During the holiday season, most people are spending and spending and spending even more. They are buying gifts for those they love. Whether it is a gift for a friend, family member, or even an enemy (yes, people do buy gifts for their enemies), huge numbers of people are spending large amounts of money both online and offline to be able to give the perfect gifts.

For those in the Direct Selling Industry (aka network marketing, mlm, etc.), many marketers are making a huge mistake by not tapping into the cash flow stream of the holiday shopping season. What is worse are some marketers are scrambling to try and figure out what new market they can tap into and are inadvertently missing out on the business sales in their own backyard.

During the holiday, or even the weeks leading up to it, is not the time to start thinking about breaking into a new market. Nor is it the time to sit idle and wish or hope for business success. The fact is the holiday shopping season can bring prosperity and joy to anyone in this industry that is willing to take action in putting forth the effort to reach out to their prospects and customers.

In this article, we will share with you, the starting point for marketing your business throughout the holiday season. These are practical tips and advice for tapping into your existing market for the holiday season.

A little known secret you need to know is when you look to your own backyard (your local market), you will discover unlimited possibilities for taking home your share of the holiday shopping boom.

It’s the people (your friends, family, relatives, strangers, and even past customers and prospects) in your local market that you already have connections with that will be the most responsive to your recommendations and ideas. So let’s take a look at how you can prime the pump for those gift-giving dollars.

TIP – Remember to think outside the gift box.

We don’t just make money from gift purchases during the holidays. There are millions of related dollars spent on:

* Food, Food and more Food
* Travel and Entertainment
* Home Holiday Decor (Inside and Out)
* Holiday Cards and Gift Wrap
* Holiday Parties

Think of your unique selling position. What makes you unique and different compared to other marketers and their companies? Look at what niche areas you serve and what products or services you offer.

TIP – Take about 10 minutes and write down as many things you could market. Do not prejudge your thoughts. Make sure you write whatever comes to your mind. Then shorten your list to three products or services you can focus on.

One question I get asked quite often by marketers is, “Who will I market to?” Unfortunately, the possibilities are unlimited. The problem with unlimited possibilities is the fact most marketers get tripped up and become overwhelmed when they are faced with too many possibilities to choose from. This causes them to become blind to the true potential. The result is they end up doing nothing!

The secret strategy to unlock this potential for you is consistent action. Not just any action, but the action that puts you in front of the people most likely to buy. The fact is people are spending money and they will either spend it in your store or at the store of someone else. So you have a decision to make and if you truly want to tap into this holiday shopping boom, you know what that decision will be.

Since the foundational key to sales for every business (both online and offline) is in having a strong list of prospects and customers, you must begin examining your list in-depth to identify possible goldmine spots within your list for holiday sales. Look at who your customers are, how many people are on your list, as well as what the most common theme of wants and needs have been expressed by those on your list.

The fact is if you have been taking action in your business throughout the year, you have a growing list. I am sure you realize there is both good and bad on this list. The good are your repeat customers. This is where you want to focus your marketing effort.

TIP – Santa puts a priority focus on the list. Shouldn’t you?

Now is the time to begin capitalizing on the biggest ecommerce season of the year. Yes, even if you are building your business locally, you should be capitalizing on ecommerce. Will you be able to put your list to work for you and take advantage of holiday shopping dollars? To accomplish such a task, think strategically.

If you are like me in the marketplace, you have spent months and thousands of hours and dollars to build up your list. And the drips of information you have poured on your prospects and customers are probably a far cry from holiday shopping. The key ingredient to capitalizing and earning some phenomenal commissions on holiday gifts will depend a great deal on the relationship you have established and built with your prospects and customers.

TIP – Even if your list is primarily cold, it is never too late to start warming up your list.

Hopefully you have been following up consistently and not fouling up. Follow up throughout the year allows you to connect with your prospect. Not just on a business level but also on a personal level.

The fact is the Direct Selling Industry is built heavily on relationships. You are representing your company for one main reason, which is to establish and nurture relationships with your prospects. It pays to get to know your customers and let your customers catch a glimpse of the human behind the business.

