Party plan sales

PARTY PLAN SALES

A veritable Gold Mine For Wealth Builders

Believe it! You can easily make £50,000 in the next six months or less! After that, you can practically be guaranteed at least that much, but probably much more, every year for the rest of your life, without really working.

The way to accumulate this kind of wealth is with your own business of selling merchandise via The Party Plan. few other businesses can so easily give you this kind of wealth as quickly, and keep your income growing.

A recent questionnaire, circulated among hundreds of successful direct sales merchandisers across the country asked this question: "If you were to start over today, knowing what you know now, and could choose the one method of merchandising that would make you really rich in the shortest period of time, which would you select?" Of those questionnaires returned, 94% stated they would go with The Party Plan Method.

The sharp party plan operators (and the richest) simply hold motivational sales meetings for their sub-distributors about once a month. During these meetings, they are teaching their sub-distributors how to recruit new hosts and hostesses, or husband and wife host and hostess teams.

A host or hostess can be any person who is agreeable to holding a sales party at his or her house. Almost always, this person is rewarded for having the party with a percentage of the total business or a agreed upon special merchandise gift.

These people invite friends, neighbors and relatives to the party. Your sub-distributor doesn't have to do much more than make contact with the people willing to hold parties, supply the merchandise, and sometimes offer to help or be there to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Here's the kind of money you can realize with this business: Say you have ten sub-distributors, and each one arranges only five parties a month, and each party does £200 in gross business. That's a total of £10,000 per month in total volume. And from that total volume, you make only 30%. Figure it out for yourself. This would give you a personal income of £3,000 for thirty days in which you did no more than hold one or two motivational sales meetings!

Besides each party is at least guaranteed to give your sub-distributor at least two more hostesses for future parties, and those future parties will provide still more hostesses. this chain is endless, and will build as fast as you can keep up with it.

Choose an evening for your party--any evening excepting Friday through the weekend. Generally 7:30 is the most convenient time for the greatest number of people. If it's inconvenient for whatever reason to hold a party in your home, arrange with a friend to hold the first couple of parties.

Make up a list of 30 to 40 people you can invite to the party. They can be friends, neighbours, relatives or people you know from work, even acquaintances with whom you do business such as the check-out clerk where you buy your groceries or people you meet at the bus stop on your way to work.

After formally inviting these people, you then call to remind them of the party at least a couple of days before the date of the party. This is important, because of the original 40 people you invite, at least 15 will not show because it slipped their minds, last minute circumstances that force change in plans, and those that really weren't interested in the first place.

On the day of the party, get your merchandise display set up early. The party should be held in the largest room in the home---usually the living room--with the merchandise display the center of attraction.

The merchandise should be set out on a sturdy table covered with a good white or light coloured cloth, and the merchandise should be arranged by group or type---the jewelry items together; perfumes bat oils and colognes together, crystal together, and so on.

Try to put a bit of imagination and showmanship into your merchandise display. This will have the effect of making your merchandise look much more valuable than it actually is. Those that do put a flair into their merchandise displays find that it increases their sales by as much as 25 percent over an ordinary showing.

For instances, a high intensity light focused on the display will cause the jewelry to sparkle, the stainless steel to gleam, and the brassware to glimmer like valuable heirlooms.

Another idea would be to tack a piece of velvet onto a 4 by 6 foot piece of plywood and use it to display rings, earrings, necklaces and watches.

In jewelry sales, another idea is to hang a mirror on a wall near the merchandise display. If you or your hostess has room, you might want to set up a card table, covered with an expensive looking piece of material, place a dressing table type mirror on this table, with a chair available for your guests to sit at the table while they try on the various items. The guests then make their selections after determining how each item looks on them.

regardless of what you do to make it easier for your guests to select and buy, a hand mirror is an absolute must whenever you're showing jewelry. It would be wise to have several hand mirrors available---two for your merchandise display table, and an extra one on the 'admiration" table.

Besides your merchandise display, be sure also you're organized with your refreshments. These usually consist of coffee, tea, soft drinks, cookies, or other "nibble' items. The host or hostess usually makes arrangements in advance for one of the guests to assist with the serving of refreshments.

Be sure you have nametags for your guests, and a couple of felt tip marking pens. And don't forget the order forms. these should be standard two-piece self-carbon forms---one copy for your customers and the other for your files. The best idea is to buy the order forms. All these items are commonly available in stationery stores. Rubber stamp your name and address on each copy of each order form, at least a couple days in advance of the party.

