Thinking “Outside the Box” to Home Party Bookings
I love it when consultants come up with creative ideas as to how to get their product out there and get bookings for their parties. Being able to step outside the box can help you stand out above the rest. The following are examples of what some of the Sydney Andrews consultants have done to go the extra mile!
1. Tracy P. who happens to be a wonderful photographer as well as being a Sydney Andrews consultant has utilized her skills by photographing herself with each necklace and earring set. Every day I see a new posting on Facebook of her modeling the “jewelry of the day” She posts them at different times and different days of the week to capture various audiences. She also posts recommendations and advice of what to wear with the jewelry and to what sort of occasion. I love this because it’s visual and interactive!
2. Missy P. is a brand new consultant. She’s a teacher and asked her fellow co-workers at the school to “model” the jewelry. This allowed her to have a preview to her grand opening party. The jewelry always looks best in person and what better way to get her friends and co-workers excited and curious the product. Missy’s first party was over $1,000.00!
3. Diane K. has had success with asking for referrals. When discussing the jewelry she may not make an immediate sale but she asks her new contact if they might know someone else who would interested in the jewelry or hosting a party. Referrals are usually great leads because the person really wants to give a recommendation and be helpful. Diane also asks it they would take her card and pass them around to which the person is more than happy to help out.
I’d love to hear some of your creative ideas to get bookings.
