Boost Your Business with a Personal Website - One Customer's Success Story!

[dannyzmom]

...those emails that say "Web Activity" - they really perk me up!! Any of you who have not yet set up your personal website...you don't know what you are missing!!!!

I give out my business cards to anyone who will take them. I post them on any public bulletin board where people post business cards, I leave them with every waitress, hostess, etc...

Today I got a phone call from a guy who came across my business card - he wasn't even sure where...but he just knew he needed more SA pieces to complete his dinnerware setting now that his grandkids were coming for dinner more often. He bought 4 sets of Med Squares, 4 sets of Med bowls and a set of Petite Squares...CHA-CHING!!!!!

I love my PWS!!!

Carolyn,
Do you write anything on the back of your business cards when you leave them with waitresses, etc?

 

[dannyzmom]

Nope...just plain old Merrill business cards

Love mine too - I had a $1,009 "anonymous" order that I will NEVER, EVER, forget!!! It drove me nuts because the customer chose not to be contacted, that HO gave me some "hints" (city shipped to, etc) so I could track it down. We finally linked it to my husband's secretary taking a catalog home and her husband passed it on to a friend's husband - his wife then placed that LARGE order!! Woo-Hoo. Highly recommend the website.

Can't say that I have ever gotten one of those e-mails?!?!? Are they for directors only? I have had my website since they were first available and only get one when someone orders through a show - is the 'web activity' for those placing individual orders only?

I had the excitement of a web order on one of my three bridal registries. It was the only one so far, but it is a start. That bride was married Aug. 12th,
and the order was placed very close to that time. It's helping me with my totals for this month, and now the $1,250 is within reach.

You get these emails when someone places an individual order thru your website - an order not affiliated with a show.

You also get an email when someone orders through a show, but doesn't want to use a credit card. Then you contact them about payment. I have had my website for almost 2 years. I have to say that I have yet to see it bring in even a fraction of its cost. I have had 2 orders. I have no hosts who want to use it. I put my web address on catalogs, business cards, flyers...you name it....I tell all of my customers and hosts. I wish they would put a counter on there so we know how many people are visiting. They keep saying they can't, but it is on every other web site I visit, so why can't we have it?

I just had to bump this up to share...If you guys have a website...and if you're sending out your invites; definately put a label on them telling if they can't order to go to your website. Last week I got 8 orders off my website to add to my shows! Talk about making it easy for me & for my hosts

I am so happy to hear about your Web success. I just signed up Monday night for my Web site and am really excited about the prospects. For those of you who have the site I have a couple questions: I presume you also send regular invites to the host for those guests who do not have an e-mail address (right?) and please give me all of your learned lessons. I am a sponge for information.

 

[tlennhoff]

I suggest "double" invites for guests - both the e-vite and the regular mail invites.

Triple-play here!
Phone + e-vite + reminder postcard = big show!

Yes, definately!! I always say call first & tell them they'll be getting a reminder card in the mail or e-vite.
