I am going on vacation to the beach at the end of July. Any ideas on creative ways to get sales while there (without too much work, since I am on vacation!):p
 
I am going on vacation as well. I plan on taking some catalogs with me - since I am visiting family, it will be very easy to talk about it and maybe get some sales. I would carry the catalog tote bag as a beach bag and keep it visible.
 
We're leaving here in about an hour to go 7 hrs. away for a family reunion. I made a salad in the trifle bowl to take to the dinner, and am throwing a few of my tools into a box to take along in case I get the "chance" to make a torte for dessert one of the evenings we're there! Oh yeah--catalogs, OOFs, and a host pkt. for a long distance catalog show
 
Take lots of things that say PC... bags, shirts, buttons/pins, etc. And carry a catalog tote as your purse.
It would be nice if we could get beach towels/picnic blankets with PC on them... for times like this.
 
Oh yeah--A PC beach towel would be AWESOME! Drum up business at the Pool with DS!
 
Of course, while you are eating your snacks on the outdoor plates using your outdoor silverware, drinking from your outdoor cu... oh wait... we don't have those yet - maybe an idea for next summer - CUPS!
 
oooohh I would love to have a beach towel!! Or how about some flip flops that leave Pampered Chef in the sand like the bride and groom ones :cool: :cool: That would be awesome!!
 
I'm leaving for vacation too, and have been thinking about how to get some orders or even recruit leads too! We are going to visit my dad who just moved to a new house so he really hasn't had a chance to meet that many people, but I'm gonna try to meet them myself if I have to!;)
