....Real World MLM Marketing Tips....
Here's another real world example of how some folks market their MLM business AND products/services:Our area has an event called a "Homearama" annually every fall. For this event select builders in the area construct a number of houses at a pre-determined site (usually a new or nearly new development) for the purpose of "showing" new construction methods, designs, landscaping, interior decorating, trends, floor plans, gadgets, etc. They also showcase the homes for sale and also the area the homes are built in. There are about 5 cities which alternate hosting this event. The Homearama is a huge event that all the surrounding communities look forward to every year.....and draws 1,000's of visitors over about a 1 week time period.
This is a great opportunity to "reach" the public with a targeted campaign if you plan well. just imagine the networking possibilities.For example I've seen the following:1. The entrance to the area where the home tours start goes through a long series of "tents" lined with booths populated by various companies and products. You HAVE to walk through this area to get to the homes....and again when you leave. Can you say captive audience?I've seen a couple groups set up booths in this area offering their products or services (signs, banners, brochures, business cards, etc.).
They also have a raffle or contest where some lucky visitor can win free products or services. The typical fill out an entry form with contact info & drop it in a box....with the drawing held the last day (not required to be present). What's this do?First it gains visibilty....community branding. A few sales directly and lots of interested folks picking up "information" and/or samples. And of course lots of coversations to follow-up on.Second, the contest/raffle creates a list of potential contacts for follow-up via the entry forms (name, address, phone number, email).Note: for this to be successful you'd need to have a dedicated team of local distributors willing to man the booth and talk with folks during the events open hours.
Also they should have a clear plan for following up with any contacts made.2. Some folks have even been able to have their products displayed in the homes themselves. For example how about Mia Bella candles attractively shown in the Master bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, or formal dining room? How about Noni on the kitchen counter.... or Annasa on the bathroom vanity....or WorldVerge on the computer screen....or, well you get the idea.Also, not just the products/services are shown. You also display a business card rack so interested vistors can "find out more".3.
Here's one that's not so obvious....relationshipping with other vendors, real estate agents, concessionaires, and builders who participate in the event. Your potential contacts aren't limited just to the "visiting" public. Network with the event organizers & participants too. There's a lot of possibilities with an event like this. In my area it's called Homearama.
In other areas it's Showcase of Homes or something similar.I suggest you look into it and see if you can take advantage of the possibilities yourself..
Scented Candles
Traditionally, candles were used as a source of light. In modern times, due to availability of abundant electricity, candles are no longer in great demand. Candles are now used for their aesthetic value. Scented candles create a striking visual effect and they gives off a pleasant aroma when lit. They also help to create a comfortable and cozy ambiance.
Many candles are made from a selection of special wax blends that consume a predetermined amount of fragrant oils.
The candles do not absorb extra oil. Some candles are designed to retain added oil and in turn emit stronger aromas when burned. A few candle manufacturers are attempting to produce super-scented candles.
In modern times, scented candles are often used in aromatherapy. A number of scented candles turn to oil as they burn, so it is advisable to burn them in glass containers or special holders.
The most modern variety of scented candle burns as a liquid, without dripping wax or releasing...

Wholesale Candles
Candles are not just considered as sources of light, but they have come a long way gaining importance. Candles are now widely used for their aromatic and tantalizing fragrances and flavors. Candles are made of wax and different kinds of aromatic oils are used for the fragrance.
Initially candles were made of bee-wax, which was extracted from the honey combs of bees. Though they developed lots of candles with good quality, they let out pungent smell and the flame was not clear. Paraffin wax and other vegetable waxes are used to make candles.
These waxes were initially very soft and had a very low melting point so a chemical called strearic acid was added to paraffin wax to make it hard and durable. Wholesale candles are made of different varieties of wax like honey well, crafters choice, cargill or soy.
Cylindrical unscented candles are made by a machine invented by Joseph Morgan in 1834. Nowadays, wholesale candles are developed handmade in various metal...
