Sales!
I had my second party on Friday, which was actually part 2 of a party I had a few weeks ago at my hostess' office. We put all the sales together after Friday's party, and I had over $1400 in sales! Yay! I also scheduled another party in January, and a woman wants to get together with her coworkers tomorrow and will hopefully schedule a party in December. I've got a party the first week of December as well. I really hope these parties will give me more leads for more parties, and I will soon reach my goal of 1 party a week.
I really hope to soon start making a profit, because it seems like every time I make a sale, I end up buying more inventory with the money I make. The hardest part is figuring out what to order - what styles, what colors. And it never fails - if a bag comes in 6 colors and I have it in 5 of them, someone wants that bag in the one color I don't have and I have to order it.
And I hope more people in my city go to these parties - my friend who has had these parties lives an hour away, and all her friends live around there. Fortunately, her sister in law lives where I live, and she is the one who wants to have a party in December - if I can get sales leads from her and be able to stay in town, I won't have to spend so much $$$ on gas to get to the parties!
Okay, I need to enter my sales into the Beijo extranet. And then start working on a Thanksgiving menu. Thanksgiving is coming so early this year!
