Holiday Savings

As I know how it feels to be strapped for cash this holiday season, I decided to help out. Running my own business means I can run my own specials. So I held a lia sophia open house a few weeks ago. I ran some great December holiday specials, and even offered a chance to win the hostess benefits.

The special I ran was Buy 1 item at regular price, and get up to your next 4 items 50% off. (most expensive pieces always half off of course) If they bought all 5 items, than they got any item out of the catalog valued up to $25 for FREE!

On top of the very great Holiday special I also did a mystery hostess raffle. That is an event where the guests have a chance to win part of the hostess benefits. So I gave out raffle tickets out for certain things done before, during, and after the show. Than at the end of the night did a drawing. There were 4 great prizes...

Grand Prize: 20% of show sales in FREE jewelry!

1st Runner up: 3 pieces at Hostess Bonus Pricing!

2nd Runner Up: 1 piece at Hostess Bonus Pricing, and a FREE retired piece of jewelry

3rd Runner Up: A FREE retired piece of jewelry

Unfortunately there weren't many in attendance at the party, only 4 people in attendance. But those 4 really saved some mega bucks! And all one one of the prizes. Double bonus for them! I left the show open for an additional week for anyone else who might want to save some cash. Who doesn't like getting jewelry for Christmas?! And quite a few people took me up on that offer. :)

The party was such a great time! With a smaller crowd you really got to have more of an intimate time. We all got to get to know each other a little bit better, and had some great conversations flowing! Before we knew it, hours had flown by. I love having a great night out like that :)

So the GRAND TOTAL of savings of all the customers of this show was, $1,405.00!!! How awesome is that? Seriously! The best savings of the night was one guest who saved, $514! That is just awesome.

I know its probably not a lot, but I'm glad I could offer some great sales and help a few people save a little bit more cash during this holiday season. When I delivered the jewelry today everyone was so excited to see the jewelry and, even more geeked when they heard how much they saved. That put a smile on my face :)

Happy Holidays!