TIP – Make sure you focus on establishing and nurturing relationships with your prospects and customers consistently throughout the year, not just during the holiday.

You don’t have to go overboard and share the emotional roller coaster of your life with everyone, but you do need to share occasional stories from your home life. A family vacation photo, a short story about how quickly your daughter learned to ride her new bike or how Impatient, the family dog, taught you a lesson in patience; these are all great little bites of life that will help your prospects and customers feel like they are getting to know you.

The secret to tapping into the holiday shopping boom is in your list. You must nurture this list and that begins now. Even if you have a small cold list, you can begin today to grow and nurture that list so next holiday season you break your company sales records. Make a commitment and make it happen.

Which got me thinking about how difficult it was for me and some of the fellow graphic design students I studied with to get a job in the design industry back in 1999 (yes that long ago!) straight out of design college. I snapped up a job with a Central London design agency in Soho within 2 weeks of leaving college but looking back it wasn’t really the right job for me then. Though just 13 months later I changed positions and worked for a great design agency based in London Bridge and learned a huge amount as well as working on lots of different types of projects as a designer.

Anyway competition was fierce then BUT the amount of graphic design and other design courses available in art colleges and universities up and down the college has grown hugely since then.

So here are a few tips on (like Adam asked) “how to get into the UK Design industry”

The Portfolio:
Having a great design portfolio is a must. To be honest your design portfolio is the most important thing on this list, its what you’ll mainly be judged on. It must be well presented and include at least 6 or more design projects. Think about the kind of work the agency your applying to does and try to tailor your portfolio towards that. For example if they specialise in corporate identity and branding work try to include work of this kind.

Be ready to talk about your design work, what inspired you, why you approached the project in the way you did, even choice of typeface, colours, imagery etc. Show them some of your sketchs and development work, some agencies what to see your scribbles more than the finished work as it shows your design process and how you think!

Before taking your portfolio along to job interviews, make sure you show it to a people (tutors, other design students) talk them through it, get them to ask you questions about your design work and respond with suitable answers. This will get you used to talking people through your portfolio, making you a more prepared for the interview.

Work Experience:
Offer to do some work experience with a design company who’s work you really admire (for free if you have to!), even if its just a week then spend that week wowing them, making the tea, producing great work, take an interest in everything relating to that design company. It is a good way to get your foot in the door but also don’t be too pushy or cocky, you might think your a great designer but remember there is a big difference between design college and the real world!

If the company really like you during your work experience they might offer you a full time job!

Finding Work:
Send your portfolio as a PDF etc to as many design companies (that your interested in) as possible, then after a few days give them a quick call to check they have received it.

Another alternative and one that worked for me is to approach a design recruitment agency. I contacted Major Players (there are many others!) when looking for a new graphic design position. They interviewed me and I took them through my portfolio and skills set, based on this they then contacted me when suitable jobs became available. This worked very well as they got me a new job within 2 weeks.

Dress code:
There isn’t one as such. Wear what your comfortable in but also look like you have made some sort of effort! That said I wouldn’t recommend turning up in a suit! Remember what you wear can be seen as a reflection of yourself and your design style or preferences.

Behaviour:
Be yourself, be calm and open to discussing your work and the work of the design agency. Remember to ask questions about what work they produce and what your role would be. One thing I found useful was to ask if someone could take you around the studio, afterall that is where you’ll be working if you get the job and you need to see what sort of environment you’ll be working in. It also easier to ask questions as you move around and see how they work.

Research:
Remember to do some research on the company that is interviewing you, as they are likely to ask you what made you apply for a job with them, what sort of work do they produce, what awards have they won (if any), why do you want to work for them in particular?

Keep trying:
Above all keep trying and keep looking at ways to improve your portfolio. If you go for an interview and they don’t give you a job, don’t worry, your work just might not be suitable for that particular design agency.

So hope this has helped, good luck!
