CHANGE THESE IDEAS TO FIT THE CURRENT ANNIVERSARY YEAR and CURRENT OFFERS !!!!!!!!!!!

43 Leads in 21/2 hours!!!!!!!!
Hi Everyone!!! I'm exhilarated! This idea came to me from the internet about 6 months ago & I tried it today with my own twist on things! I LOVED IT!!! 43 NEW NAMES OF PEOPLE I PERSONALLY SPOKE TO IN JUST 2 1/2 HOURS!
It's called 'Chocolates & Flowers' & it's super simple! It's a take-off on the honoring professional women, but it has more flexibility. I got 4 dozen carnations & 3 bags of Dove Promises chocolates. Put the flowers in a large basket & the chocolates in a smaller basket along with drawing slips & 2 pens. Then, I was ready! I went to the car dealership (dropping my car for repairs), the Mercy business office, Mercy hospital, Assisted Living, a Bank, Grocery store, etc.
EVERY person I met, I said, "I'm giving away chocolates & flowers! Would you like some?" EVERYONE said yes! What is the special occasion? I responded with this, "We are celebrating Mary Kay's 40th anniversary & I'm handing out flowers & chocolates so you can celebrate with us! What color would you like? _______ What chocolate would you like? _________ We are also having a giveaway of a $40 Gift Basket! Would you like to enter to win?" Hand them a drawing slip & a pen & wait. Thank them for their time & go on to the next person. It's so incredibly simple because you can talk to EVERYONE! I even talked to men & gave them a flower to take to their special someone, a chocolate for him, & then asked if they would like to enter her name in the drawing. I found the carnations at a grocery store florist for 8.50 per dozen. The total cost was about $80.00 including the baskets. I handed out 84 carnations & ended up with 43 leads of women that indicated they do not have a MK consultant. I discarded the names of the entries that do have a consultant.
I am using this booking dialogue to call the winner For the winner: "Hi Mary, this is Ann Jones. Do you have a quick minute?" _____ "Great! Do you remember the drawing you entered for the $40 gift basket for MK? _______ You are the grand prize winner! Isn't that exciting? We just need to schedule a pampering session for you so you can play & select your prizes! The best part about this is that you get to custom design your prize! When is better for you _____ or _________? (Set the time & then add): Mary, remember when I shared with you that we are doing this to celebrate MK's 40th anniversary? _____ The company has challenged me to do makeovers on 30 women this month to celebrate this milestone! Is there any reason you wouldn't want to share your pamper session with a few friends? It's more fun & it would really help me out. Can you think of a few friends that may want to join you? _______ Great! (The Grand Prize is ONLY awarded at a free makeover.)
When calling the other names, say: ". ____ this ______ is with Mary Kay Cosmetics. I met you when I was handing out chocolates & flowers Wednesday. Do you remember me? ______ Great! Do you have a minute? _______Great! I did the drawing & you didn't win the grand prize, but you did win one of my runner up drawings! You've won your choice of a free makeover or a satin hands & body aromatherapy session & $10.00 in Free MK! Which one would you like? ___________ Which is better for you, daytime or evening? (Set the time & then add): Mary, remember when I shared with you that we are doing this to celebrate MK's 40th anniversary? _____ The company has challenged me to do makeovers on 30 women this month to celebrate this milestone! Is there any reason you wouldn't want to share your pamper session with a few friends? It's more fun & it would really help me out. Can you think of a few friends that may want to join you? _______ Great! (The $10 Free MK is ONLY awarded at a free makeover.) (If she responds that everyone won a free facial.. say, "Isn't that great? Mary Kay wants everyone to be a winner!") THIS WAS FUN, SIMPLE & EXCITING! Have a blast with this!

37th Anniversary Bookings
This idea was given to us by our Director at meeting last week and I have already had wonderful results. I believe the idea came from a Tarbet Area Director. Offer your hostess the opportunity to receive any one item from the Mary Kay line for 37 cents. There are a few requirements. She has a Beauty Bash, TimeWise Skin Care Class, Holiday Coffee, or one of our many class ideas.
1. On the day scheduled.
2. 4 or more non MK users, 18 or older.
3. $200 in sales.
4. At least 1 booking from her appt. (can be booked prior to this night).
Of course there is no other hostess credit. Also give her a time period in which this must be booked. Ours went from the 13th to 10/13. Then next month you can offer it again to the hostess booked from these classes, or as a Fall Color Tour and the list can go on and on...
Happy MK weeks ahead!!

