How Can I Boost My PC Business After a Year Away?

[mom2kr]

Since I last was involved with PC about 1 year ago?

What do you all do when you can't get any bookings? I have asked family members, and friends from church and no one will book with me? I have even just suggested a catalog show.

Sometimes, I wonder if PC is not the right thing for me. I have thought about going into another direct sales, but when I have expressed this to my sisters, they just complain and say they don't have any money!!

What to do??

Finding PC loversIt's such a discouraging situation to be stuck in the same circle of friends and family that may feel pressured to buy from our new business venture. My family always was supportive but I didn't want to take advantage of that. I had to get out of my circle of friends and family after only a few months. I ran out of people to do shows.
So I began to advertise and get out to my neighbors. I am in a new neighborhood now, where we just bought a house 9 months ago. I am meeting new people left and right and feel that this is very good for my business. I know there are plenty of women out there who love PC, I just have to find them. It's going to take some work. I advertise at doctor's offices, kid's resale shops, insurance offices, carry my Pc bag to the grocery store, leave cards everywhere they will let me and advertise through word of mouth from my friends and family who let their co-workers and neighbors know about me.
I have a nice customer base but I would like more. I do this as a hobby so whatever I make as profit really doesn't contribute to any bills. IT's pretty much for me to spend on whatever. We are blessed financially with my husband's job so that I can do this as a hobby and to collect lots of FREE stuff. I do like to make extra money to have for myself, gifts for my hubby and the kids. So I am still venturing out to find those PC lovers. You will find them too if you look for them. Don't give up. I think that all direct sales will have the same results if you don't get out of your circle!! Hope it works out for you. Remember we all have our slow seasons!

First of all, don't get discouraged! Every direct sales company has its ups and downs, and it's common to experience a lull in bookings. Here are a few tips to help you get back on track with your PC business:1. Reconnect with past customers: Reach out to previous customers and see if they are interested in hosting another party or purchasing products. You can also offer them a discount or incentive for bringing a friend to the party.2. Utilize social media: Use platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to promote your business and reach potential customers. Share photos of your products, host online parties, and offer special deals or promotions.3. Attend vendor events: Look for local events where you can set up a booth and showcase your products. This is a great way to meet new people and potentially get new bookings.4. Offer incentives for bookings: Consider offering a free product or discount to anyone who books a party with you. People love getting something for free, so this can be a great motivator for them to book with you.5. Host a virtual party: If you're having trouble finding people to host in-person parties, consider hosting a virtual party instead. This allows you to reach a wider audience and can be more convenient for busy individuals.Remember, consistency is key in the direct sales industry. Keep promoting your business, reaching out to potential customers, and offering incentives for bookings. Don't give up, and you will see results! Good luck!
