Bra Fitters See the People!

Established bra fitter Gail Bogdanovich and newly recruited bra fitter Laura Kroeger share their thoughts on success at a recent conference call. Their one common goal is to see the people. As with any business, distributors like Gail and Laura know the value of getting out there and networking their bra business. Gail believes in goal setting, preparation, and follow-through. She does these three things before she visits a health club, or chiropractor's office to do her bra fittings. New recruit Laura Kroeger shares her stories about getting started in the business. She initially asked her sister to do a show. To Laura's surprise, she made $500 that day and she was able to schedule two additional shows from that event. Laura is off to a good start and she's excited about her business.

Bra Fitters can “Each One . . . Reach One”

Growing your business as a Beauty by Jeunique bra-fitter can be done one person at a time. During this time of economic uncertainty, the one industry growing is that of direct-sales. Distributor Jackie Tracy believes that growing occurs in sharing the opportunity. “Direct-sales is virtually a recession proof business,” she states in a recent presentation. One tip she talks about is reconnecting with inactive consultants in your downline. What better way to sell product and re-introduce the opportunity other than to people already familiar with the products? She encourages her team to “Each One . . . Reach One” as a way of communicating their business.

Bra-fitter helps ladies fit in!

Celeste Braly (pronounced bra-lee) is a bra fitter in Alaska recently noticed by the Anchorage Daily News for her blooming boutique business in the Palmer Downtown Plaza. With customers ranging from ages 14 to 96, Celeste specializes in custom-fitted Beauty by Jeunique bras.

She got started in the business initially as a customer. As a size 40H, this former intensive-care nurse experienced neck and back pain from a bra that gave no support. So, she began a search for the perfect bra. When she found out about the Beauty by Jeunique bras and the opportunity—a bra fitter was born.

Celeste emphasizes that a proper fitting bra can virtually change one’s life. “It’s something you wear every day. It alters the shape and the fit of your clothing. It changes the way your posture behaves, therefore it can produce less strain on you neck and back . . . they tell us (to get enough food) sleep and exercise. In my mind, proper bra fitting is number four,” she said in an interview with the Anchorage Daily News.

She says that many women guess their bra size, and this results in women often wearing a band size that is too large and a cup that is too small. She gets a wide variety of people walking into her boutique and that keeps things interesting. In the bra-fitting business, Celeste realizes that every woman is unique. “Every single breast I have ever fit is different. No two are ever alike,” she says. Helping women “fit in” is to help them get into the “right bra” to help them feel better and be more comfortable. She loves the fact that her business is actually helping people. Celeste comments that many women actually “walk a little taller,” and “you can see them smile a little” after being fitted into a Beauty by Jeunique bra.

Are you getting the lift and support from your bra?

Many women want two things in a bra—lift and support. A good bra will give you both without compromising comfort. Many women think that underwire bras give support—not true. Underwires can actually constrict the circulation of the breast tissue. Plus, how many women reading this have actually suffered from underwires escaping their casing? Ever had that funny sticking sensation in your breast only to find out that it’s a rogue underwire?

To get the proper support from a bra, make sure that you get fitted first. You might think you’re a 36C and realize that you are actually a 34D, once you’ve been measured and fitted. Then make sure that the design of the bra gives proper support to the underneath of the breasts, which is the most tender part, and carries the weight of the breast. Getting the proper support underneath the breasts can alleviate the shoulder and neck pain many women experience with an ill-fitting and ill-supporting bra.

The Jeunique bra has a patented Banderin that gives a shelf like support underneath the breasts. Visit www.jeunique.com and click “Body Fashions” to see the wide range of bras in hundreds of bra sizes from 26 to 46 around and cups from A to N, all designed with the supportive Banderin.

Have Your Own Bra Business

The bra business is a specialized industry. You have to know how to measure and fit, and how to sell. It does require training, but once you know how to fit a Beauty by Jeunique bra you can have a business that enables you to have financial freedom.

Many Beauty by Jeunique Distributors enjoy their independence as entrepreneurs. Aside from the regular party plan method of direct sales, many of them do bra fittings at health clubs such as Curves. Trade shows, Expos, and conventions are also big venues for bra-fitters.

