SET YOUR GOAL to increase Retail volume in addition to your ‘regular business’ (prospecting, one on one’s, groups, etc.) ENHANCE your business & INCOME with Holiday Sales!

“I would like to earn an extra $_________________ with my Arbonne Holiday Business”

Order Holiday Line and catalogs (the holiday line you deomonstrate is a tax write-off)

Shop for bags, baskets, Mylar, ribbon, stationery, etc. art craft stores, target, Dollar Store, etc. (again, a tax write-off)

Hold a “Holiday Open House” or “Show ‘n’ Shop” in your home.  Or, go in with another consultant(s).  An afternoon, and evening time slot is better than an ‘all day & evening’ event.  1-3pm & 7-9pm. Or spread out over two days like Saturday 11-4 and Sunday 1 - 5.

Hold your Holiday Open house no later than November
Create an incentive for them to attend (refreshments, ordering specials, gifts, etc)
Follow-up afterwards with those who couldn’t attend, and schedule an appointment for them and ‘shop’ with you!

Holiday Hostesses
In addition to your ‘catalog presentation’ and ‘Hormone Balance” groups, Offer your prospects, clients, and past hostesses an opportunity to HOST a “Holiday Arbonne Party”, where your focus is on holiday.  They will still receive the wonderful hosting gifts!

MEN!
12 days of Christmas  (see www.spiritwings.com, consultant resources, ROM)
Men’s letter:  Make a list of all the men you know (client’s husbands, men you do business with, your husband’s friends, relatives, school & church contacts, etc).  Contact them and let them know that you offer Custom Gift Baskets, personalized and ready to go for their:  Wife, Mother, Daughter, Secretary.

Men can often be last minute shoppers. Ask them if they need gifts, what price range (offer choices like $50, $100 and $150...) discover their preferred method of payment.
