Jan-Feb Sales Promo: Ideas for Last-Minute Sales

[k1tchng0ddess]

Hi,
I am trying to earn level 1 for the Jan-Feb sales promotion. So far I have only $1209.85 in sales with one party to go. I think I will fall short of the $2500 goal, so I am trying to figure out a last-minute Internet promotion to send to my customers. I want to make it sound exciting rather than just sending out an email begging for orders so I can meet a quota. I did a January white sale email where I offered anything in the catalog that was white for 10% off and had some success. Does anyone have any creative ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Barbara

Honestly, you will spend more in "consultant gift" than the price of any of those level 1 prizes. They are all around $60 each, and if you offered 10% off to get to $2500, you'd be spending $130.Not worth it IMHO.

Well, you made me feel a little bit better about it, but I really do want to increase my sales for the Disney trip too. Maybe this isn't the best way to go about it though! LOL
I have a full March booked, so the bookings will definitely come for the following months.

Don't forget - even with offering 10% off, you will still be making commission on those additional sales (20% atleast - 10% offer).

If you sell $1300, you would make atleast $260 then pay out $130 in the special you are offering. That still leaves you $130 ahead.

But it's still $130 out of her commission (pocket) for a $60 item. I would not do it.

I'm a little bit short of the Level 1 goal. I sent an Outlet e-mail to my customers with the hope that it will drum up some business. I also promoted the Heart Dish as a Mother's Day gift idea. Kelly
