How Can I Boost Interest in My Mystery Host Show?

[alidafrizzell]

HELP! My January sales have fizzled big time and I really need to get some more sales in for the month. I have set up a Mystery Host Show as a Catalog show... put it in my Newsletter and on Facebook. I am just not getting any interest! Since there is only a week left I was thinking of offering an additional incentive but not sure what.

This is one thought of adding to it...
What a SWEET deal I have for you!
Participate in my Mystery Host Show for January…
(Place an order… Book a February Show… Sign up to be a consultant on my team)

You will automatically be entered to win ???????

I am actually doing this for January also but remember hosts get more free in January so the host benefits are higher. I emailed my customers (not in my newsletter so it got special attention) and posted on Facebook. I have 8 people that wanted to be a part. Because of the higher host values, the first host will get $150 free, the second one $100 and three people will get $55! I also enticed them by offering a $13 item free just for participating (round up trivet, love giving that thing as a special!). You might need to start calling some people - maybe recent guests at your parties to see if they were able to get everything they wanted, past hosts, etc.

(Thinking maybe a gift card to a local restaurant… or a free product… or a discount on a future order)Any suggestions?First of all, don't panic! It's not uncommon for sales to slow down in January after the holiday rush. Here are a few suggestions to help boost your sales in the last week of the month:1. Offer a limited time discount or promotion. This can be a percentage off a certain product or a buy one, get one free deal. Make sure to promote it heavily on social media and in your newsletter.2. Host a flash sale. This is a great way to create urgency and get people to act quickly. Offer a deep discount on a popular product for a limited time (a few hours or a day) and promote it through social media and email.3. Reach out to your previous customers and offer them a special deal or discount. They have already purchased from you before, so they are more likely to do so again.4. Partner with other small businesses or influencers for a joint promotion. This can help you reach a new audience and bring in more sales.5. Offer a referral program. Encourage your current customers to refer their friends and family to you by offering them a discount or free product for every referral that makes a purchase.6. Host a virtual party or event. This can be a fun way to engage with your customers and showcase your products. Offer exclusive discounts or prizes for those who attend and make a purchase.As for your Mystery Host Show, here are a few ideas for additional incentives:- Offer a free product or gift basket to the winner of the Mystery Host Show.- Give a discount or credit towards a future purchase to the winner.- Partner with a local business to offer a gift certificate or prize.- Offer a personalized gift or item from your product line.- Give a bonus entry to those who book a February show or sign up to be a consultant on your team.Remember to promote your Mystery Host Show heavily and create a sense of excitement and urgency around it. Good luck and don't give up!