Still another item to remember is your merchandise catalogs. Be sure you have a good supply on hand, rubber stamped with your name and address. Later on, when you're established and the money is rolling in, you can have your name and address imprinted on your catalogs.

If you don't have a merchandise catalog, consider making one of your own. A valuable and easy-to-follow- manual "HOW TO PREPARE YOUR OWN CATALOG" (book #1203) is currently available. Another manual that will be of special interest to you is the "CLOSEOUT MERCHANDISE MONEY MAKING MANUAL" (book # 1668). Both these manuals are available from the dealer who supplied this report.

While we're on the idea of catalogs, we'd like to point out that a lot of Party Plan Merchandisers are also dealers for the extra-income book catalog, "Unique Books". They feel that almost everyone is interested in extra income ideas, and the Unique Books catalog has a wide selection of reports and manuals describing supplemental income opportunities. Leaving one of the book catalogs with guests at the party results in an on going flow of book orders for months afterward.

Back to the Party Plan. about half hour before your guests are due to begin arriving, turn on all the lights in the room where the party is to be held. This will give the room a bright, warm feeling conductive to a party kind of atmosphere. And by all means, be sure to turn off all the radios, stereo and TV sets. Eliminate any and all noises from other rooms in your home that might distract the attention of your guests.

Every party should be planned, and follow a prescribed format agenda. This is because without a plan, it'll just be a gathering of people wasting time at your home instead of theirs. you must have a plan to know what to do next in order to achieve the desired results. Having a "pattern" is also the easiest way to teach others to duplicate your success, and idea of following a successful formula is a proven method of making the most sales in the least time.

Phase one is the greeting and get-acquainted time slot--about thirty minutes. The hostess greets the guests as they arrive, prints a name tag for each, introduce them around, gives them a catalog, points out the refreshments, and leads them into conversation with the other guests.

The second phase is the " game-playing"portion of your party. This phase is used to relax everybody and get them involved in the party. It should last about 15 to 20 minutes.

Next comes the merchandise presentation by the hostess, who shows and describes each item on display. If you have a jewelry available, ask different guests to try on particular items and show the others what these articles look like in use. the length of time spent on this phase of the party will depend in large on how much merchandise you have on display, but generally, you shouldn't spend more than about 20 minutes showing and describing your merchandise. Then give your guests about 10 to 15 minutes to personally inspect and try on the items that have aroused their interest.

You should mingle and converse with the guests during this time period in order to answer specific questions or explain the possible uses of an item, where it might look good in the buyer's home, and any interesting tidbits relating to where an item came from, how it was made, or the satisfaction of an earlier buyer.

When you seem to have answered all the questions, and everyone appears to have made their selections, start writing orders. Don't hesitate to ask for orders. Writing orders should take about 15 minutes, and then you should let the party begin winding down.

During this time, mingle with your guests and anyone showing a spark of interest should be approached with an offer to serve as a future host or hostess. As each guest starts to leave, thank them for coming and walk with them to the door.

The total length of your party shouldn't be much more than two hours. Time and time again, it's been proven that you can do everything necessary, and make the most sales in this period of time. You lose effectiveness and make fewer sales with appreciably more or less time.

There are a couple of proven ways to recruit new hosts or hostesses from the people attending your party. First of all, watch the guests as they are looking over the merchandise, examine, admire and wish for something they don't quite have enough extra money to buy. When you've determined that a particular guest wants a specific item but can't quite fit it into the budget, simply take her aside to a secluded corner of the room, and explain privately that you're willing to give her the item she has been looking at and wanting, if she will agree to invite her friends and relatives to a party in her home.

This approach works almost every time, and your only expense is the wholesale price of the item you give her as a free give.

The second sure-fire approach is to offer a cash incentive. You do this by offering to allow 5% to 10% of the total sales volume resulting from the party staged for you by this type of recruit. Ther's a plus factor for you on this one, because you'll be getting the enthusiastic participation of the host or hostess on the selling side. Once you've explained to them how your program works, they'll generally do everything they can to make the party a huge success, and thereby increase their pay for the evening.

