Open houses can be GREAT!
1.People will expect to see and sample lots of products, so I would contact your upline and round up all the products you can for people to check out.
2.Since you won't be doing a presentation, have plenty of large before and after pictures, plus framed descriptions of the Arbonne Difference. It would also be good to have testimonials around from people who have used and loved the products (Doctors are great) and from people who did the business. They'll notice them! Keep them short, though!
3.DOOR PRIZE/S. Have everyone register for an exciting door prize. You can even take a gift bag or wrapped present in solid colored paper and put question marks on it, as a "Mystery Prize" ...... have them include their name and number, city and state, and email. Have a few boxes they can check about their interest in Arbonne, and have several possibilities that the prize can be that they can check their guess next to... It will make them curious and its fun!
4.SNACKS/DRINKS.... keep them happy!
5.MOOD--- have nice lighting, some yummy candles, and either some nice music
6.Have everyone try the sea salt scrub!

Best of luck!!

Oh, and you can also offer a 25% discount to any guest who books a show! Have this promotion framed and noticeable, as well as the host benefits!~

Great Tips!!!

That's right! Not only do you want your guests excited and ordering for themselves, but you want to book groups or have them excited about giving you referrals!

Wishing you the best!!
