Ways to Make Mercury Retrograde Your Ally

Eeek, duck and cover, Mercury is going retrograde.

SB MRXHow to profit from fear. Just kidding about that, but how many of your customers are worried about Mercury going retrograde? Do they change their purchasing behavior? We’ve heard of many superstitions, warnings and remedies around Mercury Retrograde. Some help and some just spin more fear and uncertainty.

You can teach your customers to make Mercury retrograde their ally.

We are all in the business of helping people and in today’s blog we will discuss how to keep going especially now. The more your clients understand the gift of this astrological influence the more they will feel in control of their lives. A happy customer is the best customer to have.

The shadow side of Mercury while in retrograde has gotten a lot of bad press. Like lemons, you can make lemonade with Mercury too. Bring some sweetness to MRx by learning the three R’s. Rest, Review and Re-do.

We know that short of putting together a class, you don’t necessarily have time to personally educate each of your customers on the opportunities that await them each time Mercury slows its roll. As you know Mercury does this four times a year for about 22 days. That’s almost 90 days a year of unique opportunities. Let’s make the most of it.

Right inside your store is all you need for turning MRx sunny side up for your customers. Starting with R for Rest, guide them to trying out a new meditation cd and calming incense, oils and candles. Aromatherapy is a powerful ally in the relaxation department.

The second R is for Review. Looking back is much easier during MRx. There is less chaos and resistance. Trying to move forward in plans and activities will get you a face full of cosmic dust that distorts mental clarity. Decisions are much harder to make at this time. Pull out all your journals and books on journaling and put them right under their noses. It’s easier to learn from the past now, so promote MRx readings where your tarot card readers help clients understand what happened and why.

The third R is for Re-do. This could range from cleaning closets to remodeling. What do you have in your store that would enhance this activity? Does your customer need to re-do their altar or meditation space? We bet you have gorgeous statues, candles, mandalas and scarves that will inspire your customers to spend more time being in the flow of universal love.

Here at Coventry Creations we have created products that teach about this phenomenon and remedy the Mercury Retrograde blues. We have the MRx Spell Box and the Re-Boot Spell Box which includes candles, oil and directions. Please visit type40sale.com to see how cool they are and place your order too.

Getting Ready for Valentine’s Day

Getting your share of $18 Billion Dollars

Valentine CandlesIf you think Valentine’s day is not an important selling time for your store – you are wrong. You are $18 Billion Dollars wrong. Valentine’s day tops out Halloween in overall dollars spent. Many of that money is spent in restaurants, but most importantly, more men spend money on Valentine’s day than women and this is your opportunity to cash in!

Double your customer base with Valentine’s Day Shoppers

In the spiritual industry, most of our buyers are women and we have been looking for ways to bring more men into the stores. Here it is, on a platter, waiting for us to recognize the opportunity, so why haven’t we? Because men don’t shop the same way women do.

Men are not shoppers and they are looking for the quick and easy buy. They want to get in and out with confidence that they got the right thing for their love interest and that changes your marketing game for them. Gift sets that are clean and easy and not too fluffy, coordinating items that they can scan and make a quick decision, ordering online so they don’t have to step in the store and get overwhelmed. Easily identifiable shopping areas in your store – they want the Valentine's Day section to shop from.

They will shop the rest of the store and even choose things not from your Valentine’s section, but they need a starting point or it gets overwhelming. If they can’t quickly focus in, they will leave and not buy at all.

Valentine’s day done right, buys men brownie point for the whole year.

Single or paired up, your “Love” products will be a hit from mid January through the end of February.

Love is a year round subject, but the pressure is on those first 2 weeks in February and it it turned up to boil from the 10th to the 14th. It’s not just the gift giving, but the self-love and the need to feel loved by others that becomes an emotional trigger for many women.

Fill your store with items that are not only perfect for a romantic and loving gift, but show your customers how to nurture themselves this time of year. Create easy gift sets around a $50 price points for gift giving. Set up a section on self-care and empowerment. Don’t forget to highlight the love spell products as they will be in demand as well! These will be winners this time of year as we are all stepping out of the excitement of the new year and into the reality of our daily needs.

Coventry has a comprehensive selection of products perfect for this time of year; from bringing love to you to deepening the love that it there.

Mr. Robinson, Gifting Candles is NOT Weird.....

Mr. Robinson weird The title is a bit of an inside joke between myself and a friend. I want to share it with you. I am not sure how the topic got started between us both. I believe it may have been a conversation borne from passions for the products we offer here at Arcadia Marketplace.

Good Vibes - Good Employees

good employeesHaving positive people in such a sensitive area is vital for our products to maintain authentic magic.   When it’s time to bring in a new family member we tread carefully.   “Hire intentionally”, is our motto and frankly, that can be a difficult value to maintain when we are in a desperate need for more hands on deck.

When we hire a new employee we know that we are investing in them; the cost of training, cost of work slowdown during training and the cost of the hiring process.   Because this is an investment (on average it costs a business $2000 to hire a new employee) we make sure that a new potential employee fits in with our culture.  We even draft our interview questions to get an initial read on how they stand with each of our values: Open, passionate, excellence, fun and tenacity.   

You don’t have to be outwardly magic or even understand what we do to work at Coventry.  You just have to be a good person who jives with the people that you spend more time with than you spend with your family.   We know that every person we hire leaves an imprint upon our products and our lives and ours to theirs.   We work with the intent that we will walk together for a time and need to leave each other’s lives the better for it.    We just want to generate good vibes that carry all the way through our products ending with the person who needs the magic we create.

Affirming the New Year

affirming the new yarAbout 3 years ago we started featuring the Affirmation candles in December to promote a magical and empowered turn of the year.   This new tradition has gone from a simple wholesale promotion to a personal journey that many of our customers anticipate and plan for.    

 

Instead of a New Year’s Resolution, we promote the creation of a New Year’s Affirmation.  

 

Resolutions are for breaking.  They are a vow and promise that is impossible to keep, this creates sabotage and defeat in the new year.   

 

Affirmations are for keeping.   They allow small sustainable changes that build upon each other to create a new reality over time.


With this month’s special and New Year POP sign, you can stock up on the Affirmations and start a conversation with your customers, helping them choose their 2016 Affirmation and bring in the New Year with positive energy!
