But I did come to the same conclusion. It's TOO informative. It needed to be way more simplified.
I had commissionable sales of $746!! I'm using it again this year, just changing the specials. I only use this flyer thru email...at my shows, I get everyone's email address when they find that I only send out 6 emails a year. I had a friend tell me she always opens my emails because she knows I'm having a sale or I wouldn't be sending something out! So, I won't be changing my Black Friday sale flyer this year! Thanks Shelby!!! :love:
And thanks for sharing yours Rae! I think I'm going to try a combo of the two...when I sort it out I'll share. I need the sales but also need to get bookings, so I'll like to offer an incentive for that too. Jane, I like your idea about the calendars and the gift certificates. I didn't get calendars this year, but maybe I'll just try the gift certificates and a card and see where that gets me.
You would manually calculate what the customer's balance is, then when entering payments into P3, use the "Consultant Gift" option to account for the difference in what the customer is paying and what P3 is calculating as a total.In order to allow for the discounts online, you will have to set up a show for the orders to be placed under. You can make the host's name "Black Friday" or use your name, whatever works. Then, once the order is pulled into P3, you make the modifications and let your customer know of their adjusted/discounted total.Kristirae said:
Hey Kristi, I just asked my director this same question. Go to payments. Click on payment type and scroll past check, cash, etc. There you will find a Consultant Gift. This is where you put your discount. She said at the end of the year you will be able to see how much your Consultant Gifts were so that you would have them on your taxes. I hope this helps.Kristirae said:
Yes, a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale can be worth the effort for Pampered Chef consultants. These shopping events typically see a surge in consumer spending, which can lead to increased sales and potential new customers for your business.
Participating in these sales can help you boost your sales volume, attract new customers, and increase brand visibility. Additionally, offering special promotions can encourage existing customers to make repeat purchases.
Utilize social media platforms, email newsletters, and your personal website to promote your sale. Create engaging content that highlights the benefits of your products and any special offers you have in place. Consider using countdowns and reminders to create urgency.
Offering discounts, bundle deals, or free shipping can be very effective. Additionally, consider running limited-time offers or exclusive products to entice customers to make a purchase during the sale period.
Absolutely. Increased traffic often leads to more questions from potential customers. Be prepared to respond promptly to inquiries and provide excellent customer service to enhance the shopping experience and encourage sales.
