Where are you hoping to sell them ? We have found that many markets or craft fairs will not allow Neals yard products

Do they give a reason why NY isn't allowed?

I've been trying since April to get someone to have a party for me, so to date I haven't sold anything. Just too expensive

Are there not other ways you can try to make sales jillyflower? I would be curious to find out why certain markets don't allow NY as that would be a way or have you thought about informal coffee mornings or leaving a basket in work places or schools?

I have thought about other ways of selling but as I work full time anything during day is out and apparently you need at least a bit of spare stock to go to fairs etc. I did take a basket into work but although every body tried the products nobody wanted to lay out the money to buy any. As for why they won't always let NYR into fairs, I've got no idea.

Hi,
I sell similar products as NY and I have never had any success at fairs, be it craft, wedding, school etc. People aren't expecting to spend that much at that kind of event.
In the party style environment, people get a chance to consider the quality and enjoyment from the product before they contemplate the price.
Have you considered attending some office staff rooms on a free basis, to demonstrate (with hand massages, facials & pamper style treatments) to encourage people to book?

I wonder if it depends where you're selling them (geographically) - I would imagine that coffee mornings etc in more affluent areas would be more successful in making sales on something that others may deem expensive but good quality?

I'm with a Company selling similar products to NY and have found that door knocking and putting brochures through works well and i'm now thinking about parties using the mineral makeup range. We have done a few local stalls but round here they are expensive around £30 and the ones we have done haven't had the footfall unfortunately so we prefer other ways to find customers who have become regular orderers . We also do a monthly newsletters to our customers offering free samples which works well and a % off their next order if they refer a friend who then orders.
