There is something about the holiday season that brings out the shopper in all of us. We have the house to decorate, gifts to buy our loved ones, and friends to catch up with. All in all, the holidays are a pretty magical time.
Or are they? In reality it’s more likely that we’ve got to clean up the house in time for visitors, tackle the crowds at the mall, and make sure that everyone is entertained. Phew! No wonder it can be stressful.
So if you are an Avon Representative (and why else would you be reading this article!), this Christmas it’s your job to make things less stressful for your customers and your reward will be lovely big orders and plenty of profits for you.
Start by sending your customers a Christmas or Holiday card to thank them for being such lovely customers. The earlier that you can get this card out the better - late October/early November is ideal. This makes them feel special that you are thinking of them during this busy time.
When you next visit your customers, add some little extra’s to help them organize their lives such as a gift idea’s list. A holiday calendar planner is also a great addition to help your customers, especially if you add a magnet to the back so that they can place it on the fridge.
Always offer free gift wrapping. You can get some nice cellophane or paper at cheap dollar stores and also some lovely ribbons very inexpensively as well.
For those customers that can’t decide, why not offer to make a gift basket for them. They can choose the amount they’d like to spend and a theme, such as bath & body, or feet treats, and you can fill the basket with lovely goodies that you think would love.
Gift baskets are also a great idea for your male customers. They usually don’t know what to buy the ladies in their lives and offering a gift basket all wrapped and decorated for them makes things easy for them, and their partner will love it!
Want to reward your best customers? Give them a little gift to say thank-you. Choose something that costs you little but has a high perceived value and your customers will be thrilled!
Little touches like these can help build your business and gain lots of repeat customers because you are going that extra mile for them.
