December Don't and December Do...

December is nearly here and it’s time for you to shine in your business. So, what will you do? Here is a checklist that can help navigate you toward success and avoid common holiday rush pitfalls.


Do Not’s

• DO NOT wait until Wednesday, December 15 to follow-up with customers who said they wanted to order! You will frustrate your customers and yourself. 
• DO NOT assume your customers, friends and family will call you if they need something. Take charge of your business and make the call. 
• DO NOT let sales go by because your customers, friends and family are uninformed…

Do they know you have an online store that ships gifts to anywhere in the U.S.?


Do they know you have 100’s of great gift ideas – many under $50?


Do they know you can save them money this holiday season with a fabulous Hostess Program?


Do’s

• On or before December 1, send an email, newsletter or post card to your customers, friends and family reminding them you CAN support their holiday gift needs. Remember, Christmas guarantee delivery date for shows and online orders is Wednesday, December 15. 
• Place a phone call to your customers who typically order in December for special gifts (i.e. secret Santa gift exchanges, teachers, pastors, friends, mailman, etc.) 
• Schedule a fun, quick "stop and shop” event that allows your customers, friends and family to stop by and order their holiday gifts with you personally. Have a few Longaberger food items or other great products on-hand for guests to cash and carry. 
• Plan to join us Tuesday, November 30 for our Tuesday Trainings session that will focus on Open Houses from A – Z.  Be sure to be at your computer at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the webinar to ensure the link is downloaded and you are registered before we begin promptly at 8 p.m. ET. 
• Carry a product and flyers with you everywhere you go! Listen for cues and make your move to share Longaberger!

For example:
I need the perfect gift for…
I am looking for a really unique gift…
I wish I could call someone and tell them what gifts I want…
I am tired of looking through stores and malls…
My holiday budget is limited, so I am looking for great gifts at a great value…


According to research, December 15 is one of the busiest online shopping days. Do make sure you get your share of the sales by ensuring your customers AND their friends know they can shop online with you!


With two days left in November and 15 great shopping days in December, you can be a Holiday Hero! Your extra touch will lead to great business, which results in money in your pocket!
