The Mint Jeweleps

Posts Tagged ‘Style Help’

Dawn Howe a Mint Jewelep in Mobile, Alabama found a great solution for our customers who want to wear our fabulous statement earrings but can’t because of ripped or stretched earlobes.  The product is called Lobe Wonder.  Click on the name and you will be taken to an Amazon.com site where you can purchase them.  Notice this site is offering 4 boxes of 60 each for $20.38 so you will be able to share with other stylists on your team.  I chose this site because they received 5 out of 5 stars in the their review and some of the others were as low as 2 stars.  Basically they are a round plastic disc with a hole in the middle and they stick to the back of the earlobe.  The earring is inserted in the hole in disc and holds it in the correct spot with no pulling on the hole.

How to use them to boost sales:  Have the Lobe Wonder patches at your trunk shows and just mention them to the guests and if someone seems interested let them try one to see how it works.  Then tell them if they order a pair of statement earrings you will give them a sheet of the patches to take home with them.  Make the presentation cute and be sure to include the web site address where they can purchase their own.  Now that’s what I call outstanding customer service.

Thanks for sharing Dawn!

I found a great article on this subject online.  We all want feel professional and knowledgeable at our trunk shows and knowing how to help a customer choose the right earrings is a great way to do it.  Knowing and using this kind of information establishes you as an “expert” stylist and sets you apart from other Stella & Dot stylist.  

You still want to keep your shows fun, light, easy, and breezy  - never coming across as a know-it-all, but as a stylin’, helpful, and happenin’ Stella & Dot stylist.  Presenting yourself in this fun, happenin’, hip, professional way you will see bookings increase.  Why wouldn’t a woman want her friends to benefit from all your knowledge on style?

Click Here to go directly to the article.  Start arming yourself with info that makes you as valuable as your jewelry.  Your customers will feel like they have hit the jackpot when they attend one of your shows and will be more likely to schedule one of their own.  I printed it out and have it my “style” file for future reference.

Let me know if you like this kind of info and I’ll post more.  I want the Mint Jeweleps to be known “THE” team in Stella & Dot and I think knowing this kind of info helps us do that.
