Plan Your Holiday Showcase: Tips for Early December Success

[mhrivera]

There's been so much talk about fall open houses and such, and now I want to hold my own Holiday Showcase. I can display the new products, and gift ideas, like the batter bowl recipes, and such. My question is, I would like to have it very early December, to get some Sell a thon sales, but is that too late? I want to make sure everyone gets their gifts in time for Christmas, but I'm not sure how long the shipping would take. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Melissa

Usually we have until around the 15th or 17th to get in-time shipping. You should be fine to have an open house then; I would suggest early in the month though!

I had a Holiday open house last December on the first weekend and everybody had their items in plenty of time for Christmas. Just be sure to get their money or credit card #'s and submit within a few days.

I would do it very early in December so people get it early in December so they still have time to assemble gifts or send them out of state. Last year all my customers got them in time for Christmas, but not before early Christmas parties!

SuggestionsI have only been selling since April of this year and I live in a really small town. I also happen to be the only PC consultant in this area, does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the word out ???

Leah, first of all, I have seen lots of your comments, and your positive statement on the bottom of "I will be a director July 1, 2007 and walk across the stage at conference" is challenging to me! Think positive...I like it! I am not too far away from you-- I am in Gresham, Oregon (by Portland). I recently moved from Brookings, OR on the CA border, on the coast. I too was the only consultant, and it was great !(the only one for about 70 miles) If I wore my logo shirt, I got comments, anything with the logo, and people would chat with me and I would give them a card/catalog. I now live in a bigger area with 2 other consultants within the same block!! Much more challenging!
So, invest in some logo stuff--it pays!

I moved to Astoria last summer from the Gorge out by Hood River, I accutally lived in White Salmon, WA..
