO DOESN'T WANT MORE $$$ THIS HOLIDAY SEASON?
1. WITHOUT A DOUBT YOU SHOULD SET UP YOUR OWN TRUNK SHOW LINK...RIGHT NOW IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY
WHAT YOU TALK ABOUT WILL COME ABOUT! If you tell people you've got a gorgeous collection of giftables and accessories for their holiday parties, you will sell! It's true!! BUT, if you don't talk about it, you won't. Simple as that.
**Example: I have not yet held my show in person as its scheduled for later this month but I've been able to add individual orders that have come in to that link. People are shopping!
Without having had the show yet I already have over $1000 in orders bringing my Hostess Rewards to over $250 with 4 additional pieces at 1/2 off!
2. ADD AN ONLINE VERSION TO EVERY OPEN TRUNK SHOW YOU HAVE (this also include the one above!)
For sure these hostesses have friends and family across the country who also need to shop for the holidays. Make it easy for them to shop from the comfort of their homes and do it with their friend or loved one!
OFFER THE ONLINE TRUNK SHOW TO YOUR FRIENDS IN ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. Who wouldn't want to get FREE accessories for helping her friends shop for gifts?

3. IF YOU HAVE A TABLE, JEWELRY SHOULD BE SET UP ON IT THIS MONTH
Again, PEOPLE ARE SHOPPING EVERY DAY! I can't tell you the amount of times women (and men!) have dropped off their kids for a playdate and have seen my "shop" beautifully displayed on our dining room table. I've gotten hundreds, no thousands, of orders over the years by having it readily available so people can easily shop, drop by for a gift, and feel good about the efficient "work" that had been taken care of.
AND DON'T FORGET TO DISPLAY AN EASY TRAY OF GIFTABLES!
4. YOUR HANDBAG SHOULD BE FILLED WITH MINI LOOKBOOKS & OPP BROCHURES (each with a mini sticky note to capture contact info for simple follow up)
Ask people for their email and cell phone so you can send them our specials (TSEOs, DOT DOLLARS, etc.). Then put the sticky into a small notebook (also in your bag) so you can keep it safe for follow up soon thereafter.
AND YOU SHOULD CARRY AROUND A SMALL ROLL-UP OF SAMPLES TO
SHARE ON THE GO.
Don't forget that your iphone can take orders anytime and really, when do you not have that attached to you???
5. BRING YOUR LOOKBOOKS, ORDER FORMS, & A FEW SAMPLES TO WORK WITH YOU
See above! Simple & a gift to your peers! How nice of you to give them back the gift of time for their weekends!
They can shop with you during their lunch break and then relax on the weekends vs. wandering the busy, crowded malls.
6. SOCIAL MEDIA POSTINGS
Be sure to share the #sdjoy on FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, PINTEREST, TWITTER, ETC. from the comfort of the couch over the Thanksgiving break.
You can imagine how many people will be sifting through social media and doing online shopping over the long weekend. They're going to shop with someone; it might as well be YOU!
If you don't post, they won't know to go to your site!
THE HOME OFFICE HAS SET YOU UP FOR INCREDIBLE, VIRTUAL SALES!
CHECK OUT THE LOUNGE FOR DETAILS ON:
EARLY-RELEASE OF HOLIDAY SALE PIECES
NEW NOVEMBER TRUNK SHOW EXCLUSIVES
ANNOUNCEMENTS OF BLACK FRIDAY & CYBER MONDAY SALES (set your iphone alarm to remind you to post on social media!)
AND NOW I'VE LEARNED THAT TUESDAY, NOV. 29TH IS GIVING TUESDAY! How fun would it be to offer personal styling/shopping appointments that day while also asking friends to bring an item to be donated to a local food pantry?
Example of how someone is turning this day into a way to bring in AND give back :)
HAPPY SELLING MY FRIENDS!
