Things to remember:

1.) Products eligible for the Summer Event

The majority of products that will be on sale will be from Fall/Winter 2024 and older. There may be a few, but not many, Essential swatches and a few slow-selling Spring 2025 swatches on sale.

2.) JHilburn.com:

The Summer Event product will be merchandised online in the Sale section of .com only. 

3.) You will need to use JHilburn.com to sell Summer Event products:

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

4.) Quantities:

Event products are limited in quantity, so it is to your benefit to sell these 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 Event periods, when Stylists work efficiently with their time and use their digital tools – Style Boards, Shirt & Knit Configurators, social media posts, texts, emails, 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 their order for accuracy and offer them the “Three Made for Me” offer. Clients can not take advantage of the “Three Made for Me” offer if they check out themselves on J.Hilburn.com.
  • 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-priced items will increase your earnings.  Add a full-price item to 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 Summer Event launches today.  As one of my VIP Clients, I wanted to offer it to you first.  It runs from May 13–May 19, and 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 Summer Event goes public on Tuesday.  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.

Get the list of SKUs for the Summer Event:

Please make sure to continue checking the SKU list daily for the most up-to-date fabric availability. As the Summer Event progresses, certain fabrics will be removed from the list as they sell out. Checking the list daily ensures you always have the most current selection to present to your Clients. We also recommend that you access the Event SKUs through this link only and avoid saving a separate copy of the list. This will ensure you’re always viewing the most accurate and updated version of the list.
