Change it Up Challenge

Ok. So I mentioned to you guys after Rally that I want to challenge myself (and you were invited!) to wear DIFFERENT jewelry every day and post it to the social media! Well, I've been posting when I can... There have been a couple days where I haven't even left the house... LoL. BUT! So far, I LOVE IT! Here's why:

1. It's fun. It's getting me more excited about my jewelry because I have an excuse to talk about it and show it off even more than I usually do.
2. It's holding me accountable! Instead of wearing the same jewelry every day, I've TRIED to wear different pieces and switch it up!
3. It's FREE, no-pressure advertisement! I get to show off my cutie jewelry everyday, and all of my Facebook/Instagram/Twitter friends can see and enjoy. So far I've had several "Likes," some additional compliments at school, AND one of Brian's aunts plans to buy the bracelet I was wearing today! She wants the bracelet - which gave me an excuse to send her the whole catalog, the Style Guide, an Opportunity Brochure, and a personalize note - also catching up on family stuff.

I highly recommend giving it a try. You've got nothing to lose! :)

I've been using the app PhotoGrid to put all of my photos for one day together, then using Instagram to post to Facebook and Twitter.

Day 1: I pulled out this outfit the night before (and was really proud of myself for being so prepared) but of course didn't get up early enough to actually primp (hence the up-do). BUT I still felt cute. :)

Day 2: My second attempt at "Arm Party." I'm pretty sure this was in the video too. 

Day 2: As soon as I was done getting ready, my new jewelry arrived and I had to change it out. But I already have a girl who is planning to get this necklace at her upcoming show. #freeadvertisement

Day 3: I had to wear my coach polo to school, so I didn't wear a necklace, although I know I could have, however: 1. I was running late, and 2. I feel a little "overdone" when I'm trying to bling up at a basketball game. I will have you know, however, that I had a girl add that ring to her wish list this day.

Day 4: Today I sold this bracelet! Gotta love Facebook! :)

2012 Fall/Winter Line!

Hey girls! So at rally, they have a boutique set up so that you can get ideas for different ways to wear the new line. It might help as you choose which pieces to order. The lighting isn't great in there, but I've put the pieces and names here so that you can check them out yourself and get ideas for the new line.

Some important reminders about our catalog:
- Everything is actual size.
- Our "Crystals" are Swarovski
- Fall/Winter detailed descriptions to use for your verbiage can be found on the website. Go to Jeweler Resources > Business Forms > Business Tools
- The pieces on the back of the catalog are intended to depict how much the average hostess receives in free jewelry. The items here add up to $283.

Organize.Yourself!

I'm looking forward to hearing notes on ALL of your trainings this month! I attended a new training in Morristown and the ladies were SUPER sweet! I won TWO drawing prizes! The training was on organization. Here are some quick notes:

Organizing Yourself
- Keep your receipts filed by the different sections on the tax sheet I gave you! If you don't have this sheet anymore, it's on the Terrell website

- Find a way that works for you to file your past shows. A couple of the ladies have a file for each hostess. Others file their receipt by CUSTOMER! I fold my hostess order form, stick all of the customer orders and guest surveys, and put it in a box. Maybe I'll get more technical on down the road.

- Once your investment is paid back, buy Hood & House! It's a GREAT program and will benefit your business greatly!

- Set MONTHLY goals so you have something attainable in a short time. My goals for March & April (combined) are to share with 20 people and have 6 home shows.

- In your email, keep a "group" or email tree of just hostesses and another one of just prospects. That way you can quickly send out promotions, coupons, special deals, new lines, etc.

- Keep a box in your car with hostess packets, envelopes for return/exchanges (WITH labels), and supplies for sharing the business. That way you're ALWAYS PREPARED!

- Keep a log by month with people to call to book, prospects, and 60 day mark. So for example, if a hostess says to call her in 2 months, you'd write her in under May. And any hostess you have this month, you would write in under June so you can call everyone who placed an order before their 60 guarantee mark "just to check on them". This is just so they know you're there and remember you as their jewelry lady!

Easter Booking Idea
Also a cute idea for March & April! For your pass or play (deal or no deal, shop or drop) use an Easter basket with plastic eggs! Make at as cutie as you please. :)

Some cute combinations I saw:
- mocha layered with promenade
- savvy layered with runway
