T9-09 Holiday or Christmas Gifts from The Booster!

Holiday Gifts to Boost your Business

Gift a gift that gives back to boost your businesses

The Holidays and Christmas are quickly approaching and we have some fabulous ideas for Christmas Gifts for your team, friends in the business, upline or even sideline.

But, why is giving Booster Products as Christmas Gifts such a good idea?

Well, of course WE recommend it because it is good for US! But better yet… it is GOOD FOR YOU!   Here’s a few reasons why:

1- When you get a gift, aren’t you excited to get it out and use it?  Most people are and when you give Booster products to your team as a gift, they get back to work quicker in order to use it!

2- When you give Booster products it is a gift that gives a return many times over.  It doesn’t just save them money (if they were to purchase the products for themselves) but as they USE the products, they MAKE more money!

3- When they receive Booster products as a gift from you, it lets them know you are interested in helping them be more successful!

4- Your team members will be excited to try some new things and this will get them excited for the new year.

5- Whether you need gifts for your team, upline, crossline or friends in the business we have LOTS of ideas!  Since Booster products have proven to give such a HUGE return on your investment your gift is a far greater value than what you are spending.

6- Some of our gifts even come all “gift-wrapped” and ready to go so it is simple and easy for you!

7- NO SALES TAX unless you live in Utah!  That saves you an additional percentage over buy products locally!

8-For those of you who have long-distance teams, most of these packs are easily mailed!  Most will fit in a Priority Mail Envelope!  One more thing to make it easy.  Or, we offer “Gift Cards” that can be mailed in a card.  Or, if you would like us to email them, just CALL our office at 435-245-6088 for information.

9- Flat Rate Shipping!  No matter the size of your order- our shipping is only $5.15!  That is a great deal.  Plus if you order TWICE between Nov 20th and Dec 14th, 2012 you’ll receive a voucher for FREE SHIPPING on an order in January!  This way you can really take advantage of the Door Crashers and spread out your Christmas Shopping a little.  (You’ll need to add the “Free Shipping Voucher” to your cart beginning November 25th, 2012.  You’ll be able to find it in the Idea of the Week Category.)

Now here are some suggested “Packs” and items and who to give them to…..

A: K-CGift Pack- Each of these packs are a $15+ Value for only $3.77 each!  That’s over 75%off! (For this value, you must buy in sets of 3)  This year’s pack includes a delightful “Plaque” that is a gift in itself along with a great selection of stickers to get started.  Each of these packs come gift wrapped too!  They each include a $5 Booster Gift Card and here is a way you can DOUBLE that value!  Once you’ve given them their gift, go to our website and LOGIN and then click on REFERRAL PROGRAM.  You’ll be able to enter their information and EACH of them will receive a $5 Voucher they can use on their order.  (As long as they are a NEW customer!)  Better yet, YOU can earn the money back that you paid for the gift because as THEY place an order (using their $5.00 gift card PLUS their $5.00 Voucher) YOU will receive a $5.00 Voucher you can use on another order!  Wow… talk about a WIN… WIN… WIN situation!  Now, you may ask WHY do we offer this… because we KNOW as your team members begin to use our products they will see a difference in their business.  The more they use, the more success they will have (and when they are successful, you are too!)

B:  You can add even MORE Stickers and products to their gift if you choose by adding stickers from the “Case-LOT Sale” or our “Door Crashers!”  Case-Lot stickers are only 83¢ per sheet!  You can use them in their gifts, or even to fill your prize basket for the coming year.  Quantities at this price are limited so get them while you can!  Door Crashers change each week!

C- Giving Booster items such as the K-Motivation Pack to team members who are building a team will give them some fun things to encourage their team members.

D- Giving Booster items such as those in the K-Recognition Pack to your upline saves them time and energy looking for products to use for those on their team.  They will really appreciate your thoughtfulness and it makes it easier for them to praise and recognize their team.

E- Many people love reference books.  The K-Connections Count Pack includes a great book as well as the products to help them set themselves apart!

F- The K-Guest Pack is perfect for a friend in the business to help them get organized for their parties in the New Year!  It includes a great selection of products and they will be empowered to get things going!

G- The K-Recruit $ Pack gives EVERYONE and ANYONE simple tools to get their name out there and recruit!  Simple and easy suggestions!

H- So many people tell us how they love our FOLDERS!  The K-Folders Pack is the perfect gift to help anyone be organized to start their parties for the new year.

I- Delightful Motivational or Recognition Hand Crafted Plaques make delightful gifts for every team member!  See “HC1055 — Great People do Great things… You’re Great,” “HC1056 — Reach for the Stars” or “HC1057 — Success is only a phone call away!”

Remember, YOUR Success and the Success of your team and friends is our goal!  Booster products have PROVEN to help over 1 million consultants to be more successful!  We would LOVE to add YOUR TEAM members to the list!  It is unbelievable to many how a 2¢ sticker can have such an impact on their businesses but if you are in doubt, read some of the testimonials on our website.  Better yet, use this opportunity to try it for yourself.  Track the results for yourself.  Start the new year by doing what we teach and see how it impacts your business!  I know you’ll be impressed and excited by the results!

T0-08 — Stickers: WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY & HOW!

Stickers keep talking when you stop!

WHO?  YOU should be using stickers because they have a tremendous impact on your business!  Customers tell us they love using them because they do the talking for them.  Who notices them?   Everyone! 
 
WHAT?  Booster Stickers! Because they are graphically designed to be eye-catching and get attention!   We have colorful designs that look like little logos!  People are drawn to read them, then because they are graphically designed, then the RIGHT side of the brain will read them over and over again even when they just glance at them!
 
WHEN?   All the time!   Stick them, refer to them, comment on them and stick them some more!   They’ll get you responses all the time!   When you use stickers you are constantly planting booking and recruiting seeds in a way that people become curious and start asking you questions. 
 
WHERE?   Everywhere!   Use them on everything such as invitations, catalogs, envelopes, your products, folders, packets, business cards, brochures & you can even wear them!   Since there are different designs for each of the Key Areas of your business you’ll want to use a variety to get them thinking about all the benefits of your business.
 
WHY? Because stickers encourage customers to talk to you!   They generate more people at your parties and more sales! They make customers feel good because they can see you’ve taken that extra moment to put a “Thank You” sticker on their invoice.   They get people thinking about your booking and recruiting opportunities without you having to say anything!   In fact, when you use them on every invitation you are planting seeds before you even meet them.   And most important WHY is: THEY WORK! 
 
HOW: Just START!   Start putting them everywhere (of course you have to order them first) and you’ll be amazed at the difference little 2 cent stickers can make for your business! 
 
Remember to apply the A-B-C-D formula! 
 
A Success Formula
If the B for Benefit
Is greater than the C for Cost
Then D = DO IT ! 
 
Give it a try and see what stickers can do for you!
Start shopping now- Just click SHOP ALL PRODUCTS then STICKERS in the categories down the left.  Then click the KEY AREAS of your business you want to boost  Or, click the Key Area Categories, then click STICKERS in each one.

EGG Hunt for Savings! Learn how to find products to boost your business

Happy Easter- EGG Hunt Sale!
Sale prices good April 8-13, 2012 —  Sorry this sale is over, but this post is still informative on how to find products on our website.

Find the 14 EGGS to get the Deals: 
Over $30 in products for less than $5!

Plus while you are searching, watch for the ON SALE items in almost every category!   You’ll find Stickers for only $1.17 per sheet, PR Stickers for only $1.47 per sheet!  Buttons for 60¢ each and Bookmarks for only 19¢ each! 