When you give a gift to the hostess for having the party, the presentation should be a special ceremony staged with all the "Show Biz" flair you can muster, at the end of your merchandise showing. However, when your gift is a cash award, carry your presentation over to the next party and make it a big production of it as well. Don't forget to invite the "guest of honor" to your next scheduled party for the big presentation.

During these presentations many of the other guests will be favorably impressed, and as a consequence will ask for details.

Actually, your recruiting efforts should begin when you start taking orders. Every person you talk with should be offered the opportunity to hold a party of his or her own. Then just before the party begins breaking up, ask you guest as a group if any of them would be interested in holding a similar party in his or her home. You ask those who voice an interest to stay for a few minutes in order to work out the details.

You should have an Appointment Book for this scheduling. Simply ask what date would be favorable for them, mark that date in the book, along with the name and address and telephone number. Then assure each that you'll call in the next day or two to work out the details.

Many party plan merchandisers also use a letter. They write a letter extolling the fun and excitement of the parties, explaining briefly the opportunities to receive free gifts of their choice or big commission checks. Then they invite the letter recipients to call for complete details on how they can stage a party. These letters are usually printed in volume, and then slipped inside the covers of the catalog these merchandisers give to each person attending the parties. Sometimes these letters are handed to each guest as the party breaks up.

Some party plan merchandisers also run small classified ads in the area newspapers. This advertising plays up to the opportunities available to make regular commission checks (extra income) simply by holding parties in their home. people interested are invited to phone for more details. response to this kind of ad is generally very good, with the conversion rate better than sixty percent!

Most people tend to feel party plan merchandising is exclusive to women, but don't you believe it! It's true that women generally establish themselves more rapidly than men with this kind of sales operation, but over the long haul there are just as many men operating successful party plan sales operations as there are women.

Men are usually not as adept in establishing social "chit-chat" relationships as women. Therefore, the man who wants in on the vast potential of party plan merchandising should consider working with a women.

A husband and wife partnership is an ideal working arrangement. An acquaintance, girlfriend or relative will often work out just as successfully. The basic requirement is simply that the "couple" must function as a team, with the individual talents of one complementing those of the other.

Probably one of the greatest secrets of success with this kind of sales operation is that in order to make the sales, and talk about £400 parties, you must have the widest selection of merchandise possible.

Many beginners, not understanding that offering the potential buyers a wide and varied selection of items to choose from is what builds your profits in a hurry, base their entire merchandising plan around a selection that's of special interest or particularly appealing to themselves It's all right to include the items that you especially like, but don't base your entire merchandise line on the things you like you're selling to others not yourself!

Most successful party plan merchandisers advise that you should display at least forty different items, and more if you have the supplier contacts or the buying expertise. The actual decisions on which products to carry and display at your parties should be based upon these four factors: 1) The kinds of gift items, personal decor articles and general merchandise the people in your area are buying; 2) The style or fads currently in vogue in your area; 3) Contacts with enough suppliers who can furnish you with the kind of merchandise your potential buyers want; 4) Your ability to shop among the various suppliers, and verify that you are getting the very best merchandise value obtainable.

Still another point to consider before buying merchandise to display and sell; Do the prices you're having to pay for your products wholesale allow you enough room for a reasonable profit when compared to your time and expense?

Do some market research relative to your ambitions; get answers to the questions we've set forth for you, and when you're satisfied that you understand the workings of Party Plan Merchandising, grab the opportunity and run with it!

Top tips and how you can make money online!

noreply@blogger.com (Kay) — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 11:16:00 +0000

Top tips and how you can make money online!

Well it can be done. You don't even need to check the stats. As broadband has increased and sales of PCs and laptops have become much more affordable. More people than ever are now online. This provides a great market place for your new website, or online web business.

As the credit crunch has hit nationwide. People still haven't stopped spending, local shops may have closed, mostly because the rents and rates are too high. All this has done is send shoppers online. The need for products or services just won't cease, just where they are sold that has changed. Take a look at your high street. Where I live in Brighton, the town is heaving with shoppers. The lanes, north laines and the commercial shopping areas. There is money out there and online. So what are you waiting for. Go and find it and create products or services for those shoppers waiting to spend!

If you are really serious about selling online and making an income from it, do it properly and do some research. Make sure you buy a good domain name that states what you are selling. Ie.laminateflooring.com rather than floorconstructionltd.com. Thats where I went wrong on my first website. People would ask me what did it mean? And what was I selling? If you have got the money to create a brand name ( Orange, TESCO) support it with thousands of marketing and PR then go ahead. But I didn't so think again.

