THE FALL BRINGS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A VENDOR AT HOLIDAY EVENTS.
YOUR TABLE CAN BE SMALL OR LARGE!
The way to get your products into the hands of customers is to make your presense known in the community. Avon has everything but it also has some specials that everyone looks for at a table.GIVE OUT BROCHURES AND BUSINESS CARDS FIRST AND FOREMOST Get your information in the hands of potential customers, fundraisers and business partners.
Tis the season to make a nice cup of tea or coffee and shop online to avoid the crowds.
WE HAVE EVERYTHING!
WHERE: House Parties, Church Bazaars, Neighborhood Holiday Events, Host your own Holiday Event!
What: Skin So Soft, I take Bug Guard into Fall, Glimmersticks, Footworks, Hand Cream especial Intensive Care, Liquid Make-up remover, Towelettes Make-up remover, Nail Polish, Lipsticks if not hot.
I also take Deodorants, Fragrences, Jewelry and any Stock Up I have.
If you have product, don't buy too much. You never know what's going to sell. Keep it simple. Few people come for Skin Care but I do sell some at each table.
Stock up is great here. You will gain lots of Award Sales and you can sell product here at a discount.
WHAT'S NEW Keep an eye on products at a low cost in the What's New Catalogues.
DISPLAYS: I take a plexiglass display with FUNDRAISING and AVON IS HIRING. Make up your own Sign. Large and Simple to attract attention. Tent for outside. Table for display with Avon table cover and/or cover with Avon throw. These can be purchased at youravon.com, Town and Country. I am showing some OLD signs I made up in the beginning. They show that you may type up and print just about anything to attract new members to your team. Avon also has flyers you may download.
RAFFLE: I sometimes do raffles but not always. Your choice. You can use the names and emails you collect to call for sales or possible new reps.
Some other things to look for when considering being a vendor.
1) Know your audience! This is crucial. Be sure you are at a Show that wants your products. If you are selling makeup, a home show may not be your best bet. They are looking for plumbers and roofers.
2) Let your Dollars match the Crowd - You don't want to spend $40 or more to attend a Show with 100 vendors and 100 shoppers. Doesn't work! Be sure to ask how many shoppers are expected to walk past your booth. When I am a vendor, I want to make some contacts and some money.
3) Advertising - Ask how the Sponsor is advertising. If you are in a school which advertises to their student body and their families, good for you! Not all events are this large. If the crowd is not evident, ask how the word is getting out to buyers. Remember, ask any questions you want before parting with your hard earned money.
4) Bring items that move quickly. Again, know your audience. You know what sells at these events by asking others and by experience. You don't want to be lugging huge items around unless you have a moving crew. You also must fit in a small spot and you want to make the most of it.
5) Have a sign up sheet. Some prefer to put up a basket, play games, or give out gift certificates to get people to stop at your booth.
If you don't get names and emails or other contact information, you're wasting your time. ASK for their names and emails. Give out COUPONS for 10% off if they give you their information.
6) Take Orders - Offer your services to take orders to start your partnership. ALWAYS take payment for any products ordered.
7) Square - There are many credit card readers out there. I like the Square. Customers are likely to spend more with a credit card. Be safe! Use a cc reader to complete the transaction.
8) Share Information and Opportunity Regarding Your Company/Product- I love to share the opportunity and product information to all who stop at my booth. I love talking to people! If you don't like talking to people, hmmmm. Maybe you're in the wrong line of work:-)
9) Stand in front of your table - Don't hide in the background. I hand out Brochures in a plastic bag with my Business Cards and a sample. I pre-package these items and hand them out to everyone who will accept one when they pass.
10) Make your Table Attractive - Be prepared. Set up your table at home and make sure it works for you. If you have too many items, it may be distracting. I have many small items I like to fit neatly in display boxes and I place a price on the box when I can for each. I believe customers like to see the price displayed.
11) Bring a co-worker with you. Share the expense and the sales.
