Beauty and the Biz

To get the full experience of the quality of our entire Votre Vu line, I always recommend that new customers start with the face set of their choice, the Tout Le Monde Eye Gelee, the Duette hand cream and the SnapDragon Beauty Beverage and here’s why:
There isn’t anything better you can do for your face then to start and maintain a daily face care (and you know how much we LOVE our Votre Vu face sets). And every girl…and guy for that matter…needs a great eye product because that delicate area of our face ages quicker and needs special protection. The Duette hand cream…well, it’s a handbag staple! And we’ll let you in on a little French skincare secret: French women use hand cream every time they wash their hands. Think about it, your hands and lips work hard and deserve some help in staying soft and smooth. And last but not least, our SnapDragon is our best seller and is packed full of super fruits and antioxidants that fight off free radicals that damage skin. All 7 products have their own job and it truly is the way to start feeling the Votre Vu difference the fastest.

When you purchase these 7 products, you get them all at retail for around $230-270 (depending on your faceset). That in itself is an amazing price for our professional grade products. However, to give you an even better deal, we offer two different types of discount programs that allow you to shop the entire line and receive the best possible prices.

The first program is called our Personal Shopper Program. With this program you get 30% off all product purchases and 50% off every third item purchased…and we take it off your most expensive item. To enroll in the program you purchase a $69 pak that includes three of the products mentioned above (Tout Le Monde, Duette, Snapdragon) along with our spot treatment for blemishes call Au’Revoir. So for example, if you get this pak along with your face set, you would get it all for about $165 ($195 for the Full Benefits line). A great savings compared to retail and there isn’t a department store brand where you could walk away with 7 products of this caliber for a similar price.

Our second program sets you up with a Business Builder program. It includes all the same benefits and these 7 products mentioned above (4 step face set, Tout Le Monde, Duette, Snapdragon)…however, it sets you up with a business account so that if you share the products with others you can earn a referral bonus and if you ever decided to work the business to earn some extra money you would be set up to do that. So for $199 (only an additional $30) you’re set up with the discount AND a business account if you ever decide to use it.

The qualifications to stay in the program is the same for both…place an order at least ever 4 months of about $75-80, which isn’t difficult to do with all the fabulous products in our line. Most people order every 4-8 weeks.

Which of these is most appealing to you? You can make your choice today and you will have the products on your doorstep in just a few days. Make your selection here!

Welcome to Vu!

When Heather ran across the article “The Categories of Companies in Network Marketing” by Andy Geldhart, it resonated with her for several reasons. It summed up all the reasons she walked away from a established successful direct sales business that involved a hard-good product, a party plan business model and breakaway compensation plan…all things that should send up a redflag according to Mr. Geldhart in his article.

After working with such a company for almost 8 years, Heather saw the limitations that Mr. Geldhart refers to in his article. Not having heard of the term “Holy Grail”, Heather has always described Votre Vu as the total package and later when she ran across the article, she knew that the “total package” and “Holy Grail” were one and the same.

Bonnie and Heather discuss the 5 categories of companies in network marketing and the 5 things that need to be in place for a company to be the next Holy Grail.

You can find Andy Geldhart’s entire article here.

See you at the top!

The Vu Girls, Bonnie and Heather, ran across an article on www.directselling411.com that talks about the 7 different categories of people who get involved in direct sales. They share those categories with you and expand on the different reasons that motivate people to get involved in direct sales (network marketing).

Most people will find that they fit into more then one category at a given time. And throughout their direct sales career they may move in between different categories as their needs and desires change.

Are you involved in Direct Sales (network marketing)? Leave a comment about your direct sales experience. Which category fits your reason for being involved in your chosen company?

7 Catergories of People who Get Involved in Direct Sales

If you are looking to get involved with a direct sales company, we would love to help you get started with Votre Vu.
Enroll by ordering your choice of either the $199 or $399 startMEup pak. (Please note that the link also shows $69 Personal Shopper pak option that is not a business account. The Personal Shopper pak is solely a discount buyer option.)

Direct Sales? What is that? How does that work? Can you really make any money at that? Is that the pyramid thing?

