These guidelines will make it easy: 1. Labels go on the tags (come in your boutique) for all pieces except for the earrings. 2. Take the earrings off the cards they came on and put them on the “display” earring cards that were included. They look much nicer on your table that way. After changing the cards, add the label directly to the back of the “display” earring card. 3. Attach tags to necklaces, bracelets, pendants. Can attach to rings if you desire. 4. You can use the list of jewelry that came and/or use the index in the catalog to identify pieces and label them correctly. The boxes they come in are labeled as well. 5. Tagging will help you learn the names of your jewelry quicker. 6. Use trays to store and travel with Jewelry and use as part of display too 7. A “photo” of Boutique layout provided for set up. 8. Keep Premier boxes and flat e/r cards for future sample sales. 24. _____Trainings / Rally a. Attend monthly training! Those who TRAIN will REMAIN!!!! b. Regional Rally is typically the 2nd Saturday in January each year. It is a ONE Day event. This is when the new summer/spring line is introduced.
