Mialisia Fashion Event Introduction and Training

Mialisia Team Diamond Designers

Here are some ideas for Fashion Event Introduction:

1.         Comfortable and simply intro. Puts guests at ease when they know what expectations and plans for the night are.
2.         Explain that we have 3 purposesFind CustomersFind hosts or "Fashionistas"...who want to host a fashion event and earn free jewelry, and Find Designers...women who want to make some extra money.
3.         On the business opportunity...keep it light/soft approach and say, "You may be interested in becoming a designer or you may know someone who would be a great designer and who likes to have fun and be creative. It takes the pressure off but yet gets them thinking about them doing what the designer does.
4.         Simple display shows how duplicateable this business is. See how simple her display is? Not even a fancy table or forms. Not saying you have to do this as it is nice to display the pieces during the intro (allows them to have ideas for later). Though keeping the jewelry in the mat does keep them from looking around at the beginning and asking all these questions before you had a chance to properly explain the concept.   I recommend using the mats as this allows you to simply lay the jewelry out and women may find it more inviting to try on. Some may feel bad taking it off a beautiful display.
5.         Give each guest a clipboard with order form up front.  Explain to view it as a wish list/no obligation/star items that are your very favorites. Women are more comfortable putting some of their basic info on it if they know it could be used just as a wish list and they don’t have to buy that night. This also makes the close easier at the end and less time consuming for you.
6.         Explain how you are them to help them. Ask, “Who buys you gift? Husbands, Boyfriends, Grandparents, Friends, Parents, etc. I am going to help them out by sharing some of your favorites with them around your anniversary, birthday, and shopping holidays.” Explain “that many spouses are clueless and scramble and stress out trying to buy them a gift and get something that guarantees you like and would want”. Explain that you are helping them. When you look at sales this way it makes it so much easier to place an order for them rather than “closing” your friends to help you to make money.
7.         Explain the great quality of the jewelry
8.         Let them know that after you play with it...at the end you will have specials to tell them about. It keeps women from leaving early because who wants to miss a sale?
9.         Explain that they can be the trendsetter among all their friends by sharing this new concept with them and showing them your VersaStyle jewelry. We all like to have the inside scoop and share new fashion ideas
10.      Explain Annelise's story and how the jewelry came about and the value and benefits of the jewelry.
11.      Get the guests to laugh and have fun as part of the introduction. It relaxes them and shows that you want to laugh and have fun.
12.      Demos some looks not on yourself...but invite guests up. As you do this, the other women say how cute she looks (who doesn't like to hear that?). I would add that you should have several mirrors so the guest up front can see how she looks (the more you get the women "seeing" the jewelry on them....the more you increase your sales. Notice how she leaves the jewelry on them (puppy dog close). Only one mirror will decrease your sales. Pick up lightweight and simple mirrors. Buy some stands so the mirrors are at the right height top stand up and see the jewelry on them.
13.      Ask Good questions to uncover needs. For example, “Think of your costume jewelry and how many of those have a lifetime guarantee 1, 5, 10+ years from when you bought it?” Or “How many of you have jewelry that you can only really wear with one outfit...due to the style, color, neck line of what you are wearing, etc?” Or “What frustrations do you have with your jewelry?” Follow it up with how this jewelry can solve the problem(s)...adjustable, you can come up with your own designs, can wear it around your neck, wrist, bracelet, ankle, boots, etc.

MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL….YOU GOTTA BOOK PARTIES IN ORDER TO FIND CUSTOMERs,  FASHIONISTAS, AND DESIGNERS.
