Touchbase Tuesday Tips
November 15, 2015
Hello 1st Impressions!!
We have 2 SOLID more weeks in this AMAZING month left to go! As Jessica Herrin said, retail has had a soft start, mainly due to the election, but that all of retail expecting a huge surge in up swing now through the holidays. I have to say, if that's the case, our team is in INCREDIBLE shape! You guys are out there working it whether with in-home trunk shows, vendor holiday fairs, business, pop ups, or online.
Since the start of Nov. we've booked over 200 NEW SHOWS FOR NOVEMBER!!!
Really, BIG, BIG, HUGE things can happen for your business this month so now is the time to crank it UP, go for the gusto, and REACH YOUR BOLDEST GOALS!
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WHO ARE MOVING THE NEEDLE OF THEIR BUSINESSES FORWARD AS THE GETTIN'S GOOD! Tune into our 1st Impressions Team Facebook Page later today to see the winners of our raffles!
WANT MORE SALES THIS MONTH TO REACH THOSE GOALS? HERE ARE SOME IDEAS...
** BE SURE TO READ LINDSAY'S EMAIL ABOUT DOT DOLLARS THAT CAME IN YESTERDAY **
She nailed it by providing all the necessary details, images, printable labels, etc. It's titled:
"How to maximize Dot Dollars for sales & booking trunk shows!"
DOUBLE DIP!
- Find a date that works. Maybe an evening AND a morning so you can capture those who work full time and those who have an easier time to get out during the day.
- You can get fabulous commissions during this BUSY time of year by letting people know you can be their personal stylist AND personal shopper! Allow people to schedule personal shopping appointments with you so they can fit it into their schedule. Then once they see the line in person, give them the opportunity of hosting their friends so they can earn loads for free!
- Earn FREE product credits that you can use when the new Spring Collection comes out mid-January.
- You can also reach your Style Fix to help you get even MORE FREE PRODUCT!
ENGRAVABLE OUTREACH for Touch Base Tuesday:
I love the idea of reaching out to someone with a preview of what their engravable will look like with their initials.
UPDATED, EASIER-THAN-EVER NEW STYLE FIX COUPONS!!
TOTE SHOW!
"I'm looking for a few friends to wear my samples for free. I give/send you a tote of jewelry and you share it at work, with friends, at school, church, the gym...you get the idea! Share everywhere!! Simply invite others to check out the line. Your friends can shop for their loved ones and find perfect pieces for their holiday outfits, and you will receive free jewelry as a reward for sharing!"
OFFICE SHOW:
ALSO, think about who you could reach out to in the corporate world to help them with any corporate gifts they may need to buy for employees! With Dot Dollars, they can shop now AND get more at 1/2 off during the redemption period!
US THANKSGIVING WEEKEND IDEAS:
Friends and family across the globe are GATHERING this season - let your hostess know that if she starts with her own family and sprinkles in a few girlfriends and neighbors, voila....it's a trunk show!
US Teammates: Let's use the Thanksgiving holiday weekend to book a trunk show!
Turkey Trot
"For my lovelies who either don't live near me, can't have a trunk show now for whatever reason, but LOVE the jewels and want to get some Stella & Dot goodies for FREE! Introducing my: STELLA & DOT TURKEY TROT:
Here's how it works:
Over the Thanksgiving Holiday, take one of my Turkey Trot packets to your family and friends' get-togethers.
- Collect a min. of $300 of orders with at least 4 individual orders (you can do this via my website or with paper order forms).
- Turn orders into me by Monday, November 30th at 9pm latest....or have everyone order through your specific trunk show link.
- By achieving these goals, you'd receive a minimum of $45 in FREE jewels and can choose up to 2 pieces at 1/2 off. That's at least 3 gifts checked off the list! All will be beautifully packaged so no need to wrap and ready to go.
** BONUS ONE: If you sell over $1000 worth of jewelry, you will receive $250 (or more depending on your sales---YES, I'd be offering them an extra $100 of freebies if they don't earn it themselves) of FREE jewelry and can choose up to 4 pieces at 1/2 off!
Let me know by tomorrow, Nov. 18th if you'd like to do it. The Turkey Trot Packet I will then send you includes:
- ONE piece of jewelry to wear and a few others to show off as part of your "promo" for your Trot (under $100 value; details on returning the piece of jewelry will be emailed to you)
- 4 look books, 12 order forms, 5 mini-look books, hostess planner
** BONUS TWO: The Trotter sells the most jewelry will be able to keep the piece of jewelry you choose to wear from me to "promote" the party!
What a great way to earn FREE jewels for yourself and as gifts! Would you like to Trot?!
BLACK FRIDAY:
"Hi ______! You know what would be brilliant...a beat Black Friday trunk show at your house the morning of the 27th!! Your friends can escape their families and pop by to catch up and do their holiday gift shopping without hauling to the mall. S&D is going to have some awesome Black Friday sales and we can easily get you over $100 in FREE and 3 items at half off. Let's use up all that leftover pumpkin pie and other sweets from Thursday's dinner and throw on a pot of coffee for a casual pop up boutique in the kitchen! Super easy, fun and your friends will thank you! Are you game?"
CYBER MONDAY: BOOK A VIRTUAL TRUNK SHOW FOR THIS DAY!
