INCREDIBLE THINGS ARE HAPPENING!
Fa la la la la la la la la!
I cannot get over how incredible November was for everyone. You ladies killed it. What a treat hearing everyone's stories of shows, outside orders and general good feeling that comes from styling women for the holiday season.
Since the holiday season is upon us, I wanted to share a few ideas for bringing in sales when you don't have shows (or as many as you want). Yes, I said it, I don't have an in-home show this month. That said, my goal is still the same....I want to reach my 5% bonus. I want to share HOW I will sell $2308 without having single in-home show scheduled.
1) Office shows - I have approached 5 offices in my work area about doing Pop up shops. No one needs notice for office shows. I like doing them Thursday and Friday as people seem happier those days.
2) Reaching out to past customers about Dot Dollars. For those of you who were around in June/July, I reached out to anyone that redeemed Dot dollars before and personally told them they are back! I also went to all my Nov hostesses with shows still open and asked them to help me communicate this. As well, in all my thank you emails to Nov customers, I included a picture of our Dot Dollar promo and a brief explanation about how they can gift shop now and shop for themselves at half price in Jan.
3) MEN - I am approaching the men I know about gifts for their mom's, wives, grandmother's and sister's. I keep it very specific and give a specific idea of what SHE would like. If he lives close, I offer to have it sent to me an I will gift wrap it. Here are two example of messages I sent
Hey Mike - I wanted to offer up my services for your Christmas shopping this year. Jodie fell in love with this bag the last time I saw her and I think it would be a hit under the tree (insert link to getaway). If you have her gifts covered we'll keep this idea for future gifting needs (ie: dog house gifts or valentine's Day). Let me know what you think. I can have it shipped to me and I'll gift wrap it and drop it to your office. All without you needing to step foot in the mall.
Hi Mark, I wanted to offer up my services for your Christmas shopping this year. I know how much your mom loves her grandbabies so I was thinking an everyday Charm Necklace would be a great idea. I was thinking a Delicate Silver Chain ($24) a Grandmother Charm ($39) and a number 5 ($19) for her 5 grandbabies. Don't feel like you have to get anything from me...I will not be offended!!
4) On-line shows - I don't typically do on-line shows but this is the time of year I strategically target 2-3 women to be my on-line hostesses. I arm them with lookbooks and their personal website and I try to get them excited about getting rewards from talking to their friends. Last year, the fabulous Christine Baker was an on-line hostess and now she is a rock star stylist.
Hope this helps you reach your December Goal.
December Challenge!!! Who wants a new Holiday outfit???
Since the bookings have been a little slower for everyone I wanted to add a little extra to the challenge to help everyone get a chance to win.
For every show you hold* between Dec 1-15th, you will get 5 ballots. AND for every outside order not attached to a show you will get one ballot.
The prize will still be a $50 gift card. I can track the shows but I will need you to post your outside orders on our facebook page. I will start a thread. I will draw on Dec 16th. Good luck to all of you!
