Friend Frenzy

This is a GREAT ideas on how to get more people to your parties which will result in more sales, more money made, more parties booked and more consultants to join your team.

"Friend Frenzy."

On the invitation, write there will be a drawing for a FREE piece of jewelry or fashion item to be chosen at the end of party.   You can put your name in the drawing once for every friend you bring.  3 friends = 3 entries. Let your hostess know that you will be doing this so they can tell their friends when they are delivering the invitations.   

The three things hostesses should say when delivering invites are:
1.  Everything is $35 and under.
2.  Everything is so cute!!!!
3.  Bring friends who enjoy a great deal and be entered to win free jewelry and fashion items.

It is rare that someone will come to a party without buying at least one piece of jewelry or item.  This will definitely increase your sales and more.  Also, these are people that you probably wouldn't have access to invite!  Awesome idea!!!

Wholesale Distributors (Retail Sites)

As you know, retail stores can carry TuVous Fashion... AND why wouldn't they want to? 

  Having this jewelry and fashion could: 

1. Increase sales throughout the store 
2.  Bring in new customers
3.  Make money off TuVous sales
4.  Have the option of doing parties and making a downline
5.  Increase word-of-mouth advertising with customers

What would make a good retail site for TuVous?

1.  Salons
2.  Boutiques
3.  Craft stores
4.  Gift shops
5.  Anywhere women frequent it
6.  Beauty supply store
7.  Clothing stores
8.  Bookstores
9.  Athletic/workout gyms
10. ANYWHERE  


When approaching a retail center, there are a few ways to do it.

1. Call and make an appointment with the buyer, manager or owner.
2.  Wear your accessories in and strike up a conversation with one of the above people. If you try either of these ideas, have a basket of jewelry with you to show them.
3.  When you are asking where women work at parties and you find out one of your customer has one of the above positions, talk about them carrying TuVous in their store.

When you are talking with the person in charge, use the term "WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTOR."   Ask them if they would like to become a distributor - not an "independent consultant."   It just sounds better for a business owner to be a wholesale distributor. They can sell it for $5, $10, $15 OR MORE.  Explain that they will probably sell more volume if they sell it a lower price, but will make more profit per item if they sell higher.  They can choose at what price to sell it.  After they decide they want to do it or as you are talking about the benefits of carrying TuVous in their store, you can mention home parties, basket parties, and the other stuff we do as consultants.

If by some chance, they do not want to become a consultant and pick their own jewelry and order and stock by themselves, you can ask if they would allow you to put it in their store.  Most likely they will want a percentage of sales. The best way (in my opinion) is to have them join themselves and take care of it by themselves. You will still get commission from them without the headache of checking up on it often.

Leave a comment if you have other ideas or advice on retail outlets and distributors.

Why are we charged tax if we are buying product wholesale?

"As a rule of party plan companies, sales tax is precollected on the retail price. It is based on the tax rate of the shipping zip code. When you sell the item you charge tax and keep it as a reimbursement to yourself because the tax was precollected and submitted to the state by TuVous corporate when the product was originally purchased." - Corporate Facebook Page

I thought this was a very brief, but complete description of the taxes associated with checkout.  Even though the jewelry only costs us $2.50 etc. at check-out, each item is taxed on $5, $10, $15 or $25 because that is what we are supposed to sell it for!  SO you do not need to worry about sending in sales tax money to the government because TuVous takes care of that, but you do need to charge it  or the taxes will be coming out of your commission.

Book More TuVous Parties Using This Method

Last week, I set up shop at a consignment sale and a 4 hour, small town fair. From those events, I booked 8 parties there and have 4 people I am checking back with. How did I do it? I printed out a paper on my computer that said, 

"Book a party Today 

and 

get one FREE $5 item today." 

People love the word FREE! They were very excited to get that free item! Take a calendar with you of dates you can and can't host a party. Pull it out, write the person's name down, get their info and let them take one item so they can start advertising! It works!!!!

While they may back out of a party, that is a risk I am willing to take. At a loss of about $2.50, I figure its a greater opportunity to make $100 or more is worth it.

Spinning Wheel for Booking More TuVous Parties

You may want to consider making one of these for your TuVous parties and events to help you book more TuVous parties. I know events that get alot of people's attention!!!  When they come over and ask what you can win, you can talk to them about hosting an Open House or Boutique.  (Sometimes, a change in wording is all you need to make they want to host a party).  After they set a date on your calendar, they can spin the wheel and get the prize. 

What might you write on your wheel?  How about 1 FREE  TuVous item, half price items, 5% more free TuVous at a party, a secret grab bag (that has item you want to move) and more.  You can give it to them right then or you can tell them that they will get it at their party. Your choice.   

Here is a tutorial on how to make a spinning wheel.  It doesn't look too hard.  Find it
