Today I want to talk to you about how to sell from home without getting into that bad wintery weather. I built a direct sales business in northern Michigan….in a lot of snow and bad weather! So today I want to share my secrets with you on how I kept my sales up during those cold winter months.
1- Flash Sale Fridays (or any day)
2- Facebook, Google Hangout, or Periscope parties- demonstrate, do drawings, take orders, and have fun
3- Show on the Go parties with 5 of your friends
4- If it’s just a flurry- have a flurry sale offering a discount or special gift if the party holds and they attend or order.
5- Text, dial, or facebook message past/ current customers for orders. Hold it as a Mystery Host partyIn the winter months double book your parties. One date is the party date and the second date is for a snow date, just in case the original date needs to get postponed due to weather.
Another fun idea to get people out to a wintery party is to offer a fun theme party with a summer or tropical theme… all the way down to the dress and snacks. It’s a fun way to bring hope that winter will soon be over and allows everyone to dream a little.
