I am trying to increase my sales for December. I was thinking of doing a Holiday Open House. I had made a long list of contacts. But I am concerned because I have been having health issues. I am afraid of overdoing it. I have alot on my plate. My November sales are around $2,500. And really want my December sales to be around the same or higher.
So I was thinking of sending out flyers/ emails and having a sale/promotion?!. (Black Friday) I know I would have at least $500 in sales, so I thought I could break down the host benefits and have a drawing for anyone who places an order.
Example:
1 50% off
1 50% off
1 25% off
1 60% off monthly special
1 $50 in free product
1 $40 in free product
1 $25 in free product (this I would offer out of my own pocket)
Anyone who places an order can receive the Seasons Best Cookbook for FREE. Depending on how many orders are received, I would just put there name in a hat and pick who gets one of the above.
I have never done anything like this before and just wanted your opinions.
I know it would be better to do at my house but I couldn't have it until the
1st w/0 Dec. I worry with the possiblity of snow ( then no body will get up my LONG STEEP driveway) Between that, not feeling well, the crazy barking dogs, ect...
Do you think it's worth a shot?
