Things to remember:

1.) Products eligible for the Winter Event

The majority of products that will be on sale will be from Spring/Summer 2024 and older. There may be a few, but not many, Essential 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 JHilburn.com to sell Winter Event 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 as soon as possible 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 – Style Boards (in Green Room App or Green Room website), Shirt & Knit Configurators, Custom-Made Social, text, email, virtual appointments, etc. 

BEST PRACTICES, & TIPS  

  • Double-check your work, measure twice!
  • Verify fit and measurements for Clients who have not ordered in over 1 year.  
  • You want to set the expectation with your Clients that some fabrics may sell out.  
  • Eliminate old profiles to minimize any mistakes. 
  • Suggest your Client send the order to you versus checking out themselves so you can review the order for best results. 
  • Use the favorites section of .com to work with your Clients virtually.
  • Identify which of your Clients likes to take advantage of our “sale” events and send them a text to notify them that the Private Event has begun. 

STRATEGIES 

  • Have an upsell item/strategy.  This is a great time to use add-on items:  belts, socks, scarves, etc., to build your order value.   
  • Use a blended approach.  Blending in full-price items will increase your earnings.  Add a full-price item onto the style board you suggest for them.  Give them Style Boards so they “buy the look”.  
  • Value proposition: Show them how to extend their wardrobe. Example:  2 pants, 2 shirts & 2 knits will mix & match to create X number of looks. 
  • If you are a New Stylist: build a list of 25 to reach out to….think of guys who might be more price-sensitive.
  • TEXT first thing in the morning: “Hi XXX, my Private Winter Event launches today.  As one of my VIP Clients, I wanted to offer it to you first.  It runs from November 25–November 30 and it is up to 40% off.  Do you want in??  Let me know ASAP so I can get you the details.” 
  • A few days later, send another text to those that haven’t responded yet:  “Hi XXX, I didn’t want you to miss out.  The Winter Event goes public on Sunday.  Do you want in before the word is out to everyone?  I can help you via text, email, zoom, or style boards.” 
  • Make it easy for your Clients. If you have time, put some things in your Clients’ favorites (both sale and full price) and send them a link to their closet.
