• Utilise the Healthy Starter Pack and Lifestyle Analysis

“I’m a personal trainer, and for every client who signs up for a 3-week course, I recommend the Lifestyle Analysis and Healthy Starter Pack. My clients are so happy with the results that they come back to me for more. Every 3 months, I sign up another Healthy Starter Pack for ongoing support!”
– Dale, Staffordshire

The Healthy Starter Pack and Lifestyle Analysis are excellent tools to help clients kickstart their wellness journey. By incorporating these products into your offerings, you create a routine for clients that brings them back regularly for follow-ups and product refills.

• Learn to Focus & Prioritise

“Owning a busy gym and being a single father to two young children is tough! I learned to prioritise by focusing 100% on whatever I am doing, without distractions. It makes my tasks quicker and better.”
– Simon, Dunstable

Running a business requires focus, especially if you’re balancing multiple responsibilities. By setting aside dedicated time for specific tasks, you can increase productivity and make sure your clients receive the best service.

• Use Social Media to Reach Clients

“I am a big fan of Facebook! Lily & Loaf posts lots of great content, and I share these on my page. It’s a great way to get client interest and visibility. I love that when my clients share my posts, I reach even more people!”
– Carol, Stratford-upon-Avon

Social media is a powerful tool for growing your business. By sharing Lily & Loaf’s ready-made content, you can effortlessly promote products to your followers. Encourage your clients to share your posts to expand your reach even further.

• Utilise the Direct Customer Programme

“Initially, I invested a lot in stock, and it tied up my cash flow. My Account Manager suggested switching to the Direct Customer Programme, where clients order directly from Lily & Loaf through my link. It was the best decision – no more stock headaches, and I still earn commission!”
– Dan, Chester

The Direct Customer Programme is ideal for businesses that want to reduce upfront costs. By referring clients directly to Lily & Loaf through your unique link, you can avoid the hassle of managing stock while still earning commissions on sales.

• Leverage Extra Bonuses by Networking

“I own a health food shop and attend as many local fairs and shows as I can. This is a fantastic way to network and encourage other businesses to stock Lily & Loaf products.”
– Anita, Weir

Networking events, fairs, and shows are a great way to meet like-minded business owners and promote your products. By sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge, you may find new customers or partners interested in carrying Lily & Loaf products.

“Connecting with other professionals has been so helpful. I’ve gained insights that have helped my business, and I now have a network of people to collaborate with.”
– Jennifer, Altrincham

Building a support network can be invaluable. By connecting with other Lily & Loaf resellers or professionals in related fields, you can share ideas, refer clients, and support each other’s business goals.

• Maintain Regular Contact with Your Clients

“My clients are spread across the country, so I keep them updated with a newsletter. I send product info and client testimonials, which they love!”
– Anya, Kent

Regular communication with clients can keep them engaged with your business. Consider sending a monthly or quarterly newsletter with product updates, success stories, and promotions to build client loyalty and boost repeat orders.

• Promote Your Brand through Visual Marketing

“I always have branded items with me, like a water bottle or pen with my logo on it. It’s a great conversation starter and helps me spread the word about Lily & Loaf!”
