Thirty-One Thursday: Party Set Up!

ATTENTION: THIRTY-ONE CONSULTANTS

Here is how I display my items at a party!

I have been asked some questions about party set-up since the last post of "How To Pack For A Party!"

Q1. How do you display every item?

A1. I categorize my items... in the Your-Way-Cube I store all the purses... if someone asks about a purse I know right where to look. In the You-Way-Rectangle I store all my wallets... if someone asks about a wallet I know right where to look. This way when I'm giving my demonstration I know where to grab from. The monthly special items I try to stack in the middle to be the center of attention. Everything else just falls into place around it.

Q2. Do you take old print & old colors?

A2. I do, most of the retired products I have a use as Cash & Carry so I bring them to sell. I only bring item that are for sale in the current catalog... no matter what color they are in. However alot of Party Punch items are mine and can not be ordered in this Fall 2013 catalog in the Part Punch color... but I bring them to show the shape of the item not so much the color. (Just study your product and know what is available in the current catalog)

Q3. How do you help the products keep their shape?

A3. Plastic Bags from the grocery store are your best friend. Also, I display them with other products in them. Example, the Large Utility Tote holds the Single & Double Thermal to help hold shape... (see picture below) But my other trick goes along with question #2. I use repeat products, or products in old colors to help keep shape. Example, I have two Hostess Exclusive Deluxe Beauty Bags... One I stuffed in my Super Organizing Tote to help hold it's shape. If a customer wanted to see this "other bag" I just grabbed from the SOT.

(Look for Picture Answers below...)

Take advantage of places to hang stuff in your hostess' home. Ask for permission and hang away :)

A3. Single & Double Thermal hold their shape pretty good. Therefore I place them into the Large Utility Tote to show how they can be styled daily and also to hold the shape of the LUT.

Hang-It-Up Key Fob with Keep-It-Caddy on to of a Fresh Market Thermal. Saves on space and can be used like this when traveling.

My customer  lap boards help keep shape to the Mini Utility Bin. Also, easy to grab when someone else walks into the party!

A1. Wallets in the You-Way-Rectangle.

A1. Purses in the Your-Way-Cube.

Party Supplies like these usually end up on a coffee table or near the "check-out area"

I'd love to hear how you set up your display!

Wear It Wednesday: From Summer to Fall.

If your anything like me, once it starts to get colder my Summer Clothes get tucked away to make room for my vests & scarfs.  BUT.... This year I purchased so many FUN Tanks that I REFUSE to put them away! Well, I found a way I can keep them out... I'm a cardiganaholic! Once it's a wee-bit-chilly out... my cardigans are in full effect.

Technique Tuesday!

The 30 Day Purchase Plan.
I'm a girl who likes to shop
But hates to spend money, 
on something I will use/wear once.
And, I don't like to wait!
When I want something, 
I want it like now.

So I came a crossed a technique to test yourself...
How bad do you really want/need it?
When you ready to make a big purchase, WAIT!
30 days...

Take a minute and create a 30-day list. Every time you want to buy something that is not absolutley necessary put it on the list, along with the date it was added. Make a rule to never by anything on the list... until it has been on there for 30 days.

Manage Monday: Planners

I've always been a big fan of planners. I have three that I carry with me. One for Work one for Social and now one for Blogging. So I figure it was about time to condense down and conjoin them all together!
While I'm on the look out for the perfect planner... I'm gonna take you shopping with me!

After more digging, I now belong to a #planneradicts group on Facebook. These girls don't hold back they know what they like and how to work their lives into their custom planners. It is great to get ideas from them... Join if you dare ;)

Do you own one of these planners? 

If so, do you like it?

If not, what one do you like the best just by presentation?
