I have the Arbonne window cling on my vehicle. And my domain name under it- www.MySkinCareConsultant.com (http://www.MySkinCareConsultant.com) It's like a moving billboard.smileys/smiley4.gif

Are you getting business just from that do you think? How did you get your website on there?

I've gotten a few online orders that way. I had a local printer print it up for me, it'sa long strip about 3.5 inches high (guestimate), I put it at the bottom of the back window, the Arbonne cling is at the top of the window. I always try to park where I'm sure people will see it the best!smileys/smiley2.gif

well, if you feel like no one is going to book from those 6 shows, chances are no one will. You'll be giving off that 'vibe', KWIM? If instead, you think, I am a show booking queen! Everybody's going to want to host a show for me! That's the 'vibe' you want to give off.smileys/smiley4.gif


What you think about, you bring about! Stay Positive!

You can also offer specials for those who do book from those shows to encourage it. Some consultants are very up front during their presentations and let the group know the $ amt they expect to earn for the host of the party as well as how many shows she expects to book from that particular show. Some just flat out say that they rely on referrals and contributions from current customers ~ some also share what their goals are as far as their business is concerned and let the groups know that they'd appreciate any help the attendee's can offer by hosting a party for them.


Also point out what the hostess gets out of it (i.e. ~ tonight we are going to try to get Hostess Name Here $200 worth of FREE product or $200 of product for just $40). Also show them the gift that you are giving to your hostess and let them know that every host gets a gift from you. Give all of your customers a "wish list" ~ if they mention thatthey can't afford to buy everything they want ~ show them how they can get everything they want, and maybe more, by hosting a party, etc, etc, etc.


You can also do the "Book to Look" envelopes.


Good luck!

Book to Look envelopes? Is that like the Let's Make a Deal Game? Where there are 2 sets of envelopes small ones that say, Win a Prize & Host a Party and the other envelopes that all contain a prize if they know they want to host a party? If not the same thing, I'd love to know more about it.


How else have y'all been able to drum up business? I don't know a lot of people in my area and I am a little stumped. Help!
