Down to Earth book party

I consider myself to be an imaginative and creative woman - but no matter how creative you are, there are always limits. If you only think alone. Have you heard the term „flock intelligence“? It means that a flock of birds together makes smarter decisions and comes up with better ideas than the smartest bird alone.
What frustrates me sometimes is that we have produced a lot of great things in the meantime - but we don't have the marketing power or the budget to publicise them properly. That's so frustrating - the books, impulse booklets and quadros could inspire and help so many more people - if they knew about them!
A few weeks ago, I simply asked my customers what ideas they had to solve the dilemma of „great books - too little known“.
We came up with lots of good ideas that we will gradually implement. The one I liked best came from Kathi (and Sybille, who had a similar idea).
Kathi wrote:
„We had small group yesterday (our word for house group :)) and chose a thought-provoking topic from one of your Quadros as the evening's theme. Three new people in our small group didn't know Quadro/Down to Earth. So I spontaneously jumped into my room and pulled all the Quadros and books and booklets from my shelf that I have from you.
Then I gave a little introduction to the products, told them about you and the publisher. A friend was leafing through one or other of the Quadros and then said to herself, “I think I'm a new customer!“ I had to laugh and said: „How funny, now I've done something like a Tupperware evening for Kerstin's Quadros without even thinking about it!“ And when I read your request, I thought: “Why not do something like this in a planned and structured way?"
Great idea. And the best thing is: you can join in.
We invite you / ask you to organise a „Down to Earth book party“ in your area and introduce people to our products:
- with friends
- with colleagues
- in the association
- in the community
- at the house group
It doesn't have to be a huge party (like a whole Tupperware party). A few minutes in a church service, at a home group, during a coffee break at work or in a club might be enough.
Send me an e-mail and order your book package.
Included are:
- The 4 new simple and straightforward books
- Charity calendar 2012
- 365 days of beSWINGt living Calendar
- Quadros: work organisation, self-coaching, joie de vivre, learning to forgive
- Impulse booklets: Values get well soon, symbols, God's promises, crises
- I Set of impulse cards
- 20 postcards
- 1 thank you gift for the host/hostess as a thank you for your commitment
- Flyer and order form to pass on.
Total value: Over 120 euros
PRICE: Only 99 Euro and NO shipping costs.
[If you want, you can also order more items, but of course shipping will still be free].
You have three weeks to pay the invoice. During this time you can sell the items. If you actually have something left over, you can use it as a Christmas present, for example.
I would be delighted if many of you would organise a large or small Down to Earth book party. The best thing would be if you could tell me how you did it...because the ideas that a swarm of people develop are far more and better than those that a single person can come up with.
Oh yes - other good ideas are of course very welcome.
Another tip: I'll be in Eberswalde on 9 November (women's breakfast on the subject of swing) and on 11 November in the evening at Aglow in Wupptertal. There I'll be talking about forgiveness.
For the generous among us:
„Exposing books“ is always a good idea - you wrap a book nicely (sturdy gift bag, parcel), attach a note (For you!) and „expose“ it: On the train or bus, on a sheltered park bench, in a changing room, in a café...
This works well with books that you have read with profit and now want to pass on, but don't know to whom (the Holy Spirit already knows that (-; ). Or as an advertising campaign!
