Hope Shells

After the long wait, we finally have the Miche Hope shells in both Max and Classic available for purchase! Please feel free to order your Hope shells now!

Background InfoThe new Miche Max and Classic “Hope” shell is a proud addition to Miche Bag Canada. We believe that it is a shell of true hope and inspiration to every person who views it. Miche Bag Canada will be donating $5.00 from each Hope shell that is purchased to the Childhood Cancer Foundation, which focuses on cancer research, support and/or families of child cancer patients. The Canadian Hope shells do not have the pink ribbon on them as we are supporting the CCF, please inform your clients that their Hope shells will not have the bows if they plan on purchasing.

Now & In The FutureWe have already donated $6450 to the Childhood Cancer Foundation equaling to 1,290 shells sold across Canada! We plan to double our number for the next cheque we will be presenting the Childhood Cancer Foundation in September!

What’s your

Sales Pitch?

Guest List Memory JoggerAre you having trouble trying to figure out who you should invite to your next party? We’ve made it easy for you! Please check out the attached file called “GLMJogger” to view a new tool we’ve acquired for you. Fill out the attached sheet so you can remember who you should contact for future parties or orders.

Wishlist If there are many shells on your clients list and they are not sure which ones they would like to purchase first, make a list here of their favorites. With new products being released monthly, our product line is continually evolving, hand out these out to your clients so they may keep track of the shells that they want. File is attached to email.

Scenario:Someone in the grocery store says, “I like your bag?”

What you say next will determine whether that person becomes a future client or walks away. If your response is “Thank you, it’s a Miche”, chances are the conversation will end right there with them replying, “It’s nice.” Some women may not know what “a Miche” is and think that you are just brand “name-dropping” instead try changing your response to “Thanks, it’s one of those bags that you can change the outer cover” and at the same time do the demonstration of how it works. This will open up the lines of communication, and you will find that more often then not your future client will be full of ques-tions.

Here are some examples of questions they may ask you:“Where did you get that?”“How much is it?”“What other covers are available?”

Once their questions have been answered, feel free to tell them that it’s a Miche Bag and about the brand!

Miche Referral ProgramWe would like to congratulate Maureen, one of our Home Party Representatives in the Alberta area for being the second HPR to reach the bonus five per cent mark for recruiting five remarkable new HPR’s!

For anyone who doesn’t know or has forgotten, here is a refresher for of our Miche Home Party Referral program! Here at Miche Bag we want to reward our representatives when they help expand the Miche brand! For every person that you sign up to become a Home Party Representative (HPR) and is an active HPR, you will receive $100. When you sign up five (5) party reps you will then have received $500 and your commission will increase to 25 per cent for your own parties. To maintain your increased commission of 25 per cent, your referred HPRs have to remain active and we will review their files regularly to ensure that you still qualify. If any of your referred HPRs drop out you will have to refer more reps (equaling to five reps) in order to again receive your initiative.

Please Note: Soon to be retired shells have no specific amount of time that they will retire in. It will depend on the popularity of the shell and season on how long a limited quantity will last. Sometimes shells retire over night- it happens! We do our best to notify our HPR’s of limited quantities left, but sometimes like with the Black Tiffany & Crystal, we had sufficient stock and then it was gone by popular demand.

Madelynn- Temporarily out of stock until July 20, 2010

Retired shells mean that we no longer have them in stock nor will we receive them again without special promotion.

Winner’s Circle

After my daughter attended a Miche home party in February, she immediately fell in love with all the shells and the Miche concept, and told me,” Mom, you’ll love Miche!” Because we live four and a half hours apart, shehad to phone me about the purses and direct me to the website, but that didn’t do it. However, the minute I saw the purses in real, I knew she was right. I loved Miche and became an HPR in April.

Ester, Manitoba

Since I’m retired, I have time to travel and do a week of home parties in other communities. I enjoy meeting lots of new people. Scheduling home parties in the distant towns where my grandchildren live provides an extra bonus. I lovematching my Miche to my outfits and I take it everywhere I go. I love showing off my purse and telling people how it works. My daughter said, “Mom, it’s more than a purse, it’s a fashion piece”. I’m sure glad she introduced me to Miche!
