The holiday season is just around the corner! I know you are probably not ready for it! However, knowing that it is three months away can make or break you when the season comes and you are stressed because you were not ready for it.
What are you going to do to prepare yourself for a profitable end of year?
Since marketing your business takes time to do, now is the time to get your campaigns together. Work on them now and when the time comes you will be a head above your competition!
For my direct selling friends this means how many shows are you booking now to put on your calendar for the holiday season? How can you keep in touch with the people you are booking now? Maybe send a post card each month or twice a month to keep their show fresh in their mind. Let them know how excited you are that they are hosting a show before the holiday rush. If you have 20 or more shows on your calendar before you even get into the season you will have more time with your family, friends and the chance to do the things you want with out the stress.
If you are carrying extra inventory offer an incentive to the people who keep their shows book on the regular scheduled date. Make this worth their while. Throw in an extra bonus for those who have 15 or more in attendance. Don’t have extra inventory on hand? Plan ahead by getting a couple orders in between now and then from the specials your company is offering.
Think about some coupons that you can have ready for your customers. What incentives do you want to offer that will get people interested in your business? Products? Services?
Now is the time to recruit team members to your business. Get them in and going strong to create extra holiday cash. Remember that asking people to join you in your business is a privilege and an opportunity. Ask everyone you know and everyone you meet. In this economy to leave anyone out would be selfish.
Prepare your self now for the upcoming holiday season and you will be better off for it. Nothing better than going through the season with little to no stress because you are prepared and ready to take it on!

Great idea (although it's a little scary talking about the holidays). For direct sellers, September through November are the peak selling season. The longer sellers wait to plan, the less they can accomplish.
