Ignite Your Direct Sales This Summer!
Have you heard that sales during the summer are notoriously slow? A lot of this has to do with attitude, if you are told it’s going to be slow then it will be. But if you take advantage of some of the points below and share your enthusiasm for your home party business - you will spark excitment during the summer months!
1. Highlight the specials your company offers- Many companies beef up their incentives for hostesses and consultants during the summer- take advantage of this and let people know why, for instance- ”June is the best month to have a jewelry party”At Sydney Andrews, the summer special is that hostesses earn an extra necklace or bracelet for holding a qualified party in addition to all the standard hostess rewards.
2. Have a Theme Party- Put a fun spin on your party and ask your guests to dress up or bring a special dish to go with the theme. I am have tried to research themes that start with the letter J for jewelry- not so easy:) What about Jimmy Buffet and Jewelry, Sex and the City party or Christmas in July.
I’d love your “J” suggestions:)
3. Gather your Play Group together- Hire an older child or a babysitter to entertain the children. Supply a craft such as beading a bracelet- while the moms can talk and shop. It’s a win- win the kids get to play with eachother as well as the moms!
What great ideas have you come up with to get keep your sales consistant during the summer months?

Excellent points. I know direct sales is “supposed to be” bad in the summer, but my summer has held it’s own, thankfully. Certainly nothing like my May, but I’m holding my own. lol. I’m a new follower from MBC and would love for you to stop by my blog at http://www.createyourtraditions.com.
