by Stacey Harmon | Sep 15, 2021 | O2 News, Promotions, Recognition
Imagine generating over 1,000 PV in your first month as an Origami Owl® Designer.
We love celebrating new O2 family members, and we have two New Designers who just achieved that OWL-mazing milestone!
Keep reading to celebrate the successes of all our New Designers who promoted to new recognition levels and achieved big things in their first six months with Origami Owl.
Meet Melissa Emschweiler, Designer
Melissa achieved 1,386 PV in her first month as a Designer!
From: York, Pennsylvania
Team Name: “I do not have a team name, but I like to call myself ladyandthefrenchie for my social media handles. It stems from my love for ©Disney and French Bulldogs. It’s a combination of (Disney’s) Lady and the Tramp and a nickname for French Bulldogs.”
Started O2 Journey: August 4, 2021
So, how did she generate over 1,000 PV in her first month as a Designer?
“I got started right away,” shares Melissa. “I made the decision instantly to become a Designer when I saw that there was a Disney Princess Collection being released. I LOVE Disney and everything that it stands for. I started sharing the products with my friends and family online right away. I have already developed a social media presence around Disney and have many friends across the country who I meet up with in the parks a couple of times a year. Sometimes, it’s just for a fun girls’ getaway, but mostly it’s for runDisney weekends. This gave me a good Customer base to begin with.”
Tips for New Designers
- Go Live. “I go live every morning in my VIP Facebook group before I leave for work to showcase the products I am wearing that day. I am a teacher and that is something easy for me to do even when I’m busy. I’m actually more productive when I’m on a busy, structured schedule.”
- Use Facebook Stories. “I started posting a Facebook story every day since I became a Designer. I never was one to use stories on a regular basis before, but I loved watching other people do it. I noticed when I started posting only about the jewelry that I didn’t get a lot of views on my stories. I could see that people would look at the first thing I posted, but then skip the rest of my story. Now, I post about my life more in my stories and every now and then post the jewelry in it. I want people to know that I’m not a pushy salesperson, but instead someone fun.”
- Don’t be Fearful. “You don’t have to be the sales type to do this. Smile and have fun. Talk to people about the product when they compliment your jewelry, but don’t talk too much. Listen to others and make them feel important. People will love to be around you when you’re caring and compassionate. I hope that when my Customers wear the jewelry they got from me that it will remind them of how I made them feel in the moment when they purchased it from me. Just like the Disney Princess Bangles say, ‘Dare to Dream and Have Kindness, Courage and Strength.’”
Meet Arleth Loya, Designer
Arleth achieved 1,025 PV in her first month as a Designer!
From: Sunland Park, New Mexico
Team Name: Dream Team
Started O2 Journey: August 6, 2021
So, how did she generate over 1,000 PV in her first month as a Designer?
“I thought of friends and family who would wear jewelry, and I reached out to them individually,” shares Arleth. “I didn’t add them all to a group because I feel like people in groups often feel embarrassed to engage with you. When you reach out privately to them, they are more comfortable to ask questions.”
Tips for New Designers
- “Wear the jewelry! This jewelry is very beautiful; it sells itself and more because it’s so customizable and can have a really special meaning for everyone.”
- “Set your sales goal and have a positive attitude.”
- “Reach out to EVERYONE on your contact list.”
