    1. CV at 75% on sale items thru December 16th
    2. Marketing will begin to all Clients
    3. The homepage will reflect the Winter Event
    Things to remember:

    1.) Products on Sale

    The majority of products that will be on sale will be from Spring/Summer 2022 and older. There may be a few, but not many, Essential swatches and a few slow-selling Fall 2022 swatches on sale

    2.) jhilburn.com:

    The Winter Event product will be merchandised online in the Sale section of .com only (the sale product will not be displayed in the category as well).

    3.) You will need to use .com to sell sale products:

    You will have some fabric swatches for sale products, but most likely not all since there are previous season fabric swatches in this sale. This means that you will need to be familiar with jhilburn.com to sell Clients products that are on sale. 

    4.) Quantities:

    Products on sale are limited in quantity, so it is to your benefit to sell sale products on December 1st while quantities are available. Enter your orders when you take them. Don’t wait, as supply may run out.

    5.) Work Digitally

    We have seen the best success during Sale periods, when Stylists work efficiently with their time and use their digital tools – virtual assistant, text, email, virtual appointments, etc. 

    Download the list of SKUs here for the Winter Event:

    This download is an Excel sheet. It will open in Microsoft Excel or Numbers.
