Basket Parties

I don't know about you, but Spring is my busiest time of year. Between work, church and kid activities I do not have many evenings available for Scentsy home parties. I do still try and do them, but Basket Parties keep me going in the spring. You may you whatever you would like for your "basket". I use a scrapbook organizer for mine. You may purchase those at Hobby Lobby, Michael's, Wal-Mart or any craft store. Watch for coupons in your local paper. I currently have 2 baskets for parties and I am considering a third.


It’s (Basket) Party Time!

Wish you could clone yourself and be dozens of places at once? A Basket Party can’t wash your dishe s or collect your dry cleaning, but it can effortlessly multiply your sales efforts. To learn what a Basket Party is (and how to make it work for you)
read on!

A Basket Party is just what it sounds like -a party in a basket! To create a Basket Party, simpl y assemble Basket Party Testers (available under “Business Supplies” ), order forms, catalogs, a calculator and a hostess envelope in an attractive basket.

Think of a Basket Party as a portable miniature Scentsy Showroom.

Here are some ideas that have worked very well for me:

 Store at least one “Basket Party” in your car at all times so
you can take advantage of unexpected opportunities to display
your products.

 Brainstorm a list of merchants and professionals you
regularly patronize (your beauty salon, bakery, dentist, etc.)
Take a “Basket Party” along on your next visit.

 Remember to take Basket Parties to your home parties—you
never know when you might meet a motivated prospective
recruit.

 Assemble a miniature “Basket Party” to take with you when
you travel long distances. Utilize downtime on trains and
planes to showcase Scentsy.

For official “Basket Party” guidelines, see page 28 in the Scentsy Handbook

Market YOUR Scentsy Business

Let's talk about finding unique ways to market your Scentsy business. There is literally a special or kooky holiday for every day of the year that you can figure out some way to give people things in the name of the holiday. Well I found a website for random holidays.

It is http://holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/index.htm Feel free to look around this site. It is a hoot. I am totally going to start today with Do a Grouch a Favor Day- I am going to find the grumpiest looking person to give a sample to. LOL!! Tomorrow is the best day to get out. It is Random Acts of Kindness Day!!

So email your downline/team to let them know tomorrow is a perfect day to hand out samples all over town!!!

Looking forward to our call on Thursday with Cheri. Have a great day!!

Free stuff from Vistaprint

Cheri and I both have ordered a bunch of stuff from Vistaprint (for free) in the last couple of weeks. Go to their website and set up an account. You will receive promitional emails from them almost daily. I have had severa ask what do I order and what information do I use. I will send and email of what I have done. I tried to post to the blog but I could not get it to work.

I would suggest only using the "Scentsy" logo if anything. Anything else would have to be approved through Scentsy Inc.
