For most people the words 'Party Plan' conjures up 'parties at home' but it doesn't have to mean just that. These days it can include anything from school fairs, village fetes, rugby club days, Christmas specials or even exhibitions. In fact, anywhere that brings you in contact with the consumer is a great opportunity for making sales.
We offer practical advice on how to interact with the consumer to get the best results from your selling opportunity, support with posters, stands and literature. Once you've completed the simple process of joining, you'll receive our booklet on helpful hints to be successful full of innovative ideas on how to generate good sales.
What is the market?
We all shower and wash our hair, if not daily then at least 2-3 times a week (at least we do if we don't want to be talked about).
Every day products are being highlighted regularly in the press, so the consumer is becoming much more aware of how damaging the ingredients they contain are to their bodies. Scrutiny of the ingredients labels reveals that most products contain a number of undesirable ingredients also contained in things like anti-freeze, oven cleaner and industrial cleaning products, these ingredients are then laced with synthetic perfumes to hide the smell, doesn't sound very nice does it!
The cosmetic industry needs to clean up its act but will they. In a market dominated by chemical products that's worth $6 trillion per annum and relatively unaffected by economic downturns…why should they.
But think about this; the fast food industry has had to clean up its act because people are voting with their feet now that they've realised that those deliciously packaged, mouth watering fast foods, presented to us via glossy advertisements are actually very unhealthy and damaging to our bodies.
So once the consumer has read about, if not all, then at least some of the issues relating to 'harsh chemical products' don't you think they'll be looking for an alternative? Surely the scientists haven't got it completely wrong and even if they have,why take the chance?
As pioneers of organically derived natural products manufactured in the UK, unlike a recent remark by a senior executive for one of the major supermarket stores on the current obsession with 'food miles' (i.e. where a product has come from), we happen to think that it's time we all took a closer look at what's available on our own doorstep. With all the economic troubles around more and more people are looking at buying closer to home.
Our prices are very affordable, and the best thing about our products is 'they really work'. We have 7 different ranges to choose from, each catering for a different customers needs. With over 200 products, helping people who at one end of the spectrum just want to slow down the ageing process (try reading the book 'Q10' about just how effective antioxidants are to the body, many scientists and doctors studies say they can avert most illnesses, from cancer to arthritis, by taking them into your body) to the other end of the spectrum for those who have searched endlessly for something that works, whether it's for allergy sufferers or people prone to eczema and psoriasis (effecting 1 in 3) to hair shampoos that won't strip the natural oils and colour out of the hair, we have it all. You're not restricted in anyway, it's your business…go for it.
So what can you do?
Just to give you an idea as to how it can work for you, let us tell you about a party we did ourselves last year. We don't normally do them ourselves but Steve (one of our directors) was asked as a favour.
He went along to a friend's home who had invited eight women. Now Steve's not a sales person, but he took along with him the £350 kit and displayed it on the kitchen units with the intention of giving a talk for about an hour and then if anyone wanted to buy things they could take a look in the kitchen and buy on the night.
When everyone had arrived and was seated in the living room he asked the host to go to her bathroom and bring down what she was using for her daily routine (i.e. hair shampoo, shower gels etc). He placed them on the coffee table and then started to talk through what type of ingredients the products contained and what the issues were. At this point the women started to say that they too used the products which were on the table. Steve was able with the support of the toxic toiletry pack, show them what the issues were surrounding the chemicals contained in the products.
After about 10 minutes of talking about the products they all said "well I'm not using that again" and off they all marched to the kitchen.
After two hours in total Steve had sold over £600 worth on behalf of the host (so approx £300 to the host) all the women have been good customers ever since and have asked twice for other parties themselves.
Shows, exhibitions or events, we can help you pick the right events and you can work on our own stands to get training. A lot of our Party People are doing shows regularly and at some of the major events around the country. But if you're just looking for a small, easy to mange part time income you don't need to look that far for business. Take a look at your local area, there are school events, small hall events, rugby club events, your local sports club and for most of these they only charge a small sum for a table top. You can even go into your local spa or beauty salon, just drop off a brochure and a trade price list and you can get 10% on everything they buy directly from us.
One of our agents recently approached a college and their beauty dept is now buying the products for over 300 students to use. So 10% every time they do, not bad for a couple of visits.
We did a small Rugby event in our local hall and although only 10 people turned up we sold £300 worth of products. Around us were the usual party plan regulars, we think you'll know who we mean. None of them sold anything and we think it's because we have a storey, we're not just another range of products, 'Chemical free, Healthier for you, half the price of the others' and not on every high street or with 10,000 agents also selling it.
So it's down to you, make contact and communicate the benefits.
The Organic skincare market is one of the fastest growing markets in the world. The difference with us is that not only do we offer organic skincare but we specialise in anti-ageing. We're not joking when we say "10 Years Younger".
These products are not available on the high street, only exclusively through party plan and beauty salons. Our products are rated in the "Top Ten" by the Guild of beauty therapists, because our products work and that means great repeat sales, we can even show you how to do simple mini organic facials.
So if you want the best selling ranges, then look no further. They're here! Telephone today or email for the party plan pack.