Yes, you’ll have to find your gifts (kind of like when you were a child and went on your Easter Egg Hunt — wasn’t it fun?)
But I’m going to make it EASY for you and tell you exactly where to find them!

Now, in the process, you’ll learn how things are laid out in our website to make it easier for you to find things in the future.  Our website works like most others, but we have some unique situations — we have OVER 2000 items!.  So we’ve created a system to make it easier to find things – but if YOU don’t understand our system, you may not know where to begin.

So let’s get started!  I recommend you PRINT this PDF and then you can easily follow along.  I’m going to tell you EXACTLY where to go, and then give you some hints for future information.  (If you would rather read the info from this BLOG use the tabs along the bottom of your screen to go back and forth between the website and the blog.)

Or HERE IS THE LINK TO THE PDF: The Booster Egg Hunt for Savings

First, let’s discuss “The KEYS to Success!”  We have taken your business and broken it into 9 different KEY AREAS. (This is also explained in the NEW CUSTOMERS item on our Home Page.) We then use these “Keys” to sort the products.  See if you can relate to each of these areas:
Key 1: Get Bookings Booming
Key 2: Have Happy Hosts
Key 3: Attract Greater Attendance
Key 4: Get Sales Soaring
Key 5: Have Committed Customers
Key 6: Have Raving Recruits
Key 7: Motivate & Inspire
Key 8: Recognize & Reward
Key 9: Seasonal Success!
Now, don’t you want to have ALL of this for your business?

I’m sure you do, and if you are looking for help in a specific area, you can go to THAT Key and see all the products we offer.  We DO provide the “little things that make a BIG difference!”

HINT:  All our product NUMBERS match the KEY they are intended to help you in.  For example a Key 1: Booking stickers will start with the number 1 after the S.  For many companies, item numbers don’t mean anything but for us they do.  For example products beginning with: S= Stickers, PR= Stickers PRinted in our office, PP=Postcards, B=Buttons, PS = Printable Stickers (stickers you can print ONTO).   These LETTERS will also correspond to many of the categories!

Sometimes there are letters at the END of a product SKU as well- they give clear definition of what a product is.  For example if a sticker ENDS in PR it means it is personalized for you and printed in our office. A postcard that ends in CT means it is printed in COLOR with TEXT. Stickers that end in A, B, C, etc, means the SAME DESIGN is available in different sizes. A DS for Display Sign that ends in CD means it is like a card and will stand up in your display.  The reason we add the letter to the END of the product is so they will all come up together and you can see the different options available for the same product.

FIRST- SET UP YOUR ACCOUNT or LOG INTO your account!  Click on Welcome LOG IN or  YOUR ACCOUNT (upper right- below the search button)  If you’ve already registered on our NEW WEBSITE, enter your email and password to log in.  To create your account enter your email and follow the instructions.  Remember, this is a NEW WEBSITE (Since Sept 2011)!  Even if you have been our customers for years, you will need to set up an account on the NEW website.  NOTE:  Always refresh your screen when logging in to make sure you get the newest info.

NOTE:  You CAN place an order as a guest, without logging in or setting up an account but you will NOT have access to track that order or any order history.  There are also many BENEFITS of being a registered customer:

You’ll earn LOYALTY POINTS you can use for products of your choice.You can TRACK your order HISTORY
You can  join our REFERRAL PROGRAM
You can create MULTIPLE WISH LISTS!  (They can be viewed from ANY computer once you are logged in!)
Some Sale prices don’t show up unless you ARE logged in.

The website will SAVE YOUR CART as long as you LOG IN!  However, be sure to finalize your order before a particular sale is over because once the prices have been changed you will no longer receive the sale prices, (even if the items are in your saved cart.)
Really quick, let’s start a WISH LIST!  You’ll see once you are logged in a PINK “MY ACCOUNT” section comes up in the left column.  Click on MY WISHLISTS.  Create one- name it whatever you like and SAVE it.  Then, as you are scrolling through the site and see a product you like, you can click VIEW and ADD it to your wish list.  Then, when you come back again, click on the wish list and select which list you want to view.  HINT: If you really like a FREE training idea, you can ADD that “product” that has the brief training and links to our BLOG to your wish list and you’ll have the link to all those products without having to add each product individually!.  Just for setting up your wish list you’ll get a FREE GIFT with your order, I’ll tell you about it in a minute.

Now, let’s find that $30 worth of products for less than $5!  On the 14 items with the EGG there is a LIMIT of ONE!  The website won’t let us limit you, but if you order more than one, we will only SHIP ONE and you’ll be wasting your money.  It will SAY LIMIT ONE in the Top description line.  You’ll be looking for items with the FLAG in the graphic.  (This Fun Job Button is found in Key 6 Buttons or search for the item number!)

Our NEW website is so fast that it should take you LESS than 30 minutes (unless you get sidetracked and start reading some of the training or looking for the other GIFT products!)  Yes, we actually have OVER 250 total items on this Egg Hunt.  You will find some in almost EVERY category.  Just look for the ON SALE right above the price in the products.  There is NO LIMIT on these products so you can get them for yourself, gifts, whatever!  Stock up at these LOW prices!

Let’s start SHOPPING!
1- Shop ALL Products:  EVERYTHING in our product line is listed here.  They are divided by the TYPE of PRODUCT.  If you are looking ONLY for Stickers, you can start here.  Let’s find the first item:

Click on SHOP ALL PRODUCTS (If you click on the title- the SUB-CATEGORIES will show in the middle.  If you click the + the list will show below the header.  Then click on STICKERS.  Then TOP SELLING STICKERS.  Click on TS1-Booking.  Scroll down and you’ll find LS1122  “Every item has 3 prices” Stickers for only 20¢!  Add it to your cart!
HINT:  Look along the top of the center section, you’ll see what they call “breadcrumbs” like from Hansel and Gretel, these tell you what categories you went through to get where you are!  In the future I will use the > symbol instead of “then” over and over again to show you what categories to click on.

2- Click on STICKERS in the Breadcrumb line.  It will take you back to the STICKER CATEGORY.  Now click on SPP-Pen Pal Stickers.  Scroll down and you’ll find a lot of the pen pal stickers on sale for only $1.17!   FYI:  The Pen Pal stickers are also shown throughout the sticker categories, but customers are often looking for these specific type of stickers so we’ve put them in their own category.  We’ve done the same for the COMBO sheets.  See some of the deals there too!

3- Go to the TOP HEADER LINE and click on SHOP ALL PRODUCTS (this takes you to the same category as mentioned in #1- just a different way to get there.  Click on OTHER PRODUCTS.  You’ll see a LONG list of categories.  This is to help you find SPECIFIC Types of products.  Click on TC-Team Cards.  You’ll see across the top that there are 60 items in that Category. If you go to the bottom of the page, you’ll see that you can change it to show 50 items per page.  Do that then click OK.  Then you’ll be able to scroll down to the bottom.. (You might find a few other deals along the way!   The item you are looking for is TC70157GC Dream Big CARD with envelope.  Or, you can click on the SORT BY and select Z to A.  It will then be among the first items you see for only 19¢!  Add it to your cart!

