Have 2 open houses per year:I recommend you have a spring and a fall open house and
showcase your newest products for those seasons.Spring is great for Easter, Secretary’s Day, Mother’s Day and
Father’s Day.Fall is perfect for the Holiday
Season.Whichever you choose you’ll want to keep
it the same week of the same month every year.
It trains your customers to watch for it.
Go the EXTRA MILE:When making deliveries or sending
anything through the mail, make it look important.Wrap their
purchases, use a
sticker to close the package, wrap up a free gift in tissue, use
ribbon or netting. Include
some chocolate or mints.Tie a balloon to the
bag when you are making a delivery.You want
others to see the service your customers are getting.
Send
lots of notes:
It’s important to send notes to everyone!Thank your hostess, thank the guests that purchased, thank
the guest that came but didn’t purchase, thank the interview
prospects.What you put out there will come back
to you tenfold.
As your grow increase your
systems:Starting out you may be able to use
a card system to track your customer base, sales, expenses, mileage
and so on – however, as you grow you will need to look into getting
a computer program to keep track of everything effectively.Start looking now and when you feel it’s time invest.
