While You Wait For Your Starter Kit (Home Party Style)

“Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, YOU’RE RIGHT!” 
~ Henry Ford

Here are a few helpful hints to help you get started while you are waiting for your kit to arrive!

FIRST THING…. Pick up the phone and call your friends and family members and ask them WHEN (not if) they can have a party for you!  Have at least 3 parties scheduled before your kit arrives!  This gives you a deadline and something to work towards. 

·      Decide how you want to display your jewelry and items and get it ready!

o   The bigger your inventory is, the bigger your parties will be!  Women LOVE choices! 
o   Plan ahead!  Don’t get caught without enough inventory for a party!  You just never know how big a party is going to be and if you have multiple parties in a week you need to be prepared to have inventory enough for each.  Don’t feel like you have to break the bank when you order, but make sure you have enough! 
o   As a general rule for us, we use 50% of our profit to buy more inventory and then deposit the rest. 

o   Please allow 2-3 for the processing of your orders.  It can take an additional 5-10 days shipping time once your order is processed.  Be sure to plan ahead!

·      Launch Party:  Host your own Open House - The first party you will want to do is YOUR OWN!   We recommend that you have at least two launch parties one on the weekend and one during the week. That will give people a better chance of being able to come and support you. By doing this, it ties YOU to the TuVous brand!! You can do one Home party and the other can be a Facebook Party but we do recommend you have at least one of the Launch parties be a Home one. I get several phones calls a week where people want to come by and pick up something last minute.  At times they will bring a friend or a relative with them as well!  You especially want people to know that they can call or stop by for last minute Christmas, Anniversaries or birthday gifts.

  • ·      Open a separate checking account for your TuVous business.  You will want to keep your TuVous finances separate from your personal finances.

·      Get a business card with all your contact information, including your consultant id #.  Always have them on hand to give to people as you will be telling everyone you see about your new business adventure and you want them to be able to get hold of you!  Give some to your friends and family as well so when they get complimented on the jewelry they bought from you, they can hand out your card!  I order mine through www.vistaprint.com.  They had LOTS of cute designs to choose from for very reasonable prices.

·      Once your TuVous arrives, invite your friends and family over to have first pick of your inventory!  They’ll be so excited to have first dibs and already you’re marketing your business!