Now let’s approach the products from the KEYS direction:

4- In the CATEGORY LIST click Key 2: Hosts>Key 2: Postcards.  You’ll see there are 67 items in this category.  You are looking for item PP20529CT — If Call Them They Will Come.  It is on page 4.  But you can scroll down to the bottom and click on 50 items then OK and all 67 items will show up on TWO pages.  Now remember, our website is FAST, but we also have TONS of graphics to load, so it may take a few seconds.  Then scroll down and there it is for only 50¢/pkg!  For the fun of it, click VIEW.  You’ll see a larger graphic and you can actually run your mouse over the graphic and it will enlarge it even more.  If you click on the graphic, it will show even bigger so you can actually read the text.   Another way to make it bigger is with newer versions of Windows you can hold down your CONTROL key and roll your SCROLL in your mouse and the items on the screen will get bigger or smaller. Be sure to see the KEY 2 Postcards for Lots of the SALE deals.  Quantities are Limited so get them while you can!

While you are in PRODUCT VIEW let’s point out a few other features. 
If you click on MORE DETAILS the page will automatically scroll down to the TABS.  The contents of the first MORE INFO tab is automatically shown.  This gives you general usage of a product and exactly what the GRAPHIC or GRAPHIC and TEXT reads.
DATA SHEET TAB will tell you the regular price on products, what basic KEY info so we don’t have to repeat ourselves over and over again and PRODUCT DESCRIPTION information telling you sizes, how many per package etc.
COMMENTS TAB is where YOU can write a REVIEW on a product, or read what others have written.
INFO may or may not have additional information in it.
DOWNLOAD- If this tab shows that means there are FREE DOWNLOADS that go along with this product.  For example this is where TEMPLATES would be.
ACCESSORIES- If this tab show that means there is additional training.  If you are familiar with our IDEA OF THE WEEK FREE TRAINING that we offer, you know I give LOTS of training.  Each of those training ideas are given a PRODUCT SKU and that PRODUCT is attached to each of the products mentioned in that training under the ACCESSORIES TAB.  There may be SEVERAL different trainings mentioned under a product.  This saves me from repeating the training and allows YOU to see a more comprehensive training and other products that relate.

We are done here, be sure to Click to ADD  the postcard to your cart!  (You’ll see the item float into your cart in the upper right.  If you are actually in VIEW of a product, you can then click the BACK BUTTON and you’ll go to exactly where you were.  If you are adding products from the listing pages, the item will just float into your cart and you’ll stay right where you are.  Or, you can just click on the next category you want to go to under categories in the LEFT column (or the breadcrumb links at the top of the page.)

5- Click on KEY 3: Attendance > Key 3: Stickers.  You are looking for S30310 — Bring Friend (yellow) STICKERS for 20¢.  There are 114  items so you can either click each page, or sort by product name or even price to get the lowest price at the top!  Add it to your cart.

6- Click on KEY 6 Recruit > Key 6: Stickers.  This is where we have over 100 different Stickers to encourage people to ask you about your business.  Put them in your catalogs, on invitations or anything.  You are looking for S64017 — I Love What I Do STICKERS for only 20¢!

7- Click Key 1: Booking > Key 1: Other Products.  You’ll see there are 37+ products.  You are looking for BM12636 — Wish list free host show BOOKMARK for only 1¢.  In the “Other Products” you’ll see K-Packs (Money Saving Packs including selections of products) Erase Boards and so much more.  Check out the savings on the PACKS!

Now we’re going to deal with the SEARCH function of the website. 
It is COOL and FAST!  As you begin to type something into the search, a list of 10 products will come up and you can quickly click on the item you are looking for if it comes up in that list.  If it doesn’t click the actual SEARCH BUTTON then the complete list will show up in the center of the website.  It may be long depending on what you put in the search field.  HINT:  If you make it too many words you won’t get much but if you can think of a specific single word the list could be shorter.

8- Search for the word Customer and you’ll see that over 580 items come up.  But if you search for the word Customer Favorite there are only a few.  .  the S40579 –Customer Favorite, Gotta Try it! Best Seller, Popular Item SET STICKERS for only 20¢.  Other items that are similar will come up too!

9- Search by item number.  Yes, if you know a specific product SKU, type it in and it will come up along with any products where that item number is mentioned.  One of the things we did in creating our new website was applying the KEY number as the first number of the item (after the letter) for EVERY PRODUCT.  Previously our PR stickers and Postcards printed in our office used a different numbering system.  So, if you are trying to find a product from a number you have on a product it should STILL come up because I’ve tried to include the OLD number in the product description.  So let’s search for PR824 which is Motivation Quotes Stickers.  We added a 70 in front of the 824 because this is a MOTIVATIONAL sticker.  So, when you search for PR824, PR70824SET will come up for only 50¢.  Add it to your cart!

10- Search by word.  Search for the word RECOGNIZE.  You’ll see there are 81+ results.  You are looking for SSK8 — Recognize & Reward Combo STICKERS for only 20¢.  Add the sticker to your cart.

Now we’re going to deal with some of the SPECIAL FEATURES of our website.

11- Click Key Pack Club Info under Categories.   Our Key Pack Club is a great way to get TRAINING and PRODUCTS delivered to you each month.  It has LOTS of benefits.  Click on KEY PACK CLUB INFO.  You will see SUBCATEGORIES.  Those subcategories show the products that are included in the monthly keypacks.  You can click on them to see what’s in them.  Now, BELOW those categories are some actual products.  This is where you learn about the Key Pack Club and JOIN the club by adding that item to your cart.  Be sure to click the DOWNLOAD TAB and download the Key Pack Club info for all the details and BENEFITS of joining the key pack club.  As a member of the KPC you get an automatic 10% discount on EVERYTHING on our website and save an additional 20% on items mentioned in that month’s training.  You can save on shipping too by having items added to your Pack and sent with it each month.

12- FREE Training>T9-Seasonal>T9-14 — Spring has Sprung! -7 Steps to Successful Spring.  You’ll see the category header.  Then, below that is a list of all the products.  The first item (9-14 is the actual idea.)  When you click VIEW, you’ll be able to see the links to my BLOG where the actual TEXT of the training is shown.  Then there are links back to the category where ALL the products mentioned are listed.  You are actually in that category so if you scroll down you will see EB2128 –Follow up -hosts Success for YOU! ERASE BOARD for only 50¢.  Add it to your cart.

13-  Click on FREE PARTY IDEAS > PI-5000 –General Party Ideas > PI-5001 — Mystery Hostess Parties.  This is a NEW feature we are starting.  We plan to give you all kinds of Party Ideas for General, Theme, Guys and Seasonal parties (hence the variety of category headers.)  Some of these were previously under the Free Training but we are moving them to this section so we can be more specific.  (Scroll all the way to the bottom and you’ll find the V4124 Customer Care Cards for only $5.99!- NOT an egg item but an ON SALE item –  you’ll see some other items ON SALE too!)

14: Tags and Company Specific.  We have plans to put products into the Company Specific Categories, but for now they aren’t there (because it will take a lot of time) so the EASIER way was to use TAGS.  Scroll down below the TESTIMONIALS in the left column and you’ll see TAGS.   As we develop party themes they will be in this TAG, however they will not be all together like the will be under the Free Party Ideas category.  You’ll be able to click the TAG that matches your company, there may be some overlap.  While you are looking be sure to add items you like to your Wish List.

15- Dollar Deals!  Each week we offer different DOLLAR Deals on products.  (Some may be a Dollar OFF instead of actually cost of $1.00) Click on DOLLAR DEALS category.  We don’t have any items during this sale but each week we have from 10 to 20 Dollar Deals.

