Presentation Planning
Many companies are changing seasons now, which of course means new products. Careful planning of your home party presentation will increase your show average and also create more desire for future shows. How do you decide what to take to your home party? Here is a simple party plan presentation system to make better choices on what to direct sales show.
Consider this list of criteria when planning your show:
- Price: Always show and tell higher-priced items. Remember that the amount of time you spend on a product should be in direct relationship to the price. This relates to the overall pricing structure as well as the pricing as it relates to all within a group. For example, a Mary Kay consultant would want to focus on the $104 anti-aging product as opposed to the $22 moisturizer.
- Weight, durability and size: Is it easy to transport with little or no risk of breaking? The largest basket in the Longaberger line might not be a good choice to take to your show, as the damaged product will not look good on display.
- Ease of Sale or Customer appeal
Is it easy to sell? If so bring it. If it is something that will appeal to only a small number of people then leave it home. I call these niche items. If someone wants a niche item, then they will buy it. Let’s say a Pampered Chef cookie press… only someone who makes cookies will want one. A pot though is something that everyone needs. After you decide good priced items look at this category. - Do you need it for the presentation: A makeup demonstration without foundation will not work!
- Uniqueness: I would call this a novelty item. It is something that nobody will buy because they cannot imagine it, yet when they see it they will because it is so unique. Frequently these are items that are new trends and after a few months they become mainstream and the item will sell to those who want it because they are familiar with it, but at first no one ever saw one before.
- Collections or groupings should always get first billing as these sell each other. Once someone has a couple of the Longaberger dishes they want them all so show and tell about collections to get your clients hooked.
- Seasonal Items or ability to establish urgency (this may even include monthly specials) And don’t forget that your opinion counts too. Never take or show a product that you do not like as your opinion will show.
