Once I mailed 40 of the beauty books to new homeowners in my zip code area offering them a Welcome to Your New Home gift if they booked a facial to try products (I found their names and address in the newspaperits public knowledge when real estate is transacted). That cost $0.52 each book to mail and all I got was a $12 order for an Extra Emollient Night Cream. Overall in general, of the few orders I did get, I had to place a $180 because I didnt have one or two small items in inventory, and nobody to trade with.
I got so desperate for customers and to sell/move my inventory that once I wrote down all the spammer emails filling my mailbox, (you know how we all get spammed in our email) well, I spammed them right back with a really beautiful, nice, colorful pretty email about MK, with my website listed so they could order products. I got blasted by 2 of the spammers saying dont ever send us this stuff again. One of them even threatened to turn me in to the authorities. So I spammed the spammers with my Mary Kay business and I got blasted by the spammers because they didnt want any MK emails. Darn-it all, I was just trying to get new customers and sell some product!!