16- Idea of the WEEK!  Each week we offer specials and training.  This is the link you’ll click for the list.  You can also click IDEA OF THE WEEK in the banner across the top for the specials each week.  Just so you know, the PRODUCTS that explains the idea is what is shown in that category heading.  It has a link to the ACTUAL CATEGORY where all the products are listed.  Those categories are shown under FREE TRAINING and then the KEY area of the business they pertain to.  Remember, there is a T0- which is OVERALL TRAINING!
Click the IDEA OF THE WEEK category and add the “Make your Wish List” product (if you did) to have us include your FREE GIFT in your order!

If you keep searching through Stickers in Key 2, Key 5 and Key 6 you’ll find 3 more stickers to add to your cart.  You’ll find LOTS of them on sale too!

One more item to search for V1008-PP-NOT LAM Postcard Dividers SET to get organized.  This set is on special for only $1.49 for the NOT LAMINATED version.

That’s IT!  You should now have at LEAST 14 items in your cart.  If you added every item mentioned you’ll have OVER $30 worth of products for less than $5.00!  But hopefully, you’ve take advantage of the other EGG Hunt Deals you’ve found along the way.  You can click on your cart (Upper Right) anytime and make changes to your quantity, etc.

You can still be searching for other SALE items with the ON SALE above the price.  There is NO LIMIT on those items so stock up!  When you finish your order, be sure to submit it.

Once you’ve completed your order, come back here for some tips on finalizing and submitting your order.

T0-05 Creating Momentum

0-05-Creating-Momentum Idea

How can you create momentum in your business?

January sets the tone for your entire year….  but every day is the beginning of a new year!
What do you want to happen in your business?
Basically you have two choices
Maintain the status quo OR Make your business grow!

Which is it that you want?

If you just want to maintain the status quo, that’s fine, just keep doing what you are doing.  Let’s look at what happens as you have parties regularly:

If you do an average of AT LEAST one party a week, you probably won’t lose any ground.  You’ll stay about the same, you may get the occasional recruit.  Keep in mind that you’ll have to work really hard to keep that one party a week because if you have a cancellation or postponement, that will set you back even more.  You wouldn’t have gotten that next booking or met that next customer….  You’ll have to work harder on getting outside orders, get on the phone to keep even that one party per week.  I warn you, it can become really hard to stay motivated and excited about what you are doing.  One negative comment, or NO, can really set you back and slows your momentum even more.

If you are only having ONE party a week, how many NEW people are you meeting?

What happens when you hold TWO parties a week?  You see a shift in your business!  You are more organized.  You know exactly what you need to do when.  You are out meeting people and sharing your products and opportunity so you are improving  your communication skills.  Your cancellations or postponements are rare because you are following all the steps to a successful party.

If you are having TWO parties a week how many people are you meeting?  Think about it, you’ve just DOUBLED your contacts!  You tend to be MORE enthused in your products and opportunity!  You are getting better and better at your presentation.  There are far more positives than negatives and that keeps you more positive!

Once you COMMIT to consistently having TWO parties a week, you see a shift in your business.  You begin to PLAN on being successful.  You PLAN the time to do your business.  You become energized by what is happening … the growth you feel is electric!

Now, what happens if you start having THREE parties a week? 

You’ve now TRIPPLED the contact you’ve made and you’ve TRIPPLED the money you make!  This is when you really begin to see a vitality come into your business.  You become more focused.  You’re actually able to do more!  You get into a routine that builds on your success. (What if you don’t have the time to do 3 parties a week and you still want to see a boost in vitality and income to your business?  It IS possible- keep reading!)

What do you do?

1) Make a decision!  What do you want?  Where do you want your business to be by the next quarter, mid way through the year, by the fall, by the end of the year?

2)  Face up to WHAT you need to DO to achieve your goals? Believing in yourself and keeping a positive attitude ARE important, but what you actually DO is equally important!  When you combine BOTH you become a winner.  We have a bookmark (BM72628) that says” A party fixes everything! Need Money? Book a party! Need Recruits? Book a Party. Need more parties? Book a Party!

It all starts with booking and HAVING parties.  The more successful the party is, the better!

3) Have a PLAN to make EVERY PARTY as successful as it can be!  Yes, there are specific steps you can take to bring you success.  Embrace your decision.  If you want success then you need to DO what is necessary to bring that success into your business.  All the wishing you do without the action will only give you dreams, not REALITY.  If you want the reality of a successful business  … take the steps to success!

4)  I know it can be hard, so give yourself an edge.  “Say it with Stickers!”  How can this help?  I’ll let my customers say it for me:
— I am so thrilled with your products! I have purchased the K-Success SIX Pack, random stickers, the ‘pick-a-date’ pack and buttons, but I must say the stickers are my absolute favorite! I put them on everything. My husband helps me put them on all of the invitations and when I explain what they are to the Hostesses they get really excited. By following the steps in your K-SUCCESS pack and divider system, my business is really starting to pick up and I am regaining my momentum. Using the stickers has really boosted the attendance at my parties. I finally joined the Key Pack Club, too, so I am looking forward to getting stickers automatically every month! Thanks so much! –Tia Johns
–Rave Review on Stickers! I have been using stickers since I started my business and love how they add color and emphasis to my invitations, postcards, thank yous and catalogs. Thanks for making them a great tool and affordable.
–Maren Larson – Jackson, MN

— Love ALL the bright, colorful stickers! I use them on every invitation, order sheets, and even my general mailings. I’m getting positive comments on them at my parties too. My favorite item is Booster Bingo! I am able to use MY products in the squares, which draws attention to those that I am detailing. I hand out a Bingo Card and ‘Wish List’ at the beginning of my presentation. This keeps my party guests ‘on track’ by paying attention to what I say, and what I’m showing. Thank You for so many fabulous ideas!   –Susan Schotten – Austin, CO

— Fanta-stick! I LOVE all the wonderful tools that you have to offer and I also LOVE the fact that you can even make your own stickers to fit your needs if you don’t see something in particular that you would like. (See the Printable Stickers) The Key packs are a wonderful tool in helping your business and they show what you can do with each and every sticker that comes with them!!!!!!!  Mary Strassburg – Weston WI

5)  START!  Using the stickers increases your odds of boosting your results.  Sure, you’re going to run into rejection, no’s and people not calling you back.  Are you going to let that stop your momentum?  Or, are you going to do those “little things” that make a BIG difference in overcoming all the negatives and planting the positives?

6) ADVERTISE!  “Advertising is a form of communication used to encourage or persuade an audience (viewers, readers or listeners) to continue or take some new action!  You HAVE to put out there what you want to come back to you!

How many times at a party can you say the words “Have you ever thought of doing what I’m doing?” to get your customers thinking of this concept?  Once, maybe twice?  But how many times are they THINKING it when the sticker is put in or on your catalogs and folders?  You want to SAY it at least once in your “one-liners” that you mention during your party, but when you use the sticker, they’ll be thinking about it MANY times throughout the party.  This is advertising!  I often refer to it as “planting seeds.”  Once you plant, odds are that things will grow….  But it you don’t plant- what are the odds of things growing?

I challenge you to make a plan, then follow it!  Do whatever you need to do to fill your date book.  Then, do everything you possibly can to make each party as successful as it can possibly be!

Use the stickers to BOOST your odds.  Our customers that use the stickers tell us that they get the “Boost” in results as if they were holding 3 parties per week when they are only holding 2.  HOW?  Because they get a boost in attendance so their customer list grows.  They get a boost in bookings so they are consistently getting TWO new bookings from each party- their datebook stays full from parties so they can spend time following up with customers and getting even more sales rather than having to chase down bookings.

