How to get started with Arbonne...

[Kathe]

You have 2 options as a business owner:

SIGNING UP

1. Sign up as a regular consultant. This is easy as it is done online in 5 minutes. To do this go to Arbonne Skin Care, Nutrition, Anti-aging & Hormone Balancing Products and click on the link to sign up. Once you sign up you are then taken to the ordering section. (See below for ordering options)

2. Sign up as a business. This will enable you to purchase your products as a business sales tax exempt. This involves filling out some paperwork and faxing it into Arbonne proving that you are a legitimate business entity and entitled to tax exemption. The paperwork takes approximately 5 - 7 days to process and then you will be given your ID and pin number for ordering. If you want to go this route, send me an email at absolutetanspa@sbcglobal.net and I will email you the forms you will need.

YOUR FIRST ORDER

When placing your first order here are the options:

1. Place a $150 order. You will get 35% off plus you will be entitled to the RE9 body serum/lotion set (feet picture) for $25 (normally $94). Plus you get to choose any single item up to $100 free.

2. Place a $250 order. You will get 35% off plus you will be entitled to the RE9 body serum/lotion set for $25. Plus choose any item up to $100 free. Plus choose an additional $100 of products for $20 (80% discount).

3. New consultants are entitled to an RSVP (right start value pack). You choose $700 in products for $350. Plus you can get the RE9 body set for $25 and pick out an additional item up to $100 for free.

ADDITIONAL ORDERS

After you place your first order I recommend placing all future orders in $250 increments. This will give you your best discount and entitle you to extra products at even deeper discounts.

For every $250 your order you get your 35% discount then you are entitled to an additional $100 for $20. That is a 52% discount even before taking advantage of the special offers.

Note: You will also be entitled to one RSVP2. Once you do your first RSVP and then purchase an additional $650 (with 35% discount = 422.50) you will then be eligible for a 2nd RSVP.

SHOPPING CART

Arbonne shop online is very easy to use. You can either do quick shop where it shows the complete list of products or the regular shopping. Once you get into the shopping cart be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page. This is where it shows all of your special deals and discounts. Click on them all just to see what they are. Play around with it a bit.

If you get busy and it logs out when you log back in all of your items will still be in your shopping cart.

If you have any additional questions, just ask and I'll answer.

Kathe,
That additional $100 for $20. What does that show up as? I'm playing around with my cart now trying to figure out my n ext order

[Kathe]

It's at the bottom of the shopping cart Meagan. You will see host gift and host special. The host gift is the RE9 body set for $25 and the host special is the $100 for $20.

Maybe you'll want to answer in a new thread or here, but I know these products will appeal alot to certain demographics more than others. What products do you feel are benefical or would do well with the 18-22 crowd? This is probably 98% of my market here. They are obviously not as concerned about their health as much (we all thought we'd live forever once) and also on average more $ focused. We hope to expand our market in the next year, but for now we are focusing on renovation and getting ready for our August rush of college kids. Thanks

I'll take that to a new thread!!

Ok been slacking and have not filled out the forms, but my brother has been in town and I'm helping him find a house. Anyway enough excuses, I am not putting it off longer. I was wondering on the forms. I have the Business Entity Form, the sales tax exemption form, and the StartNow Independant Consultant App. Quick Question on the app, there is a now you are in business kit. Is this required? I know it's $29. If so, I can put in an order now for some things but how do I do it since it says to attach the order to the app? Thanks

[Kathe]

Since you are signing up on the business side you need to fax in all of the business forms first. Once those are processed (about a week) then they will give you your ID and pin and you'll be able to order online after that. Just check the $29 box for now, no order attached.

Let me know as soon as you fax it in so I can follow up and be sure they received it ok.
