With Valentine's Day just around the corner, you can do a lot to enhance your business. Here are some fun ideas: Wrap up samples, a couple of chocolate candy kisses, and tie a bow on the bag with your business card. Pass them out at your pediatrician's office, hair salon, and all of the other places you do business with. Have the women you give them to fill out their names and numbers for your drawing.' Draw for a Satin Lips Set or other gifts at the end of the week. Challenge yourself to collect 20 names before you do your drawing! Contact husbands and offer to put together a Valentine gift for their sweetheart. Men shop by price and convenience, so ask what price range they have in mind--$50, $75, $100...--and arrange delivery. Drop off a Valentine gift baggy (samples, a coupon for a free lip pencil with the purchase of 2 lipsticks or a free nail color with the purchase of 2 lipsticks, and a few chocolate kisses) to selected customers; call them your customer appreciation gifts. Drop them off at offices whenever possible to get visibility with her co-workers. Give them goody bags, too. Wrap up gift ideas and carry them in a big gold basket everywhere you go You'll be amazed how women buy for their daughters, mothers, or even themselves!

SWEETHEART ESSENTIALS
As with Holiday Sales...if you don't work it, you won't benefit from it and when the sales counts start to roll in with Consultant's selling hundreds of dollars---you'll wish you had made an effort. Walk by the cosmetic counter sometime.... women are buying!!! Walk by the cosmetic section of Wal-Mart, they are buying and looking rather confused!! Check out all the men going into Bath and Body--they would rather buy from their phone then go to a Mall!!

Hi Ladies!
For those of you who like to take a fun new slant on holiday sales, this Valentine merchandising idea is just your ticket!! You have time to order travel-roll-up bags and multiples of the items that go in it, make up a demo and start contacting those guys (and take it to work, have your husband take it to work......!! And an extra suggestion to pass on to the guys who REALLY want to score points with their sweetheart -- they might reserve a special night or weekend at a ritzy local hotel or a B&B close to home and slip the reservation ticket into that top pocket along with the silk roses! You'll have it all wrapped up!  Need a Valentine Day idea? This is it, open the attachment and print out the flyer for the Sweetheart Essentials Travel Roll-Up!

Thanks to all the directors that passed this along. What a romantic Valentine's Idea for husband or wife to give to each other!! Blessings,Terrie
Script to call or say when you drop by:
Are you tired of hearing the words, "We just never do anything on Valentine's Day anymore" or "That's not very romantic."
Instead, wouldn't you like to hear, "Honey, I love you! You're the best!" Here's an idea that will spark flames for you and your wife on Valentine's Day!
I will put together a VALENTINE ROMANCE BASKET your wife will thank you for many years to come!!! In the basket there will be chocolates, sparkling apple cider, champagne glasses, a votive candle & holder, and, of course, Mary Kay products. I will deliver the basket to you. Imagine all the work of romancing her, all done for you. You will receive all of the above in a beautiful basket, delivered to you, for the cost of $55 (or $60-85!).
All you have to do is call me to place your order.
Take care of that special someone in a special way this Valentine's Day!!!
Thank you for your business,
_______________________________________________________
Gift tag will read:
I loved you when I met you, today I love you more.
You've made my life more wonderful than it's ever been before.
So, pop the cork, and fill the tub. Relax, with the candle lit.
Move over, make some room for me. I'll scrub your back a bit.
I love you,

HERE IS WHAT GOES IN THE BASKET:
Valentine Romance Basket
* Medium-sized basket
* Sparkling cider
* Two fluted acrylic champagne glasses
* One package of hugs and kisses
* Cleansing Gel
* Buffing cream
* Moisturizing lotion
* 2 netted body sponges
* a small heart shaped box of Valentine candies
* a candle
Prices may vary, depending on where they are purchased.
Could add Cologne, a SHAVE Cream, a Hand Cream, etc., if you want the price higher!
Fill the bottom of the basket with tissue paper.
Add mylar shred. Arrange above items in the basket. Use tulle netting - wrap it around the basket & tie at the top with a festive bow.
* Include the gift tag (Heart shaped is good).
* Make sure your business card is in the basket with your hand written offer of a free Skin Care & Color makeover.
* Men will buy this basket so easy, but women will buy it, too. (Just change the words in the script to "your husband".
* Make up one basket to show and take orders. Basket sells for $55, depending on the costs you incur.
A consultant in another unit sold 21 of these at $55...That is $1155.00!!!!!
* Act fast to take your orders and collect the money up front for each basket. You'll need time to get your order back from Mary Kay and time to prepare and deliver each basket.
* Be sure to get the name, address and phone # for each person who will be receiving each basket so you can call to follow-up and book them for appointments and get re-orders on your products.
I called 2 husbands of my customers yesterday - used the above script (without even going to the 'romance the basket' part) and sold 2 in less than 15 minutes!! Baskets and valentine ribbon are already "on sale" at the craft store
THANKS, Judi!