They are getting MORE recruit leads and recruits because people are drawn to their momentum!  They want to be part of a winning team with a winning, committed leader.  All of these things bind together into greater success.

Welcome, I’m Jenny B

Hi, I'm Jenny B, Welcome to The Booster

Hi, I’m Jenny B, Welcome to The Booster

Hello!  I’d like to welcome you to the official BLOG for “The Booster – Jenny B”

This year (2019) we are celebrating 38 years of helping people like you, who are in the Party Plan or Direct Sales Professions to Boost Your Businesses!  We have helped over ONE MILLION consultants and the most common testimonial we receive is,  “I am absolutely AMAZED what a 2¢ sticker can do for my business!”

As I post different training in this blog I’ll be referring to a few of the HUNDREDS of testimonials from our customers.  You are more than welcome to add YOURS to the list by commenting on this blog.  We all LOVE hearing YOUR success stories.

Now, please let me take just a minute and tell you what The Booster is all about.

During our 38 years in business we have developed over 2000 products which are “The “little things” that make a BIG difference to your business!”

My business concepts come from my grandfather who during the depression years had a nanny, gardener, housekeeper and whoever else he could hire to give people jobs. You see, he said, “Sales is King!” in that those in sales are really what makes the economy go around. He, who had come to America before WW1 with only a few dollars in his pocket eventually became a salesman and developed one of the top vacuum cleaner sales organizations in the United States.

He built that business based on two principles:
1. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care about them.
2. Sell the sizzle not the steak! (Which means to share with your customers WHY they need your products and how they will impact their lives.

In 1981, after being top sales in the state of Utah in a party plan company I had joined, I had an opportunity and filled a need to offer products to those in the party plan/direct sales industry that make it easy to apply my grandfathers’ principles. These products have proven to help hundreds of thousands of our customers to Boost their Businesses

The Booster offers stickers, postcards, buttons and more that are developed especially for you. We offer products to help you do the things the “BIG” companies do, yet personalize them for your small company (within your big company.)

In 1996 we divided our products into the “Key Areas of your Business” to help you to focus and be more successful in each of those areas. As you browse through our website and this blog you will find the products and training are divided by those keys. We call them the “Keys to Success!”  See if this doesn’t sound like what you want to have happen in your business (in a nutshell):

Key 1: Get Bookings Booming
Key 2: Have Happy Hosts
Key 3: Attract Greater Attendance
Key 4: Get Sales Soaring
Key 5: Have Committed Customers
Key 6: Have Raving Recruits
Key 7: Motivate & Inspire
Key 8: Recognize & Reward
Key 9: Have Seasonal Success!

Then, in order to help you apply each of those keys to EVERY party/show we developed the “10 Steps to Successful Parties System.” This system helps you to integrate each KEY into every party or show to become as successful as you can be.  Our “Success System Dividers” V1003 offer this training and help you get organized.

And, YES, we offer you products to purchase to implement the ideas we teach. It is so much more effective to spend a few pennies to encourage people to attend your parties than the cost of only a few attending. We offer the TOOLS you can use to build your business. If you were trying to build a house, would you want to do it without hammer and nails? Would you rather use a hand screw driver or an electric one? Booster products make that kind of an impact that power tools make to the carpenter! Read some of the testimonials and reviews of products on our website.

Our products are now listed in our shop on ETSY.   You can click the SHOP FOR BOOSTER PRODUCTS link at the top of the BLOG or the direct link is

https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheBoosterJennyB

TheBooster.com  now goes to this blog.

We have divided The Booster products on the ETSY site by the KEY they are designed to help you with.  Obviously, some products are effective in multiple keys of your business but they will only be shown in 1 category or KEY.  This is the FIRST number of the item as well.

Click on any of the products in the KEYS/CATEGORIES.  Click the different categories HERE in the BLOG for simple training about using stickers on your invitations to boost your attendance, bookings and recruit leads!  Each of our Blogs will link to KEYS/CATEGORIES of products on our website to make it easy for you to apply the principles we teach.

We keep our prices so affordable you can’t afford to NOT use our products!

So, welcome to The Booster! Please, check back often for all kinds of training to Boost your Business.  Soon there will be Audios and Videos to go along with many of the posts.  With this training you will learn how to use these tools to build a thriving business. Browse through the products and think about how they can impact your business.

Sincerely, Jenny B

We are gradually getting items up on the ETSY site.  If something you want is not there, you can call us at 435-245-6088 and leave a message if we are not available.  You can then place an order by phone.  Note:  the 800 number we had for years is no longer working.  Please make note of the 435-245-6088 number.  Thanks!

WHY should you put 4 stickers on every invitation?

K-Invite Pack

Boost not only your attendance but your bookings and recruits when you use 4 stickers on every invitation.

I’ve done this training at conference many times.  Let me share with you what happens…

Here is AUDIO you can listen instead of read!  Jenny B shares what a difference the stickers on your invitations can make!  (Right click and SAVE to your own computer to listen on your ipod!  Or just click to open in a new window and listen on your computer!
T3-K-invite-FOUR-stickers

Most times I ask this question, people laugh and say, “Jenny, you want to make money!” and I reply, “Well, yes when you purchase stickers I do make money, but what is MORE IMPORTANT is that YOU make EVEN MORE money!”

First I ask: How many invitations do you send to a party?   (The average is usually 30)

Then I ask: How many people come?   (Average is 8 — but customers who regularly use Booster products average is 12!)

Then I ask: How many people are learning that you have both booking and recruiting opportunities to offer?   As people think about it they realize only the 8 attending the party or show are learning that they have opportunities!

I then ask: How many are NOT learning that you have opportunities?   I can see the lights go on when people realize that 22 people they are sending invitations to are not getting the opportunity to learn that they could earn FREE products or a great income.

 So, how do you solve this problem?  

When you put both a booking and recruiting sticker on EVERY invitation, you are at least planting seeds with EVERYONE!

Do you know in advance when a seed will land on fertile soil?

Why waste opportunities?   You have that person’s undivided attention for 30 seconds to 1 minute.   Why not plant seeds?   Another advantage is that every time they read one of the stickers, they think about the invitation again and again.   This helps to plant the information into their long term memory.

I then share with them the A B C D formula. So I will share it now with you….

A = A success formula.

B = Benefit.   If the BENEFIT is greater than the

C= COST

D= DO IT!

Does that make sense to you?   That if the Benefit is greater than the Cost to DO it?

Let’s do the math.   It COSTS an average of 50¢ to put a “Bring a friend, receive a free gift” type of sticker on 30 invitations. (Average cost for stickers is about 2¢ each)   If just ONE person brings ONE friend and that friend spends $40, how much do you make?   (With a 25% commission you would make $10.)

So, is the BENEFIT of $10 worth spending 50¢?   If it is, you should DO IT!

Then think of the additional benefits of:

  1. TWO friends coming to the party
  2. the original guest coming because she could bring a friend (or she wouldn’t have come) and she spends $40+
  3. or one of those friends booking a show and starting a party chain in a new neighborhood.
  4. You meet your next new recruit in that new part chain.
  5. The list of possibilities goes on and on!

I can’t guaranteed what WILL happen, but I can guarantee that you WILL MISS 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!

