Here
is how it can work for you:
- You Plan
your meeting including, at the larger meetings, having one of your team
available to sit at a display table with the books to answer
questions and sell them.
- You Order
either a 10 pack or a 25 pack of books at the regular price (20% or
30% discount)
and we will add in some items to help you at no extra charge.
To help you judge how many our experience suggests about half the folks
at a meeting will want books.
- Mark
on the “ordering instructions” as you place the order that the order is an IPC
Meeting Kit. Give your name, IPC number, contact phone number
and email (some use their
www.myDoterra.com/xxx. This
is the information that will go on the personalized labels we
send you.
- We
Ship you:
- The books ordered
- An 10” x 12”poster to
place on the sales table
- A set of talking points
so you can speak of the book at the meeting
- Stick on labels with
your info that can be placed on books sold
- Hand-out cards for
those that choose not to purchase the books at the meeting
but may have interest later.
- You have your meeting;
build interest, sign-up down-liners and interest new
customers. Then build their confidence, knowledge and
sustain their interest by sending them home with the book.
You may either give the book away, sell at the discounted price
or sell at the full retail price*. This choice is yours.
- You place your personal
IPC stick-on label on the inside cover
of the books sold so those that attended your meeting have the
book as your personal business card.
The
advantages for you are:
- People attending their
meetings get a quality reminder of the value of doTerra
Essential Oils as they leave the meeting.
- By placing your personal
sticker on the book it becomes a great ‘business card’ in the
hands of those with the greatest interest at the meeting.
- The books gives you a great
‘call back’ subject for re-contacting those that attended the
meeting. “Did you get a chance to read some in the book?” “Do
you have any questions?” etc.
- Give books to those you
feel are ‘golden’ down-liners, especially those that might not
be able to attend the meeting.
-
A
few dollars may be made selling the books at the retail price.
*The
IPC is responsible for state sales tax for the state the books are
sold in. This means that you should collect the local sales
tax based on whatever price you charge for the books.
Obviously, if you give them away there is no sales tax.
Here are some considerations:
-
In
Utah, and probably other states, if you have less than 2 events
a year (like a garage sale or a tupperware meeting) it is
considered an "isolated event" and you are not required to
collect sales tax.
-
If
you do not have a tax license but someone you know does you can
have them purchase the books and then sell them as a
representative of that business and let them report the sales.
The primary thing is the state gets their tax money.
-
Note:
for IPCs in the state of Idaho. Since Essential Oils Books
is an Internet business located in Idaho we do not charge sales
tax on orders shipped out of Idaho, but we do charge sales tax
for orders in Idaho. Therefore books purchased in Idaho
have already paid sales tax on the discounted price.
