Buffet Marketing for Dinner and a Make-over(By Amber Jackson)
 

Setting the Table with Mary Kay!

Dinner Prayer:           Represents the foundation upon which Mary Kay built her company:  Faith 1st - family 2nd career 3rd, and the principle of working by the Golden Rule, to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Placemat:                    Represents the foundation of the company, started in 1963.  Mary Kay

is currently the #1 best brand of skin care and color cosmetics! 

We have been listed as one of the top companies for women to work for, and in a recent Baylor University study, Mary Kay was voted as the #1 most influential female leader (second to Oprah Winfrey) of the 20th century!

Appetizers                  Represents our starter kithow we whet our appetite!  Our starter kit, or showcase includes everything we would need to begin our business, including our mirrors, trays, applicators and samples for our first 30 faces, plus an additional $300+ in free full-size retail product that is intended for our use as demos.  It includes sales brochures and even a tote that advertises for us.  The entire set used to start our own business comes to us at a cost of just $100 + tax and shipping.  Additionally, as a new consultant we can opt to purchase a website for our business at a mere $25 for the entire year!  It is completely kept up by the company but tailored with our name for 24/7 ordering.

 

Charger Plate:            The charger plate.represents the unlimited opportunity with Mary Kay, and money the #1 reason people join. More women make over 100 and $200,000 in Mary Kay/year than in any other company in the world.  In terms of sales appointments, we average $50 an hour.  Each independent consultant orders their products directly from the company at wholesale, which we sell for retail at double our investment.  It is a residual income because people wash their skin care products down the drain every night and need to reorder more! 

Dinner Napkin           This represents self-confidence and support you feel through your director, the company, and your sister consultants.  If you spill (make a mistake)its okay!  We earn as we learn, and what better way to gain personal growth than through the support of encouraging friends.  You cant buy into the position we wantWe all start out as consultants, like a tiny little rosebud that blossoms to a beautiful rose through encouragement and training.  


Soup/Salad                  Represents, soup to nuts, how we make our money.  We make our money through a number of different ways including:

                                    *On the face, through Skin Care Classes and makeovers

                                    *Online, through website orders

                                    *On paper, through our sharp brochures and mail campaigns

                                    *On the go

                                    *On with the show:  fun appointments including theme parties such as manicures, pedicure/spa parties, microdermabrasion parties, sampling safaris

                                    *Teambuilding when we share this opportunity with other women, we are growing the company and are therefore rewarded in a bonus straight from the company based on our teams production

                                    *Reorders (kind of like breadsticks!!  The easiest thing to grab from our business!)  We sell a smart product. People wash it down the train every night and need more! 

Dinner Entre            The real meat of our business is something you receive when you get into Mary Kay, but also when Mary Kay gets into you!  This is the reward of a great deal of fun and long-lasting friendships.  There is an immediate connection through the sisterhood of Mary Kay an instant camaraderie nationwide.

Dessert                       Ahhhhwhy thats the recognition and prizes all the trimmings!  From career apparel to office furniture, trinkets and treasures and quality jewelry prizes, Mary Kay has it all!  Mary Kay strives to build up women through praise and recognition at our local sales meetings and on a national level.  Every effort is applauded.  We also have the opportunity to earn free cars!  Mary Kay pays the tax, the title, the lease, and a portion of your insurance on your level of car, which includes a red Pontiac Vibe, a silver Grand Prix, or the coveted pink Cadillac.  If you already have a car you love (and love paying for), you may take the cash equivalent of the leasewhich for the Cadillac, is $900/month.

Travel mug                 A travel mug complements the buffet by representing flexibility.  We can take our business with us every day, and as we travel!  We work our business when we want, where we want, and with whomand there are no territories.  We can build our business anywhere in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands.  This is great for busy people on the go, and we often Mary Kay is kind of like swiss cheese.  You simply fit it into the holes of your day!

 

Utensils                       This is an All you can eat buffet!  And, we can take it at our own pace.  There are no quotas to meet, only the encouragement to do our best and strive for personal goals.

Beverages                  The beverage glass represents the perk of B.Y.O.B.being your own boss.  We are in business for ourselves, but not by ourselves.  We receive training and support from the company and our sales director, plus the expertise, technology, and support of our research and product development to keep us on trend and with the BEST products around. 

Mary Kay designed this company with the intent to give women a tremendous opportunity.  While this is the land of opportunity, we truly believe Mary Kay is the opportunity of the land.  Some people are here today simply because they were invited and it sounded fun with the theme Team up for Women, and the prospect of hearing more about our charitable foundation.  You may have come to be pampered, and after all- this is a brunch to show our customers how we appreciate them.  Others specifically came to hear more about the company.  You may be interested in becoming a consultant!  If so, wed like to present an incentive for joining us today by signing your agreement to receive your very own showcase at $100 + tax and shipping.  If you choose to join the company today and begin as a qualified consultant, not only will you receive the showcase, but also a customized Color 101 set and your first piece of jewelry so youll always remember this day!
