I saw a post a few days ago about a 12 Days of Christmas theme - selling a set of products, one for each day during Christmas. I love it and hope to try it at a table at my husband's work (lots of men work there- computer, techy type place!).

I'd like to maybe try the idea at car dealerships, too, where there are a lot of men who hopefully want to pamper the special lady in their life. My question is, how do you get your foot in the door?? I've done a few spas, and have a church bizaar and open house lined up. But approaching businesses make me soooo nervous and I don't know where to begin.

Who would I talk to?

For those that have done things at a car dealership, what do you do? I made a cute flyer for the 12 days of Christmas theme, and it would be nice to just be there for a few hours, showing the cute, individually wrapped gifts they could give each day of Christmas...I don't know that I want to leave products because the men won't try them out much, I'm assuming!

Any suggestions?

Thank you, thank you!

I haven't personally done car dealerships but might try them out...I would just go up to the receptionist and ask her who would you need to talk to about dong this...take you items to show of course. let us know how it goes

Bonnie, I'm the one that brought up the 12 days of Christmas. I'm still working on putting together different themed baskets and want to wait until I hear what Holiday Line BC plans to put out there. My biggest struggle is how to make up the fliers. I'm looking for ideas. Can you send me yours at beauticontroller@gmail.com ?

As for dealerships, I would go in mid November when Christmas is pretty much around the corner and just ask if you can leave fliers for the employees and just because they are employees, you'd like to offer a discount (You decide how much) for each basket they buy. I actually put together a men's basket which had all the men's product, the LOS Comfort Gel, TDS Massage Oil, and the Pulse Lotion.

Let us know how it goes!

Start off with a small percentage off for one basket (10%) and if the same person orders 2 or 3 baskets from you then raise it a little more (20%) and so on up to like 30 or 40 % depending on your comfort. THat isoff the total order not each basket.

I have never tried this, but one of the Director's in my Director's downline just took her baskets already made up to local businesses, and sold them outright to the guys that were working as gifts for their wives. It was one stop shopping! They were already wrapped and ready to go, so it was an easy sell.

There is a 12 Days of Christmas idea out there that involves 12 different presents on 12 different days.

They are prewrapped and tagged. The husband gets the list with the locations for the gifts and the tags have the number on the back for the location of the gift. Does that make any sense?

I have a form that I will send to Alyssa and you can email me for it if you want. Then you can customize it any way you want.

Just put 12 days of Christmas in the subject line and I will get it to you!

I forgot...
I also have a form letter that you can send to local businesses for their holiday shopping needs for their staff or family. I'll send that at the same time.

Thanks for the ideas ladies! Ronjess21, I'll get the copy of the flier I created out soon...life is crazy here the past few days.

I have to share my wonderful news!! I had my baby girl on Saturday morning!! Abigail Elise was born, weighing 7lb. 15oz. I just got home yesterday afternoon and this is my first chance at the computer. It may be my last chance for awhile!! smileys/smiley36.gif