  • At this time of economic slowing can you afford to MISS someone who is looking to EARN free products and will be a hostess for you?
  • Can you afford to MISS that person who is looking for an extra income?
  •  Can you afford to MISS the person who would have come to the party and brought that friend?
  • What is the risk? $2.00 per party!
  • How much do you LOSE if you don’t give it a try? $10, $20, $50 or $100 in PROFIT per party? Bookings? New Recruits?
  • Every day you wait you’re losing opportunities!
  • Do you really want to see your business be more successful? Give it a try! ORDER TODAY!
  • Do you know where would your “Break Even” point be for this concept?
  • You would have to put “Bring a friend” stickers on invitations for 10 parties and ONLY ONE person bring a friend before you would begin to go in the hole!

So, it is time for YOU to make the decision.   Do YOU want to have a more successful business?   Stickers REALLY DO make a BIG difference and with our system dividers (V1003) make it is so easy keep your stickers organized and follow the “Steps to Success!”

So let’s clarify what the FOUR stickers on every invitation should be:
1- A Key 1 Booking Sticker
2- A Key 6 Recruiting Sticker
3- A Key 3 Attendance “Bring a Friend” type sticker
4- A Key 3 Attendance “Having Fun” type sticker or a more company specific sticker telling something about your type of products.

See the K-INVITE Pack!  It gives you 8 sheets of stickers for your invitations.  There is enough to put 4 stickers on each of 140 invitations.

You’ll receive 2 COMBO sheets of Booking Stickers, 2 COMBO sheets of Recruiting stickers and FOUR sheets of Attendance type stickers.

Place your order TODAY and get started watching your business grow!

Here are a few FIVE STAR testimonials that were posted on our old website:

   Jenny B Stickers will change your business…
Ann Langdon – Tucson, AZ (Sunday, June 29, 2008)

I have been using Jenny B stickers for a little over a year now. I have the full binder of stickers and I use them all!

Stickers go in my catalogs, on my invitations, in my hostess packets, and on my recruiting folders.

I mail post cards to potential recruits, Hostesses, and customers when they show an interest in my business.

I won the company trip to Hawaii last year and I don’t think I would have done so well with my sales and recruiting if it were not for the stickers I put on my invitations.

Let me give you a recent example of what the ‘bring a friend’ sticker has done for me. I place these stickers on EVERY invitation I send.

In February I went and did a ‘New Start’ show. (A new team member coming into the business) When I was done and writing up orders a guest walked up and told me she had come with her mom because of the sticker that said her mom would get a free gift. This guest booked a show and asked me about my business.

I gave her a recruiting packet to go home and review. She called me 3 days later and signed up! She was so excited she did not even wait for her show she went out to my website and ordered in her starter case! That was in February.

She has continually been in the top 1 or 2 in sales in my Unit, and has even beat my Division manager in sales once or twice! OH and did I mention that the first thing she did was order her Jenny B stickers for her invitations! She knows the value!

Just think, if I had not put that sticker on that invitation she would not have come and I would have never signed up this great recruit!

You just never know what a sticker could do for you but, I can guarantee you that ONE sticker has paid for EVERY Jenny B item I have ever bought and then some! Thank you Jenny B! I would not be where I am today without you!

   I recently started…
Susan Schotten – Austin, CO

I recently started using your stickers on all my invitations, as well as the preprinted Hostess Coaching cards.
They save me time and have such a colorful presentation.  I do believe the stickers help draw attention to the invite and I can tell everyone about the business opportunity, not just those attending. I use the RSVP on Everything!

   It is working for me TOO!
Michelle – Beaverton, OR

Well, I have read all the testimonials on how these products have ‘boosted’ others sales. AND, I have to say, I think it is working for me TOO! I have been using stickers on all my invites and in my catalogs for several months now, and ironically, my average guests order has gone from about $40-50 per guest….to about $70!! I am very impressed!!

 Truly AMAZING!!!
Tiffaney Kelley, Coppell, TX

I am a Slumber Parties distributor and I have to admit adding the stickers to the back of my invitations have helped increase attendance. I have more people showing up to my parties and it’s amazing!!! I am looking forward to placing my next order so that I can increase my recruiting efforts as well. Thank You so much to the Booster! Jenny B is truly AMAZING!!!

  Increased party sales
Kat Quarterman NJ

I must say that I have been following the 4 stickers on the invitation and it has increased my attendance, gotten the guests there on time (which was a huge problem in my business!), many guests brought a friend, and ultimately has increased party sales!! Kat Quarterman NJ

   Bring a friend
Melissa Barrett – Scottsdale, AZ   (Monday, November 03, 2008)

I just wanted to tell everyone what a HUGE differnce it has made in my business to add the ‘bring a friend and receive a free gift’ sticker to my invites. My parties have doubled in size which in turn has double my earnings!

Great value!
Honey Saylor – Atlanta, GA   (Monday, April 02, 2007)

I purchased two of these packs already. They are a great value and perfect because they cover many of the areas. The stickers are high quality and even the ones that I didn’t think I’d use – I found myself using. Wonderful to start your guests thinking about your business and the gifts they could recieve by hosting!

Your’e A Winner
Wendy M. Lewis – Chicago   (Monday, May 22, 2006)

I have been in direct sales for 6yrs. I have been ordering stickers for a year now. My attendance has increased. I use the “You’re a winner” stickers and the guest always hands me there invites along with placing a order. I also wear the button “I love my job ask me why” I have picked up recurits every where I go. I have that button on and it never fails anyone that have contact with me ask why do you love your job. I cannot count how parties have been booked from that button. Jenny, I have to admit that putting your stickers on my invites and on my catalogs and just everything has made my business grow.  I just want to say thank you. Also the telephone calls from your staff make my day.

Stickers
Sarah Mattar – Aloha, OR   (Tuesday, March 14, 2006)

I love the looks of these stickers and I love the fact that they jump out at you when you see them on catalogs, invites and flyers. I’m so glad my leader gave me the name of this website.
Keep up the great work!!

Stickers
Laura Love – Kelley,IA   (Tuesday, March 07, 2006)

I placed my first order with the booster and received it the other day – I LOVED everything! It was better then Christmas! I really look forward to using all of the items I got. I really believe in these products and love reading all the helpful hints and tips on the website. I couldn’t sleep the night I got my order – I was too busy coming up with all kinds of ideas on how to use the items I got. It was exciting. I am building a downline and will be referring EVERYONE I recruit to use the Booster products! They are awesome and I really believe that utilizing these products will definately BOOST my business! Thanks a bunch! You guys are great!!

K-INVITE STICKERS
Lenore Wossidlo – Pittsburgh, PA   (Sunday, March 05, 2006)

I have been in direct sales for 11 years, and I just started using stickers on my invitations on a REGULAR basis. At my last party in February, we had low attendance, even though the hostess and I did all the right coaching, etc. etc. But the party ended up at over $500 and one person joined. I truly believe that all the stickers on the invitation made a difference because when we made the reminder calls, people ‘remembered’ our invitation.

Sticker
Mindy – Keflavik Iceland   (Sunday, March 05, 2006)

I love the booster stickers, because I can promote my business without even saying anything verbally, it’s all on the sticker. Since using booster, I have more than tripled my business and recruiting. I went from having about $600 in sales and no consultants every month to over $4000 and 3 Consultants signing each month. Booster stickers really help. Thank you Booster.

4 Stickers per invitation
Kimber Boshers – Pulaski, TN   (Saturday, March 04, 2006)

I have been with my direct sales company for 4 years and, after getting off to a GREAT start in 2006, I decided to track back through the years and see what progress I’ve made. I discovered that in previous years my highest January sales fell under $500 and my highest February sales were just over $800. In 2006, I had over $2600 for each of those months!!! I didn’t hold more shows, I simply had much higher attendance and a better prepared hostess!! I encourage everyone on my team to use those 4 stickers per invitation AND implement the Host Follow Up Erase board… they’ll make a HUGE difference.

