I hadn't planned on it..but now I actually have a show booked that evening..so..I think I might offer something special for the people who show up.

 

No only because I'm already doing an anniversary sale and I have to work that day.

 

I'm thinking about doing an online 10% off sale. It will depend on how the rest of Nov. goes and where I am with S-A-T. That's the good thing about Tgiving being so late in the month.

 

are you sending out a flier to communicate the sale? If so, would you please post? This will be my first Black Friday and I need all the help I can get. Thank you.

 

What do you do about shipping?
Direct to you, or the customer?
Thanks... I was thinking about doing htis later in month, for SAT of course!

 

This year with select Simple Additions on sale for 20% off, you may want to change that sale discount! People could end up with pieces a lot cheaper than you would get commission to cover! How would you cover 25% off anyway? I'll look up my Black Friday flyer from last year and post later!

 

Rae,
thanks for sharing!

 

Rae..I love your sale..I might do something like that..thank you so much for sharing.

I have to agree with the SAT sales..I really would like to earn some free stuff this year..I don't normally..but I would really like to.

 

Rae-Make sure to change your December date to 2009. Do you find that you get most of your calls/emails during the 25% off time? I've done this type of sale before and people want to preorder since that's when they are thinking of it so let them have whatever the first discount was. I tend to get a lot of immediate responses from my newsletters. So how do you handle that?

 

But how do you deal with preorders? Or have you not dealt with or considered that?

 

My director just shared a nearly identical sale idea with various discounts depending on the time... she also offers free shipping if they pick it up from her. I'm planning on using the idea as well! Not for money-making, but for SAT!
I'm curious to know other's opinions on the presale too. I'm thinking I would offer the 10% off if someone says they just can't call in or email within the specific timeframes....

 

I love this idea! thank you for sharing!

 

I did a Black Friday sale last year and had over $1000 in sales. I am going to do one again just on Saturday instead of Friday. I guess it will be a black saturday sale I am doing it with several other consultants from other ds companies and we are going to do it in a neutral location. We are going to try to advertise on the community billboard to get some people outside of our customer base. We may even advertise in the paper.

 

I did this one last year and here it is updated for this year. I had NO takers last year but my customer base is about doubled since then so hopefully I will do as good as nene did! I really want to have a HUGE SAT month!

 

I'd like to advertise something like that, but I'm going to have to wait until some of my other shows close. I don't want anyone not ordering from one of my hosts because they can get it from me cheaper later.
Rae, I use your stratagy with my fundraisers. I don't make anything from them, but I get new customers and it adds to my monthly sales total.

 

I did add a disclaimer last year that if they were ordering from one of my Hosts (and named them), I would be glad to honor the specials as well for their Show orders. As I said, no one took me up on it!

 

Jane, Don't take this the wrong way, but there is ALOT going on with your flyer. It was a bit tough to read. Maybe a few less items would be helpful for your customers! Just an opinion.

I did a Black Friday Sale last year with sales like Rae's and I did almost $500 with it...after the discount! I am doing another one this year!!

Good luck to everyone!

 

I'm doing something similar to Jane's only I've combined a few of the time slots to 2 hour slots instead of 1 hour slots. I searched on the files and combined a few black friday sales flyers I found. This is my first year so we'll see how it goes! I only have 2 shows booked this month so far (have a few calls out for booking) so I'm hoping this will at least give me one more show!

 

I love this idea too and am going to give it a go!!!

 

thanks for sharing this is great!!!

 

I'll be in NYC for Thanksgiving (Macy's Parade live, woohoo!) and Black Friday shopping myself during my sale, so I won't be answering my phone either. Yay for voicemail and email!! I hope it turns out well!!

 

Oh! I used your sale information and created a postcard...thought I'd share!! I mailed this out today!

 

I don't have Publisher, do you have another program that you could save it to?

 

Chris...I think that is a better idea. I will use Elise's idea of combining some hours and eliminating others! Thanks for the suggestions! Maybe it will be more "user-friendly" this way!

Check this out and see what ya'll think!

 

Let me see if I can convert it to a pdf...

 

No pressure but wondering if you have had a chance to work on this. I'll be out Friday as well

 

wondered if you were able to do as a pdf... i don't have publisher either and would like to see your idea

 

Question: If you are using your website for Black Friday discounts, how will the discounts you are offering be applied? I would like to do a Black Friday Sale and I love all of these ideas that you gals have. Are you setting up a Black Friday Sale on your Website and then transfering the sales to your Pampered Partner Plus software? I'm confused on this........
Thanks in advance for your replies..........
Vicky~~
