master Plan for a

Successful oPen houSe april 15, 16 and 17, 2016

hosting an open house has proven to be one of the most enjoyable weekends of the year!

it’s an opportunity to give back the warmth your hostesses and customers have shared with you. it’s a wonderful way to gain new customers and jewellery Stylists as your guests bring along their friends, knowing they will enjoy your open house as much as they do.

Here is a master Plan to aCHieve suCCess: ❏ Make a list of everyone you wish to invite – past hostesses

and customers, past open house guests, relatives, friends, neighbours, co-workers, your husband’s co-workers or their wives, church members, club and organization members and your children’s friends and their mothers.

❏ hand-write addresses on your invitations and mail them out ten days prior to the event.

❏ carry extra invitations in your handbag or cash and carry Bag to hand out in person.

❏ Send the online e-invitation and reminder from My customer connection.

❏ create a Facebook event and invite all your Facebook friends. use the event photo found under the side ad on your jewellery Stylist site.

14

❏ check your inventory. an impressive selection is the key for high sales.

❏ make follow-up phone calls the day or two before your open house. these calls are essential for a good turn-out.

❏ excite them about our Fac Style destination Giveaway!

❏ no pets please; guests may have allergies.

❏ display your door prizes where they will be noticed. use a pretty container for the ballots.

❏ have a draw box for guests who book a show and another for those who make a purchase.

❏ have hostess Gifts on display along with hostess information packages.

❏ Display your Bonus Offer gifts along with your tent sign.

❏ display your Fac Style destination tent sign and place some of the giveaway hand-out cards around the room.

❏ Keep refreshments simple and place them where the guests can help themselves.

❏ Offer guests refreshments. Take a bit of time to chat with them. Invite them to your jewellery display.

❏ have some outside help to write up sales or enter them into your mobile receipt book. this gives you time to pay special attention to guest trying on jewellery.

❏ Your helper can also tidy up the refreshment table and make more coffee and tea between guests. Tidy up your display and replace sold items during this time. >>

15

❏ have your datebook close by for guests who are interested in the business. tell them that they will get 5, 10 or 15 ballots for our Fac Style destination giveaway when they sign up!

❏ ask everyone to book a party. Show them your hostess gifts and tell them how they can earn free jewellery. also, point out that they earn additional ballots for our giveaway contest by being a hostess.

❏ during any quiet time, use your guest list to phone people who haven’t come yet. they may have forgotten!

❏ Give each guest a ‘thank you for coming gift’.

www.fifthavenuecollection.com

❏ Make your draws when your open house is over. the winners will be glad to hear from you! if they haven’t already booked a show now would be a good time to ask.

❏ Keep your guest list with a record of attendance to use for your next open house.

receive this lovely “Sea Queen” bracelet when you host your open house on at least two of the above days. enter your open house into My customer connection or return your completed guest list (found under downloads) to your Home Office by May 1, 2016.

Hi Betty, Hope you and Ernie are well; I miss you! I wanted to let you know about a special hostess named Melinda. I met her and her mother Marie at a show in Melbourne. They bought a lot of jewellery that night, including “Santorini”. Marie asked how far I would travel to do a show. I smiled and asked, “How far are you?” She told me about three hours, but that it would be Melinda’s show. She saidthat Melinda is disabled but lives in her own house, and explained how they have helped her be independent. She even offered me a room to stay overnight. I told her I would do the show the following week. Kamaran offered to drive me and we would drive back that night. The day came and it was 40 degrees in Melbourne and hotter in the country areas. Two hours into our drive we noticed smoke in the distance. It was a bush fire and emergency services were stopping cars. They had closed the freeway and we were told to go through another town that would be safe. We ended up lost, but found our way an hour later; it took us four hours. We arrived and I started the show. When I presented Melinda with her hostess gift I asked her to show her guests what she had received. She said, “No.” There were a few giggles in the room and I asked her again. She still said, “No.” Then I asked if I could open the box to show them and she agreed!

Betty, there was a group of ladies in attendance that were in their 80s. They loved our jewellery and all wished they could afford more. We booked a show at their women’s club for November Christmas shopping. Then I met some beautiful younger ladies who loved

“Santorini”

our jewellery and purchased many crystal bangles and luxe rings. Another group of young mothers loved the little girls’ jewellery and booked a show for November at the Pony Club. Everyone loves our jewellery!

The show was $1,740.00 and Melinda loved choosing jewellery with her hostess credits. I was very tired when I got home, but Kamaran reminded me, “Some people work all week to make $800. Just think… you worked for half a day!” And he was right! I made a young woman very happy and met some wonderful ladies that had never heard of or seen Fifth Avenue Collection before - and they can’t wait until they see it again in November!

Love,Zahia Araji P.S. Here’s a photo of Melinda with her sunglasses on to show her excitement about our FAC Style Destination Giveaway and her style consultant.
