CREATIVE MARKETING
Marketing your business never stops - it goes on 24/7 - even while you are sleeping. Your marketing materials are out there, being noticed! Make sure you are using them! The more creative you are, the more you set yourself out from the crowd - and that, ladies, gets you noticed! Yes, you sell Thirty-One, but why do they want to do business with YOU? That’s the key! Need a few ideas to get the creative juices flowing? Here you go! Three creative spins on it!
IDEA #1
IDEA #2
IDEA #3
The Holiday Season is knocking on the door! Consider hosting a children’s party. This works best in September or October for holiday shopping, but you could do it again in April right before Mother’s Day. Invite children from your neighborhood and, with their parents permission, give the kids a chance to shop for holiday gifts without their parents! Moms love this idea as it gives them an hour or two break too. Parents set a budget beforehand and agree to settle the bill without learning what their kids plan on gifting. The kids will love it!
You sell 31 and your BFF sells something else. Why not join forces and do a joint party for the holidays! You both invite your customers to the joint party which in turns put you in touch with customers you might not of ever met. This is a great way to move beyond your circle of friends and have a dual party to boost business for you both.
Do you let people know what you do? Do your neighbors know you sell Thirty-One?
K
You could even drop a minicatalog in their mailboxes to let them know that if they are interested in checking off a few gifts from their list this season, you can help - and you even gift wrap and deliver!
Put a fun twist on it by doing a theme party, bring your BFF party, or even a backyard BBQ! The more lighthearted and fun you make the party, the more they will shop, and the more Get creative and see how likely they will book you again! things turn around for you!
