Has this happened to you at a party?

[pbusardo]

I had a couple of parties to go to this past weekend.

The first was a 40th birthday party, the second was my niece and nephews combined birthday party.

I spent 30% enjoying myself and 70% explaining my electronic cigarettes. It appears that EVERYONE who was smoking wants to quit and they were all completely fascinated by my e-cigs! I would get done explaining, have a drink, and before you know it, there was someone else saying, "hey I heard you have have an electronic cigarette can you tell me about it?" Then I would have to go into my lesson all over again! THEY ALL WANTED INFORMATION ON THEM!

To tell you the truth, if I was selling them, I could have easily sold 20 kits just this past weekend. I would love to have kits available in my car ready to go when the questions start to fly.

Does anyone know how to get kits to sell or become a dealer or reseller?

Do any of you suppliers out there want to offer me kits to sell?

Lemme know. Thanks!

Happens to me working shifts at work, whenver a new shift is on and I go for a vape in the smoke shelter I have to answer all the questions ont aht shift

I could have sold around 15, we need some sort of code they can use when they buy so we get discount lol

 

[yknotagain]

I have people come up to me and ask me all the time at parties or in bars. I explain them a lot lol

Well, I don't go to parties, but where ever I do go and vape, I'm constantly asked questions.

About a month or so ago I was at a car dealership vaping away and had a number of the sales people approach me and ask what I was doing. They were very interested. I noticed one guy who asked shortly after light up an analog and then he just slyly looked over at me. He really was interested!

Not LOL!! This is exactly what we need!!

 

[blackbug]

See if your favourite dealer has an affiliate link or a special discount code that credits you. Then could could get a card printed and say "this is where I get them from"...

I've thought about buying a bunch of 4081's for cheap and keeping them on hand.
I could sell a dozen a week just doing my normal everyday things. I get questions all the time. Not sure if I'd try selling liquid though, I'd prolly point them to the pilot for refills. Wouldn't want the blame for accidents.

Without having to purchase 100 kit minimums through wholesalers, some oversea sites such as Ruyandirect, bestecig, and eastmall sell kits at a pretty low price. You could then calculate your cost into shipping and handling when selling.

I haven't noticed too many US suppliers that wholesale or provide drop shipping, although I haven't been looking either. Only US supplier that I can recall is myfreedomsmokes. He has great communication and customer service, although I have only ordered liquid through him once. On his site, there is a wholesale inquiry page. You'll have to contact him for further info.

I won't sell. I point them to this forum and a website or two but mostly tell them to google electronic cigarettes and make their own decision. I do tell them about the cheaper ones and the more expensive ones and the differences.

I GAVE a friend plenty and told her to go from there for herself. She would rather I be an unpaid Avon lady. Take order, make order, get order, figure out meeting up time, deliver order, collect money.

No thanks! If they want them bad enough, they can find a way. My friend has no computer so I was willing to help at first. Now I've gotten phone numbers for her and she can call and order. It's up to her. She says she dearly loves these things and she hasn't smoked an analog for a month (all from the free stuff I gave her) so we'll see how badly she likes them.

I've learned to take a small 5ml bottle with me when I see her and just let her know that's all I have with me...sorry.

I've just sent TECC an email asking about some cards I'll see what they say

 

[Aaron!]

TECC sent me a handful (five exactly) of business cards with the 510 Black Titan starter kit. I have already dished them all out. I would really love to be a part of the industry, in one way or another but have no idea how to go about doing something like that.

I'm still very new to the whole concept (and trust me it shows) but am still very fascinated with where the future is going in regards to nicotine consumption. I playfully suggest that I won't buy an iPhone until it has a PV application.

 

[JrdUK]

I seriously suggest that I won't buy an iPhone until it has a PV application.

I can't belive we didn't think of this sooner! What I really want is a phone that isn't a very good phone buts its 50 other things!

I hope its a manual switch so I can hold it till the iPhone MELTS

 

[wv2win]

I made up a little card that I hand out. On one side I have listed about 8 web sites: the forum, a couple of informational web sites and about 5 reputable suppliers web addresses. On the other side is my definition/description of what a PV is. I print these on brochure type paper and then cut them up to the size of about a playing card. I then answer a few questions and then hand them a card if they want more indepth information.

Google around. You can buy direct from a number of mfrs pretty cheap. Usually 100-kit minimum, presentation box, custom printing a bit extra, you can get the whole nine yards. I've seen them as low as $12 per kit.

Then you can lug them around to your parties. Host sales parties like Southern Living, Amway. Sky's the limit, as you're just finding out!

Here's just one of many examples:
JSB-118 Electronic cigarette JSB 118 mini cigarette CN;GUA products

TECC are sending me out some cards

 

[scatterbrain]

I always carry extra parts (carts, charged batts, atty)with me and on two occasions at parties someone has commandeered my ecig for the best part of the night (both times people I knew, and I told them to try one for a while…just haven’t expected them to keep it all night!) Have also been asked to add starter kits to a future order I might be placing for myself. I’m happy to share along these lines but wouldn’t want to take responsibility for being a reseller.

I love the earlier idea about getting assigned a personal coupon code from a favorite supplier, that you could perhaps handwrite on the supplier’s business card and pass out…and what if ultimately the supplier would track it back to you for a perk? Great marketing op for the supplier, the e-cig industry in general, and an added incentive for those of us who currently vape to spread the word!

Any suppliers listening?

I tried that to: Referral Discount

it did not generate a lot of enthusiasm

 

[JrdUK]

Sorry I didn't explain it in my post very well, TECC are sending me some cards and have given me a 7% discount to give out where I get commision back on it

 

[Meltbanana]

I too get asked about my ecig at parties constantly, but due to the types of parties I attend it's usually people asking me what else they could use instead of the liquid

Man it happens to me everywhere I go. Out to eat. At the DMV. Sometimes it gets so frustrating that I just shrug and hand them a card and let them draw their own conclusions... My girl tells me I have become a workaholic and am letting this job overtake my life. I am starting to think she is right...
