The Body Shop At Home (Hints and tips)

Depending on if you want the hassle you could offer to deliver the goods locally yourself. Charge the customers the £5 delivery then have it all delivered to you and drive round doing the deliveries yourself? It depends what type of organisation is holding the fundraiser, if they have regular meetings then they won't need you to deliver as they can distribute at their next meeting.

Those querying the fundraisers,

if you have a host for the fundraiser you could send the order straight to them, like you would with a normal party. Or you can send it to yourself and take all your stuff out and deliver all the other orders to the host for them to distribute.
It depends how big your fundriaser is depends how you want to split it.
If you do a huge fundraiser and by huge i mean say £2000 sales you could split it into 2 parties so you get 2 lots of free and half price shopping.
just an idea for you ladies to think about.

Hope this helped, I was at my first managers meeting today which was quite exciting, we had elaine the RM for north east west in england and Bev ashton as well. So was nice to meet these ladies. And of course we had nadine there too for those of you who saw nadine at conference she is fantastic and can really inspire you.

Hi girls

I've got 11 booked in up to 30th october, so I am going for all the success start prods, and trying to recruit as well!
Gonna be a very busy bunny!!

Loving all the hints tips and advice on here, long may it continue!!

Hi Claire, wow well done, your first party sounds brilliant!! What's your secret??

lippy1966

lol
No secrets, but have done other party plan before, so done what I did before...
couple are pub parties, one for my cambridge diet councellor, and some from canvassing at local Body Shop shop, one from last nights party and one for a friend.
To be honest the sales last night were easy peasy, didnt have to push.
Hope the rest are as esay to do!

Re pub parties, wats the best way to do this? Would you approach the pub for a ladies night and they would get out of it more custom?

I offered to do a fundraising party for a charity that they support, or for October, Breast cancer "wear it pink" campaign, for 10% of the party sales

hi all hope someone can help! Ive got an order froma party in a bag to process out of the high summer catalogue. One customer has paid on maestro and she has said there isnt an issue number (which i think is odd) she lives in scotland so i cant even check the card to see if shes right or not. This order is for £124 so i need it through really. I cant call care line til tomorrow. Do you think they will let me process it? Not sure what to do really?

lippy1966

my maestro card doesnt have an issue number, so she may be right..... but body shop wouldn't accept my payment from it, as no option to put maestro!
call and see if she has another card?

My maestro doesn't have an issue no either and it always gets excepted as i pay the outstanding balance on it. Put it through and if it comes up not allowing it, try just putting issue no 1 in. Mine works though.
