I have had a large increase in on-line sales this holiday season...I am truly luvin it! Has anyone else seen this increase in their business?
 
I love being a TL and getting HO leads! I've got several hundred in online orders in the last couple months.
 
I always take the entire month of Dec off. so far I have over $900 in online orders :)
 
$900, wow! I was (and still am) happy with my $300!

I'm over $1000 since Thanksgiving. I have not done anything different than I have in the past so that is why I was wondering if others have experienced a high volume of online orders. I sent out my December newsletter (TT, of course) and an outlet newsletter around the 10th. Difficult to determine if they are HO sales, word of mouth, or from my contact list. Many do not give information. I always send out a "Thank You for your Order" postcard if I have the contact information.
