Well, where do I start? October is a huge month and I will write more in depth about each category of new products in bite-sized pieces over the next few weeks; however, I wanted to give you a quick recap of what you have in store for you during SHOCKtober!
- OK, the biggest news of all is $99 recruiting! Without a doubt, this is the most exciting thing that October has to offer you. Yes, I know that $125 was going to be the lowest entry fee this year, but that was before the President came on the television a few weeks ago and told us that our economy was in the toilet. I am going to be very, very blunt…people need this career! Everyone, and I do mean, EVERYONE is looking for additional income. Think about it, would you rather take an extra job or two working retail for minimum wage or be able to help others relax and feel pampered and make 50% profit on everything you sell? I think that is an easy decision. THE MOST IMPORTANT PRODUCT THAT YOU CAN OFFER THIS MONTH IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN BEAUTICONTROL! With the holidays right around the corner, who isn’t looking for extra money?
- October kicks off the holiday selling season. At BeautiControl, we are going to help you market yourself throughout the holiday selling season. We want you to view BeautiControl as a gift giving opportunity and we want your clients to view YOU as an alternative to the malls for their holiday shopping. Customer Service is key…take care of your clients and they will take care of you! If you haven’t done so yet, log onto Beautinet and become familiar with the “BC SPA for the Holidays” section. This section of Beautinet was added to offer you the tips and tools for maximizing your business for the holidays. I think you will find this a very valuable resource for building clients and gaining prospects during this busy season. Plus, there is a really great blog in this section that allows you to post ideas/suggestions and learn from the success of others. This is a fun and interactive way to share ideas.
- One of the ways that we want to help you with your holiday selling is with the new gift baskets. We have done the work for you. We are doing this as a test, so quantities are limited. If it is a success, we will do more of it in the future. There are 3 sets available – Margarita, Apothecary Relax and Herbal Serenity…3 of our most popular bath and body sets. Who wouldn’t want one of these amazing gifts? All you have to do is place an order and we will ship them in their own individual carton, shrink wrapped with a beautiful bow. You don’t pay extra for the basket or the wrapping. Just place an order and let us do the rest. You will be proud to give these baskets to family and friends for the holidays. Just remember, if you want to take advantage of these gift sets, you need to order early. I promise, you will love these.
- Then there’s snowflake…what more can I say? This line has already proven to be a huge hit. The warm vanilla/nutmeg scent is so on trend for the holidays and the packaging is wonderful. Everyone on my list is getting a set of this for the holidays!
- If you love Urban Life, Sheer Rain or Water Code, we have introduced holiday ancillary items that will help you build the perfect gift sets for your clients. Contact every person who bought these in the past and let them know that there are some new line additions that they are sure to love.
- One of the things I am most excited about this October is the new E-Profile. This is a tool that we are rolling out that will help you more accurately customize a skin care regimen for your client. You simply send your clients (or yourself) to BeautiControl.com or log onto Beautinet, fill out the brief questionnaire and let us deliver a skin care regimen that is best suited for your age and current skin condition as well as a recommended list of specialty products that will help you address specific skin care concerns…i.e. extreme dryness, dark circles, hyperpigmentation, etc… The great thing about this tool is that it takes more things into consideration than merely the skin’s age. It will shift a regimen for you if you have particularly dry, oily, sensitive or acne prone skin to offer you a more exact match of products that will identify your unique skin care needs. For instance, if you are in your 30s and extremely dry, it will shift you up to the 40s regimen since your skin is actually “acting” older than your age. You may find that this modifies your existing regimen somewhat, but should be effective in better identifying the needs of your new clients without the guesswork and further need for additional customization. Imagine how easy it will be to get your new Consultants up and running with this amazing new tool. If it were me, I would send my hostess and all the guests for my next Spa to BeautiControl.com and have them take the quiz and print their very own E-profile to bring to your Spa. Better yet, it would be a great idea if your hostess could collect them and give them to you in advance so you will know exactly what skin care products each of your guests will be interested in. This tool will be up and running in the next week or so, and I hope you are as excited as I am. This is a tool that will continue to grow and develop over the next few months with more and more enhancements.
Ok, wow! That is a lot to digest. Most importantly, have fun!
Have a great weekend. If you have any questions, please be sure to email us at product@beauticontrol.com.