Snag the Flags!  President’s Week Sale!
Good Feb 19-24, 2012

Find the Flags to get the Deals:  Over $20 in products for less than $2 in less than 30 minutes!

But while you are searching, you could find over $500 in products for $250!  Just watch for the FLAGS on the graphics.  You’ll find Stickers for only 75¢ per sheet, PR Stickers for only $1.25 per sheet!  Buttons for 25¢ each and Bookmarks for only 10¢ each!  Plus PACKS at great savings & more!
Quantities on some of the items at these prices are limited, so the quicker you order the better.

Yes, you’ll have to find your gifts (kind of like when you were a child and went looking — wasn’t it fun?)  But I’m going to make it EASY for you and tell you exactly where to find them!

Now, in the process, you’ll learn how things are laid out in our website to make it easier for you to find things in the future.  Our website works like most others, but we have some unique situations — we have OVER 2000 items!.  So we’ve created a system to make it easier to find things – but if YOU don’t understand our system, you may not know where to begin.

So let’s get started!  I recommend you PRINT this PDF and then you can easily follow along.  I’m going to tell you EXACTLY where to go, and then give you some hints for future information.  (This information is here on my BLOG if that makes it easier to use the tabs along the bottom of your screen to go back and forth between the website and the blog.)

First, let’s discuss “The KEYS to Success!”  We have taken your business and broken it into 9 different KEY AREAS. (This is also explained in the NEW CUSTOMERS item on our Home Page.) We then use these “Keys” to sort the products.  See if you can relate to each of these areas:
Key 1: Get Bookings Booming
Key 2: Have Happy Hosts
Key 3: Attract Greater Attendance
Key 4: Get Sales Soaring
Key 5: Have Committed Customers
Key 6: Have Raving Recruits
Key 7: Motivate & Inspire
Key 8: Recognize & Reward
Key 9: Seasonal Success!

Now, don’t you want to have ALL of this for your business?
I’m sure you do, and if you are looking for help in a specific area, you can go to THAT Key and see all the products we offer.  We DO provide the “little things that make a BIG difference!”

HINT:  All our product NUMBERS match the KEY they are intended to help you in.  For example a Key 1: Booking stickers will start with the number 1 after the S.  For many companies, item numbers don’t mean anything but for us they do.  For example products beginning with: S= Stickers, PR= Stickers PRinted in our office, PP=Postcards, B=Buttons, PS = Printable Stickers (stickers you can print ONTO).   These LETTERS will also correspond to many of the categories!

Sometimes there are letters at the END of a product SKU as well- they give clear definition of what a product is.  For example if a sticker ENDS in PR it means it is personalized for you and printed in our office. A postcard that ends in CT means it is printed in COLOR with TEXT. Stickers that end in A, B, C, etc, means the SAME DESIGN is available in different sizes. A DS for Display Sign that ends in CD means it is like a card and will stand up in your display.  The reason we add the letter to the END of the product is so they will all come up together and you can see the different options available for the same product.

Really quick, let’s start a WISH LIST!  You’ll see once you are logged in a PINK “MY ACCOUNT” section comes up in the left column.  Click on MY WISHLISTS.  Create one- name it whatever you like and SAVE it.  Then, as you are scrolling through the site and see a product you like, you can click VIEW and ADD it to your wish list.  Then, when you come back again, click on the wish list and select which list you want to view.  HINT: If you really like a FREE training idea, you can ADD that “product” that has the brief training and links to our BLOG to your wish list and you’ll have the link to all those products without having to add each product individually!.  Just for setting up your wish list you’ll get a FREE GIFT with your order, I’ll tell you about it in a minute.

Now, let’s find that $20 worth of products for less than $2!  On the 12 Specially Marked items there is a LIMIT of ONE!  The website won’t let us limit you, but if you order more than one, we will only SHIP ONE and you’ll be wasting your money.  It will SAY LIMIT ONE in the Top description line.  You’ll be looking for items with the FLAG in the graphic.

Our NEW website is so fast that it should take you LESS than 30 minutes (unless you get sidetracked and start reading some of the training or looking for the other GIFT products!)  Yes, we actually have OVER 150 total items on this Snag the Flags Hunt.  You will find some in almost EVERY category.  Just look for the BOW on the product.  There is NO LIMIT on these products so you can get them for yourself, gifts, whatever!  Stock up at these LOW prices!

Let’s start SHOPPING!
1– Shop ALL Products:  EVERYTHING in our product line is listed here.  They are divided by the TYPE of PRODUCT.  If you are looking ONLY for Stickers, you can start here.  Let’s find the first item:
Click on SHOP ALL PRODUCTS (If you click on the title- the SUB-CATEGORIES will show in the middle.  If you click the + the list will show below the header.  Then click on STICKERS.  Then TOP SELLING STICKERS.  Click on TS1-Booking.  Scroll down and you’ll find PR10670B  “Want it Free” Stickers for only 25¢!  Add it to your cart!

HINT:  Look along the top of the center section, you’ll see what they call “breadcrumbs” like from Hansel and Gretel, these tell you what categories you went through to get where you are!  In the future I will use the > symbol instead of “then” over and over again to show you what categories to click on.

2- Click on STICKERS in the Breadcrumb line.  It will take you back to the STICKER CATEGORY.  Now click on SPP-Pen Pal Stickers.  Scroll down and you’ll find the LSPP6101  “Serious Full Time” Pen Pal Stickers for only 10¢!  . Add it to your cart. The Pen Pal stickers are also shown throughout the sticker categories, but customers are often looking for these specific type of stickers so we’ve put them in their own category.  We’ve done the same for the COMBO sheets.  See some of the deals there too!

3- Go to the TOP HEADER LINE and click on SHOP ALL PRODUCTS (this takes you to the same category as mentioned in #1- just a different way to get there.  Click on OTHER PRODUCTS.  You’ll see a LONG list of categories.  This is to help you find SPECIFIC Types of products.  Click on TC-Team Cards.  You’ll see across the top that there are 60 items in that Category. If you go to the bottom of the page, you’ll see that you can change it to show 50 items per page.  Do that then click OK.  Then you’ll be able to scroll down to the bottom.. (You might find a few other deals along the way!   The item you are looking for is TC7739GC My Comfort Zone CARD with envelope.  Or, you can click on the SORT BY and select Z to A.  It will then be among the first items you see for only 10¢!  Add it to your cart!

Now let’s approach the products from the KEYS direction:

4- In the CATEGORY LIST click Key 4: Sales>Key 4: Postcards.  You’ll see there are 27 items in this category.  You are looking for item PP40572CT — Brand New Catalog.  It is on page 2.  But you can scroll down to the bottom and click on 50 items then OK and all 27 items will show up on the ONE page.  Now remember, our website is FAST, but we also have TONS of graphics to load, so it may take a few seconds.  Then scroll down and there it is for only 50¢/pkg!  For the fun of it, click VIEW.  You’ll see a larger graphic and you can actually run your mouse over the graphic and it will enlarge it even more.  If you click on the graphic, it will show even bigger so you can actually read the text.   Another way to make it bigger is with newer versions of Windows you can hold down your CONTROL key and roll your SCROLL in your mouse and the items on the screen will get bigger or smaller. Be sure to see the KEY 2 Postcards for lots of the SALE deals.  Quantities are Limited so get them while you can!

While you are in PRODUCT VIEW let’s point out a few other features. 

