This week I will begin a series
of posts to share tips and suggestions from some of our Stylists. These are ideas that have brought great
results in their business. Today I will talk about two specific ideas that are
helping Stylists handle their sales in an easier and faster way.
1. Using Credit Card Swipe
Readers. There are
numerous companies that offer this service, but one that has given great
results is called "Square."
It works with i-Phones, iOS and Android devices, and accepts VISA,
Master Card, American Express and Discover. They charge 2.75% per swipe with no
additional fees, and you get your money the next day. You can pick one up at
retail stores such as Best Buy, which sells it for $9.95. You also get a $10 rebate, making it
free to you. Or you can order it
at squareup.com for FREE. The Stylists who have been using Square have
been incredibly happy with it and highly recommend it. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you
then place the orders on your Stylist’s account and have it shipped directly to
the customers, please put a note on the Comments Section, clarifying that an
invoice should not be included with the order, to avoid the customer seeing
your discounted Stylist price.
2. Setting up laptop computers
and/or tablets at Home Parties/Open Houses. Vessel Stylists Carmen Rodriguez and Ethel Rolon
from Tampa, FL had a big joint Open House with lots of guests. They decided to
set up a couple of computers. Once
their guests had viewed the jewelry and were ready to purchase, they were able
to sit in front of a computer, set up a customer account and place their own orders.
They say it worked very well because the new customers not only learned how to place
Vessel orders, but in addition, the Stylists did not have to handle any cash,
checks or credit card numbers, and had the time to help to the other guests. In
addition, at another table they also had a computer that was running the Launch
Video in a loop, and had information about the Vessel business. They had a few people sign up as new
Stylists that same night.
We look forward to sharing other
great tips from our Stylists. If
you have some ideas you would like to share, please send me an email to dioni@vesselscentsofstyle.com.
