I just wanted to share - Julie Ann Jones posted this to her blog today.
http://julieannejones.com/my-best-direct-sales-holiday-tips

I also wanted to add something to the bottom of her list of things you can do. Within the next week, whenever my husband can stay home all day with Abel, I plan on going to a mall and doing ____ by talking to people. I'd love some tips on what to do, how to approach people, what to bring. Etc. Also what time of day would be best to go to the mall on a Saturday or Sunday without it being overcrowded but not dead-still either.

The "_______" is there because I'm not exactly sure what I plan to accomplish. I'll have my catalog tote and somehow I hope to just get people talking and maybe get a few bookings.


(note: wasn't sure where to put this thread - thought it fit well with about 5 categories!)
 
Thanks, Shelby. Some really great information for keeping things in perspective and focused...
 
Thanks!!!!
 

1. What are some tips for increasing holiday sales in direct sales?

During the holiday season, it's important to focus on building relationships with your customers. This can be done through personalized follow-ups, offering exclusive holiday deals, and hosting holiday-themed parties or events. Additionally, make sure to highlight gift ideas and bundles that are perfect for the holiday season.

2. How can I effectively manage my time during the busy holiday season?

One tip for managing your time during the holidays is to plan ahead and prioritize your tasks. Make a schedule and stick to it, focusing on the most important and time-sensitive tasks first. Also, don't be afraid to delegate tasks to team members or enlist the help of friends and family.

3. What are some creative ways to market my products during the holiday season?

Utilize social media to showcase your products and holiday specials. Consider partnering with other direct sales consultants to host joint events or cross-promote each other's products. You can also offer personalized gift wrapping or create gift guides to make it easier for customers to find the perfect gift.

4. How can I stand out from other direct sales companies during the holiday rush?

One way to stand out is to offer exceptional customer service. Respond promptly to inquiries and orders, and go above and beyond to make sure your customers are satisfied. You can also differentiate yourself by offering unique products or hosting creative events that showcase your products in a memorable way.

5. What are some strategies for retaining customers after the holiday season?

Make sure to follow up with customers after their holiday purchases to thank them and ask for feedback. Offer loyalty rewards or incentives for future purchases, and continue to engage with them through social media and email marketing. Additionally, consider hosting post-holiday events or offering special deals to keep customers coming back throughout the year.