If you click on MORE DETAILS the page will automatically scroll down to the TABS.  The contents of the first MORE INFO tab is automatically shown.  This gives you general usage of a product and exactly what the GRAPHIC or GRAPHIC and TEXT reads.
DATA SHEET TAB will tell you the regular price on products, what basic KEY info so we don’t have to repeat ourselves over and over again and PRODUCT DESCRIPTION information telling you sizes, how many per package etc.
COMMENTS TAB is where YOU can write a REVIEW on a product, or read what others have written.
INFO may or may not have additional information in it.
DOWNLOAD- If this tab shows that means there are FREE DOWNLOADS that go along with this product.  For example this is where TEMPLATES would be.
ACCESSORIES- If this tab show that means there is additional training.  If you are familiar with our IDEA OF THE WEEK FREE TRAINING that we offer, you know I give LOTS of training.  Each of those training ideas are given a PRODUCT SKU and that PRODUCT is attached to each of the products mentioned in that training under the ACCESSORIES TAB.  There may be SEVERAL different trainings mentioned under a product.  This saves me from repeating the training and allows YOU to see a more comprehensive training and other products that relate.

 We are done here, be sure to Click to ADD  the postcard to your cart!  (You’ll see the item float into your cart in the upper right.  If you are actually in VIEW of a product, you can then click the BACK BUTTON and you’ll go to exactly where you were.  If you are adding products from the listing pages, the item will just float into your cart and you’ll stay right where you are.  Or, you can just click on the next category you want to go to under categories in the LEFT column (or the breadcrumb links at the top of the page.)

5- Click on KEY 3: Attendance > Key 3: Stickers.  You are looking for PR30902 Invited Fun time out for 25¢.  There are 114  items so you can either click each page, or sort by product name or even price to get the lowest price at the top!  Add it to your cart.

6- Click on KEY 6 Recruit > Key 6: Trip Buttons.  This is where we have 70 different Buttons to encourage people to ask you where you are going on your company’s incentive trip.  This often leads to greater interest in your opportunity because they want to go to.  You are looking for B64332 Ask me where I’m going Button for only 25¢! (There is NO LIMIT on this item, it’s not part of the 12 but I wanted to tell you how to find it.  It is a generic button anyone can wear.  If we don’t have YOUR location, we will Make up your trip location for FREE as long as you purchase a minimum of 10.  Click on  KEY 6 Recruit > Key 6: Recruit  Buttons to find B60615 Full Time Pay Button for only 5¢!

7- Click Key 7: Motivation > Key 7: Other Products.  You’ll see there are 90+ products.  You are looking for BM62618  Love to have on team BOOKMARK for only 1¢.  In the “Other Products” you’ll see K-Packs (Money Saving Packs including selections of products) Erase Boards and so much more.  Check out the savings on the PACKS!

Now we’re going to deal with the SEARCH function of the website. 

It is COOL and FAST!  As you begin to type something into the search, a list of 10 products will come up and you can quickly click on the item you are looking for if it comes up in that list.  If it doesn’t click the actual SEARCH BUTTON then the complete list will show up in the center of the website.  It may be long depending on what you put in the search field.  HINT:  If you make it too many words you won’t get much but if you can think of a specific single word the list could be shorter.

8- Search for the word Opportunity and you’ll see that over 400 items come up.  But if you search for the work Preparation there are only a few.  .  the PR70572 Opportunity Preparation Stickers will come up for only 25¢.  Other items that are similar will come up too!
9- Search by item number.  Yes, if you know a specific product SKU, type it in and it will come up along with any products where that item number is mentioned.  One of the things we did in creating our new website was applying the KEY number as the first number of the item (after the letter) for EVERY PRODUCT.  Previously our PR stickers and Postcards printed in our office used a different numbering system.  So, if you are trying to find a product from a number you have on a product it should STILL come up because I’ve tried to include the OLD number in the product description.  So let’s search for PR165 which is You’re a Gem Stickers.  We added a 80 in front of the 165 because this is a RECOGNITION sticker.  So, when you search for PR65, PR80165 will come up for only 10¢.  Add it to your cart!
10- Search by word.  Search for the word SHOPPING.  You’ll see there are 109+ results.  You are looking for PR41026  Easy online shopping for only 25¢.  If you were to search for “online shopping” there would only be 6 results.  Add the sticker to your cart.
Now we’re going to deal with some of the SPECIAL FEATURES of our website.

11- Click Key Pack Club Info under Categories.   Our Key Pack Club is a great way to get TRAINING and PRODUCTS delivered to you each month.  It has LOTS of benefits.  Click on KEY PACK CLUB INFO.  You will see SUBCATEGORIES.  Those subcategories show the products that are included in the monthly keypacks.  You can click on them to see what’s in them.  Now, BELOW those categories are some actual products.  This is where you learn about the Key Pack Club and JOIN the club by adding that item to your cart.  Be sure to click the DOWNLOAD TAB and download the Key Pack Club info for all the details and BENEFITS of joining the key pack club.  As a member of the KPC you get an automatic 10% discount on EVERYTHING on our website and save an additional 20% on items mentioned in that month’s training.  You can save on shipping too by having items added to your Pack and sent with it each month.

12- Click on FREE TRAINING > T5-Customers > T5-2 — Is this how your checkout goes.  You’ll see the category header.  Then, below that is a list of all the products.  The first item (5-02 is the actual idea.)  When you click VIEW, you’ll be able to see the links to my BLOG where the actual TEXT of the training is shown.  Then there are links back to the category where ALL the products mentioned are listed.  You are actually in that category so if you scroll down you will see DS5737CD — Serving … drop order sign for only 5¢.  Add it to your cart.

13-  Click on FREE PARTY IDEAS > PI-5000 –General Party Ideas > PI-5001 — Mystery Hostess Parties.  This is a NEW feature we are starting.  We plan to give you all kinds of Party Ideas for General, Theme, Guys and Seasonal parties (hence the variety of category headers.)  Some of these were previously under the Free Training but we are moving them to this section so we can be more specific.

14: Tags and Company Specific.  We have plans to put products into the Company Specific Categories, but for now they aren’t there (because it will take a lot of time) so the EASIER way was to use TAGS.  Scroll down below the TESTIMONIALS in the left column and you’ll see TAGS.   As we develop party themes they will be in this TAG, however they will not be all together like the will be under the Free Party Ideas category.  You’ll be able to click the TAG that matches your company, there may be some overlap.  While you are looking be sure to add items you like to your Wish List.

15- Dollar Deals!  Each week we offer different DOLLAR Deals on products.  (Some may be Dollar OFF instead of actually cost of $1.00) Click on DOLLAR DEALS category.  We don’t have any items during this sale but each week we have from 10 to 20 Dollar Deals.

16- Idea of the WEEK!  Each week we offer specials and training.  This is the link you’ll click for the list.  You can also click IDEA OF THE WEEK in the banner across the top for the specials each week.  Just so you know, the PRODUCTS that explains the idea is what is shown in that category heading.  It has a link to the ACTUAL CATEGORY where all the products are listed.  Those categories are shown under FREE TRAINING and then the KEY area of the business they pertain to.  Remember, there is a T0- which is OVERALL TRAINING!  Click the IDEA OF THE WEEK category and add the “Make your Wish List” product (if you did) to have us include your FREE GIFT in your order!  Also this is where the 1¢ GIFT for filling out our Survey is.

The VOUCHER CODE to receive $4.99 OFF.  You’ll add it to your cart for $5.00 and then apply the voucher when you finalize your order.