Many women are often surprised when they get fitted for a bra. It is such a personal experience, but Jeunique bra-fitters are professionals trained by the Company and/or trained by their sponsors who have received their certificates as bra fitters. Making the customer feel comfortable is the first step in bra-fitting, then it is about taking the correct measurement and getting the woman into the bra.

If you would like to get fitted for a bra, or interested in becoming a bra fitter, drop us a note here at www.brabusiness.com and we will connect you with a Beauty by Jeunique bra fitter in your area.

Stories from Jeunique Distributors

In our previous post, I talked about how the right bra can change your life. Here are stories from a few Jeunique Distributors and how the Jeunique Bra changed their lives.

Do you have a Jeunique bra? Leave us a comment here at www.brabusiness.com and let us know how wearing the right bra has changed your life.

Christine Hollingshead:

I have been wearing the Jeunique Bra since 1997. I was disappointed with my ill-fitting bras, then a clerk at a department store whispered to me that an ex-employee had quit to sell personalized bras. I was still nursing my second daughter when I received my first bra fitting. Wearing the Jeunique Bra, I immediately started training for triathlons, I now only needed to wear one bra to give me the support I needed whereas I used to wear two. I’m an athletic person, and I have since developed a passion for martial arts, racquetball, hiking, and horseback riding.

I use the Jeunique Bra as a sports bra, but it is really a multi-purpose bra. You can use it for nursing, sports, post operation, and of course as a daily bra. Since wearing the bra, I feel confident, I stand straighter, and I am not ashamed of my figure.

Vicky Lynn Fanska:

The Jeunique Bra J30 is my favorite product. It’s the best bra I have ever worn. One of my breasts is larger than the other one, and after wearing the J30 both breasts got the support and circulation they needed. As a result, they now look more symmetrical. I believe that the increased circulation of my breasts from wearing the bra made all the difference. The Jeunique Bra can also make you look and feel 10 pounds thinner.

Can the Right Bra Change your Life?

Have you ever asked yourself if the right bra can change your life? The answer is—YES! Wearing the right bra can improve your personal and professional well being.

On a personal level, imagine if you could walk in comfort and support, improve your breast care, and even look 10 to 15 pounds slimmer. Bra discomfort during a party, a meeting, or on a daily basis can be very irritating and even embarrassing. Have you ever wanted to bring that band down or lift up that bra strap, but could not because you were in a room full of people? Or have you ever suffered from upper back pain, or have your bra straps cut into your shoulder to the point that it breaks your skin? If you said yes, imagine if you could eliminate these problems all together.

It is not only about wearing the right bra size, but it is also about the bra itself. Wearing a good support bra is much like cupping the underneath of your breasts with both hands. If you tried it, you will notice how comfortable it feels and how doing so can really lift up your breasts. Of course you would not get any work done that way. So, are you wearing the right bra for you?

You are probably wearing the wrong bra if:

• If you have cup overflow
• If your bra band rides up
• If your shoulder straps cut against your skin
• If you suffer from constant back pain
• If your straps constantly fall down
• If your underwire cuts through the fabric and pokes your skin

If the above has happened to you, then it might be time to change your bra. A good bra is basically good breast care. Breasts tucked into an ill-fitting bra with no support do not get the circulation they need and can be detrimental to your breast care. The right bra can help you forget about discomfort so you can focus on the important issues of your day.

On a professional level wearing the right bra can be the beginning of a new career. Many Beauty by Jeunique Distributors started out as Jeunique bra customers. Once they were fitted into the Jeunique Bra they have never looked at their old store bought bras again. The patented design of the Jeunique Bra gave these women the lift, comfort, and support they need and want. They shared this secret with their friends and family, and they developed a profitable business as Jeunique bra fitters.

Beauty by Jeunique Distributors find that direct sales gives them the freedom of time to work around their family’s schedule. Some distributors are stay-at-home moms who are able to make money in their own time. Another factor in their decision to become Jeunique bra fitters was the Company’s reputation and long standing in the direct sales industry. Distributors have often expressed their pride in being associated with Jeunique, and they feel good about making a difference in women’s lives.
