Make a Difference in Africa!

And feel GREAT doing it! My goal in August is to be the consultant who generate the most $$$ for Kids Inspiring Kids http://www.kidsinspire.com - helping make a difference in the lives of women and children in the Banda Ghetto in Uganda!
YOU CAN HELP!!! Every purchase of our Shea Butter Soap - which is amazing by the way! - contributes to this campaign! And in return you get a beautiful, one of kind, handmade bangle bracelet, plus healthy skin of course!
Read below to learn more. Keep in mind, buying one bar, helps; but hosting a party of 10 friends and family members who each buy one...helps more!!! Plus you get rewarded for your party in numerous ways!!! (read my August Hostess blog entry for more details)

Outline of an Email Party

How to Run an Email Party

What does it look like?
Email Parties look like home parties - without the home!!!
The Consultant sends One Party email sent each morning to guests
My Email Contains:
1. Games: of Chance (bingo, lottery, keno etc); Treasure Hunt/Clue (give clues/hints about products and guests have to answer what it is etc.
2. Points Game
(I give points for asking product questions, asking bus. quest., buying products, hosting etc)
3. Yesterday's Winners
4. Yesterday's questions/answers
*basic recap of all mails recv'd)

*advantages*
*There is no travel required -
people participate at home, work, coffee house - wherever they are!
*There is no Time Constraint -
Guests can play over morning coffee, at lunch, in the evening - whenever they check their email
Previous guests have stated that they look forward to opening their mail to see if they won anything! Guests have days to browse catalogs, ask questions, and decide on purchases
*There is no space restraint -
You can fit as many people as you want on the internet (unlike your studio apt!)

The only real disadvantage is that you don't get to try product first - but Daisy Blue Naturals has a 30 day Money Back guarantee on everything!

How to set up and Run the Party

1. Hostess or Mystery Hostess?
this only matters on prizes and giveaways - who get's what

2. Use http://www.Evite.com to invite guests - invite everyone you or your hostess has in the address book!

3. Day of Party:
send Welcome to the Party email explaining rules
send 1st Party email
(game/s - I highly encourage using some sort of points game or treasure hunt...get the guests involved!)

*you will receive emails with questions - game answers etc - to keep it all straight I copy and paste these to a draft email as I get them!

4. 2nd and following days
Your Daily email will contain:
1st that day's game or challenge
yesterdays recap:
questions asked/answered
who signed up to host
(put it out there and then when parties over invite them to the next hosts party!)
Bonus winners etc!!!
I also throw a Top 3 - the people who have the point lead in a mystery hostess party!
Party Total

5. Day after the close of the party -
Thank everyone for a fun and successful party!!!
List all the winners throughout the party (sort of like a curtain call)
Mystery Hostess party - announce your winner!!!
Hostess - let everyone know her gifts and thank them for being such good friends and family!!!
The last round of questions/answers etc.
remind everyone that they will be receiving
invoices via PayPal, RME, Email or how ever else you decide and that payment is due by end of day (or whenever you choose)

After packages go out...I always send a follow up Thank You card to let them know the products have shipped - to thank them once again - and invite them to host their own party.

About 2 weeks later follow up with a call (or email if no phone #) to see how they like their products - invite again to host/consider a new business!!!

Product Hints and Tips

Daisy Blue Product Hints, Tips, and Alternative Uses
Alphabetical - New Entries Marked *NEW*

Daisy Breeze Laundry Soap
One of our most versatile products - this soap can really help simplify your spring cleaning!!!
Safe for surfaces and your family!
Try these recipes:

· Soft Scrub:
- ½ cup baking soda
- Mix with Daisy breeze Laundry Soap (frosting-like consistency)
- Add 5 drops Bulgarian Lavender Oil or Australian Tea Tree Oil (optional)

· Household Cleaner:
- Fill spritzer bottle with water
- 1Tbs Daisy Breeze Laundry Soap
- 2 drops Australian Tea Tree (Optional - for anti-bacterial cleaner)
- ¼ cup vinegar (optional)

· Liquid hand soap. It works great when you all just a little bit of water to thin it slightly.

· Floor cleaner - wood and linoleum
Dilute in water and mop away! I like the flat terry cloth type mops.

· Carpet cleaner - Add some lemon essential oil if it is a light colored carpet as lemon oil whitens

· Stain remover - Pour it directly on stains before washing, rub in and let sit for a few minutes.

Car Wash - It removes bugs and road tar without leaving a film. Also gentle on the hands.

Consider how many chemical based products you could eliminate, the money you'd save and the simpler your chores could be with just one bottle of Daisy Breeze Laundry Soap !!!!

*NEW* Mineral Make-Up
  • Mix normal shade or one shade lighter with a very small amount of Rejuvenate Cream for a concealer/eye cream combo!
  • Use the mahogany as a bronzer for light to medium skin tones. Use the Bronzer on top of normal foundation color.
Sleep Easy Spray
  • Spray on skin and clothing for a mosquito repellent
Soap
  • Always use a Soap Dish that keeps soap dry and away from water.
  • Cutting your soap in thirds will make your soap last even longer! Store the rest in the box. Our soap gets better with age!
  • Rosemary Mint bar soap can be used as a shampoo.
  • Every purchase of Shea Butter Bar - contributes to Kids Inspiring Kids. A charitable organization helping the children in Uganda!
*NEW* Tea Tree and Passion Flower Toner
  • Spray on hair when you get out of the shower - for a great detangler