I have narrowed down how to make money online in four easy steps. The first one is;

Become an online retailer

Popular and more of a well known option to make money online. Is to start your own online shop. Sell what ever you like or sell a product you know a lot about. You can sell practically every conceivable product. Either sell merchants or affilate products or services.

Think about where you can market and sell your product. It really is a good idea to have a plan. If you find it hard to sell or market your product maybe you should try selling something else. You really want something that is quick to market and starts generating sales.

Start your own website and make money

noreply@blogger.com (Kay) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:05:00 +0000

I have always wanted to write about starting your own website, and how to make money from your website. Like you we have all come across loads of websites claiming they make hundreds or thousands a week!

Either from blogging, creating an ebook or an e-commerce site. Mmmm... is my only response, however if you tap in your browser 'how much does your website make online' or ask the question in some forums, you will find a whole different response. Some mention they make 2p a day or £100 in 6 months. That does sound rather worrying but it gave me and may give you a starting point and something to aim for! If you really want to start your own website and make money!

I personally started my own website back in January 2008. Not this one, another one! (Technically this is my first blog, anyway. )I remember even creating a business plan to help plan my website. I sat there for a few weeks on my PC and even went to bed in the early hours. I eventually hit the publish button and waited for the traffic and visitors to flow.

Starting your own website is a learning curve, seo, keywords, meta tags, domain name and so on!

Which is why when I hit the publish button and didn't receive any traffic or visitors, you kind of go into a mad panic. Desperate for sales you start looking into buying visitors, stupid link exchanges and wasting tons of money on google adwords.

As my google adwords budget began to run dry and I was desperate for traffic, so I decided to think like google thinks. Google makes money from other peoples websites. So that's exactly what I did.The more websites I created will bring in an income and direct traffic to my websites.I created a new website ( Uk family attractions ) which would in turn direct traffic to my previous website. It worked! I got traffic which I didn't have to pay tons of money for. However I started to make more money through google adsense on UKfamily attractions, rather than sales on my previous site! I soon realised why, for starters my second website was more seo tailored. Not because I'm an expert, far from it. But you know a lot more second time around.

Good domain name
Easier to create a new website when you know how
Better page titles and so on
Sometimes it makes better sense to stick to co.uk rather than .com

I have now made about 7 websites in total, I read about a guy who has made 140 websites and is now a millionaire. I thought I could do that but now I am struggling to keep up with maintaining 7 websites. The keyword i find i keep saying to myself is FOCUS. You may agree, is it easier and more cost effective to make 1 really good website, rather than loads of sites!

If you want to make money online, like all businesses it's all about what your mission statement is, what do you want to achieve. Do you want to create £100 a month or like me £500 a month or increase your sales or visitors to your site or blog!

Once you have figured that out then start planning and FOCUS!

It can be done, for me i have created websites that bring in a passive income. I don't have to be there all day writing or researching content to add. ( I'm a mum with four kids) I just check my stats and my affilate networks to see how much money I have made!

Iike anything in life it takes hard work and plenty of time. For me there are still loads I need to do and learn. But I realise I obviously know more than some because I make a lot more than 2p a day!

Follow the three Ps. Be prepare, prompt and polite. Prepare to complete your surveys like you would prepare for any job or career. Have a quite area, get comfortable and relax, while you work.
Answer the questions honestly, some surveys offer your the opportunity to come back and complete them later. But be prompt and answer them within the time schedule.
Get yourself a separate email account for your paid online surveys. In fact get a separate one for each! You will be able to stay on top of your incoming surveys, so you don't miss any.
Sign up to more than one paid survey company. That way you are completing more surveys and making more money. Furthermore all online paid survey sites have different pay dates and schedules. Some have been known to have strict payment schedules. You may have deadlines to request payments, to receive payments. So at least you may have payments coming in each or every other month!
Take into consideration of the exchange rate when it comes to redeeming your points into cash. That's why mums make money has tried to focus on UK and European survey sites.
Be prepared for hard work. If you really want to succeed, then you will succeed.
No real paid online survey should ask you to pay before you join.

If you follow and take the advice above you should fully succeed at paid online surveys. And become like one of my colleagues who make around £250 a month. Sign up to paid online surveys and make a steady income!