This is the same idea but Gwen gives you a script to use!....

Booking Idea for MK's Anniversary
This is from Top Director Gwen Ristow, she is in the Underwood area, enjoy! MK's anniversary was September 13th, 1963 -- this would be great to do in October too!! P.

Happy 37th Mary Kay Anniversary Hot Booking Tip Hey Girlfriends! I got this from one of my consultants. Have a MILLLION$$$KIND OF DAY!!! Love Gwen
Want more Classes & Beauty Bashes on YOUR books? Here's a very cool idea that can put Ca$h in YOUR Mary Kay account NOW! Call your favorite gals & tell them, "If you could have any one item in the line for JUST 37 cents, what would it be?" (Wait for her answer) Well, guess what? In honor of Mary Kay's 37th Anniversary this month, you may have ANY one product in the entire line for JUST 37 cents! When you do the following:
* Hold a Skin Care Class, Beauty Bash, Fall Makeover or Workshop,etc. during our anniversary month of Sept
* Have at least 4 adult girlfriends attend who do not currently have a Mary Kay Consultant
* Have a minimum of $200 in sales
* Have at least one future appointment scheduled from your Workshop, Class, or Beauty Bash!
(Of course, you do NOT give additional hostess credit to her.)

ANNIVERSARY- Mary Kay Pajama Party!!!
Wow! I love Shawtime brilliance! From the DAWN DAVIS unit CHRISTINE AUTRY has created a wonderful way to celebrate our company's ANNIVERSARY on the 13th and utilize technology to the fullest! An ON LINE Pajama party with your customers or potential customers, and just in time to complete your STAR!!! Get this in motion today!!! Love, Pam
From: tom autry
Hi Pam, here is an example of an on-line party. I thought you could spread the word and have your national area all hold a pajama party on the same day Sept.13 since it is the companies anniversary. It would make it bigger and more fun when you know others are on-line at the same time!! Christine Autry
Hi, my name is Christine Autry. I am an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay Cosmetics from Duluth, Georgia. The reason I am sending this e-mail is to let you know I am soooo excited to be a part of this company!! If I sent this e-mail to you directly it means you were chosen to be a hostess for the biggest pajama party in history!! In honor of our companies founder, Mary Kay Ash, our unit is hosting a pajama party on Thursday September 13 from 7pm-1am. (the date is significant because Mary Kay started this company Sept.13, 1963 and has been the no. 1 company in skin care and color cosmetics in the U.S. for 7 years running!! And as other companies in the U.S. are downsizing Mary Kay is on the upswing with over 700,000 beauty consultants in over 36 countries!!) So, here are the guidelines:

1) Being a hostess means you tell your co-workers and e-mail your friends and relatives all over the U.S. and tell them to log on for the biggest pajama party in the country at www.marykay.com/lgleason on Thurs. Sept. 13 between 7p-1am.

2) Tell them they can participate by either shopping on-line and/or registering on-line for a free car!!(you do not have to be a customer of mine to register for the car)

3) Any purchase of $30 or more will get a free gift and 13% will be donated to the Mary Kay Ash foundation in their honor for research of women's cancers and violence against women.

4) They should e-mail me with the name of their hostess so that you can get credit (lgleason@marykay.com)

5) Any hostess who has $100 in sales from their friends/family gets a shopping spree of 75$ for only $30 (plus tax). You do not have to keep track of this, I will do so when they e-mail me and tell me who their hostess is. And if I have 10 or more hostesses I will have a drawing for someone to get their 75$ shopping spree for free!!!! My e-mail address is lgleason@marykay.com

***As a special bonus, I offer free gift wrapping services for any order by request, and free shipping with purchases of $30 or more!!*** Don't forget the holidays are just around the corner!! So please join me on-line for the LARGEST PAJAMA PARTY !!!!!

Thanking you in advance!!!! Christine
