Here are some ideas for picking up the pace a bit for the upcoming holiday season, especially if you have a product that is perfect for gift giving!<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><O:P></O:P><O:P></O:P>
First, remember, people are BUSY now so anything you can do to add convenience to another's life will make them more likely to buy and remember you in the future.<O:P></O:P><O:P></O:P>
So, take your products and your "Store" to people. Put together a simple, fun, cute and EASY display to carry with you. No more than 5 minute set up.<O:P></O:P>
<O:P></O:P>
Make a list of everyone you know who might have a challenge getting to a home party or open house. This might include -<O:P></O:P><O:P></O:P>
Mother's of new babies and toddlers<O:P></O:P><O:P></O:P>
Mother's who work full time<O:P></O:P><O:P></O:P>
Mother's with active teenagers<O:P></O:P><O:P></O:P>
Dad's who wait until the last minute to shop<O:P></O:P>
Create a wish list for your clients to complete and have them provide address or emails to whom these should be sent.<O:P></O:P><O:P></O:P>
Brainstorm and visit offices who buy corporate gifts for clients. Develop a custom gift tag with the business logo on it. Bring in a display of your products and offer volume discounts<O:P></O:P>
You can visit offices and offer to put together gift packs for gifts; or see if you can host a lunch time office party so no one has to schedule extra time away from the family.<O:P></O:P><O:P></O:P>
This will be great for those distributors who have children in school who prefer to work day time hours.<O:P></O:P><O:P></O:P>
Find boutiques and craft shows to display and sell your products. Promote home parties and the incentives that go along with these.<O:P></O:P>
Send a holiday discount coupon to all past customers and offer incentives for them to shop early!<O:P></O:P>
<O:P></O:P>Get creative and you’ll have a banner business season!<O:P></O:P>