For those involved in direct sales (be it party plan, network marketing, MLM), these are common questions. And even though direct sales is an industry with a proven track record of success, it still is not understood by a large segment of the population.

Simply put, it’s a business model of distributing goods to the end consumer through independent consultants (reps, Brand Ambassadors:) instead of a traditional fixed store front. Instead of investing dollars in advertising, consultants are paid to find and support new customers. Most direct sales companies even provide additional bonuses to those consultants who further grow the brand by enrolling/sponsoring new consultants who in turn will do the same.

More and more businesses are turning to direct sales because it works. The Direct Sales industry has grown on average 4%+ more each year even during the past recessionary times. AND more and more consumers are turning to direct sales to purchase products/services because of the convenience, high quality product and personal service they get.

So our question is…if you are looking for a way to add additional income to your monthly budget, why wouldn’t you get involved in direct sales? It’s easy to get started. It’s a no-risk way of starting your business (low start up with no penalties if you change your mind). It’s a flexible way to own your own business and be your own boss. It can create residual income over time and even create legacy incomes.

We would love to help you get started with Votre Vu and show you how to build a successful direct sales business.

Bonnie and Heather ran across an article, 17 Bad Skin Habits, at allure.com. They share how using Votre Vu products can help you avoid falling victim to 3 of those bad skin care habits.

Here are the 3 habits discussed in the video:
1. Using the wrong combination of skin care products or the wrong type for your skin.
We’ll say it again…using a face set can simplify your life and make your skin look it’s absolute best!
Choose from:
Best Regards
Attentive
Peau Equilibree

2. Neglecting neck, decollete and eye area.
French women have always recognized that skin on different parts of the body is different and therefore should be treated different. They have speciality creams for the neck & decollete knowing that the skin there is thicker and has fewer oil glands and different hormonal reactors. Votre Vu has Portrait Collar, infused with marine collagen and elastin to strengthen the neck tissue and promote elasticity.
Another area that deserves extra special attention…the eyes! Votre Vu has an arsenal of strong performers to help you target that delicate area.
Heather recommends that everyone over the age of 20 use Tout Le Monde Eye Gelee, a moisturizing gel that firms, tones, and tightens the entire eye area. And for those of you a bit more mature, add Luxee Yeux to your nighttime regimen. This emollient balm helps correct age-related damage and supports tissue restructuring.

3. Not washing your face at night.
Bonnie thinks you just aren’t washing your face because you are lazy:) Or maybe it’s because you really don’t think it makes a difference. But it does, it really does! Especially if you pamper your skin with Votre Vu.
Your body temperature drops at nice which means that whatever is on your face (the grime built up throughout the day or proven complexion enhancers like you find in our Parfait Nuit) is going to penetrate your pores deeper. Get the grime washed off and treat your skin to a dose of good for your serums and night creams.

*Tip: Don’t wait to wash your face right before you are ready to crawl into bed. Get a jump start and wash it after dinner or before you sit down to veg during your favorite TV show. It will only take 2-3 minutes once you get into the habit. You only have one face! Take the time to take care of it:)

*Remember: Save BIG on all Votre Vu products when you enroll as a Personal Shopper.

Here are the Votre Vu products mentioned in the video:
1. Royal Treatment Scrub

3. Tout Le Monde Eye Gelee – This is a product you should be using every morning but chill it off in the fridge for an extra spa treatment.

Each step of your face regimen is important. We wouldn’t be wasting our time (or yours) with it if it wasn’t.

Bonnie and Heather talk about the first 2 steps in our Votre Vu 4 step daily regimen:

Step 1 Cleanser. Cleanse to remove impuritities. Powered by lush botanicals, our ultra-gentle cleansers go beyond cleansing as they softly sooote and hydrate. Many cleansers on the market are too harsh and strip away essential oils. If your face is left feeling tight or squeeky clean, you probably are using a product that is too harsh for your skin.

Step 2 Toner. Tone to remove residual cleanser, restore your skin’s natural pH balance, and create a ‘blank slate’ to receive the next steps of your regimen. When you use a toner, the products that you apply to your skin afterward will be more effective.
