Tawanna, thanks for joining us again. We’re so excited to have a product focused conversation today. Can you bring our readers up to speed on the product side?
The **Christmas Gift Workshop Tabletop** is a festive holiday decoration designed to bring joy and charm to your seasonal celebrations. It features a whimsical scene where Santa and his hardworking elves are busy crafting gifts for children all around the world. The gifts travel down a slide, adding a playful touch to the scene. This piece is illuminated with lights and plays a selection of eight classic holiday songs, creating a cheerful, music-filled atmosphere in your home.
**Inspiration for its creation:**
This tabletop decoration was inspired by the warmth and magic of the Christmas season. It combines the timeless charm of Santa’s workshop with the festive joy of holiday music and lights. The addition of the elves and sliding gifts adds a dynamic element that evokes a sense of wonder, making it a perfect decorative piece for families looking to enhance their holiday traditions.
**The problem it solves and what was missing in the market:**
During the holiday season, people often look for decorations that not only brighten up their homes but also bring a sense of nostalgia and festive spirit. While many decorations focus on static designs, this product adds movement, lights, and music to create a more interactive and immersive holiday experience. It fills a gap for families seeking a unique, animated piece that goes beyond traditional figurines or static displays.
**What makes it unique, special, or useful:**
What makes the **Christmas Gift Workshop Tabletop** special is its combination of lights, sound, and movement. It doesn’t just sit on a shelf; it actively engages the viewer with a miniature holiday scene that’s both visually and auditorily stimulating. The music selection includes timeless holiday classics like “Jingle Bells,” “Silent Night,” and “O Christmas Tree,” enhancing the atmosphere of any room. It’s perfect for those who enjoy adding an extra touch of festivity and playfulness to their decor. Its design also makes it an excellent choice for families with children, although it should be kept out of reach due to small parts.
**Who it’s for:**
This product is ideal for anyone who loves to decorate for Christmas and wants to create a lively, animated scene. It’s especially great for families with young children, those looking to enhance their holiday collection, or anyone who enjoys holiday-themed music and interactive displays. It makes for a great gift, adding charm to both large and small spaces alike.
Overall, the **Christmas Gift Workshop Tabletop** stands out for its delightful combination of lights, music, and motion, creating a festive and magical experience for all who see it.

Have you tried any fun, non-traditional marketing ideas? If so, we’d love to hear the story and details.
As an Avon representative, trying out fun, non-traditional marketing ideas can be a great way to stand out and engage potential customers. While I don’t run a business myself, here are a few creative, non-traditional marketing ideas that could work well for promoting products like the **Christmas Gift Workshop Tabletop**:
### 1. **Pop-up Holiday Decor Stations**
– **Idea**: Set up a pop-up holiday decor station in local shops, farmer’s markets, or community events where you showcase the **Christmas Gift Workshop Tabletop** alongside other holiday-themed Avon products. The interactive display with lights, music, and movement will capture attention, and you can create a mini “Santa’s Workshop” vibe with the Tabletop as the centerpiece.
– **How it works**: You could invite shoppers to take a quick photo with the display or hold a short holiday trivia contest. Offer small discounts or special offers for people who engage with your booth or purchase that day.
– **Why it’s fun**: This makes the experience immersive and memorable. People love to feel involved in the holiday magic, and seeing the product in action helps them imagine it in their own homes.
### 2. **Social Media Holiday Challenges**
– **Idea**: Launch a **Holiday Decor Challenge** on social media where you invite people to share photos of their holiday decor setups, including a chance to win a **Christmas Gift Workshop Tabletop** as a prize.
– **How it works**: Use a branded hashtag (e.g., #AvonHolidayMagic) and ask your followers to post their most festive or creative holiday decor. Encourage them to tag friends and follow your page for extra entries. Make it fun by encouraging creativity (e.g., funniest, most colorful, or DIY holiday setups).
– **Why it’s fun**: People love to show off their holiday spirit, and offering a prize like the Tabletop makes it more enticing. Plus, it helps increase engagement and visibility for your Avon business.
### 3. **”12 Days of Christmas” Flash Sales or Promotions**
– **Idea**: Run a “12 Days of Christmas” campaign with daily flash sales or special promotions. Each day, feature a different Avon product, including the **Christmas Gift Workshop Tabletop**, with a limited-time offer like a small discount, free shipping, or a bonus product with a purchase.
– **How it works**: Use Instagram Stories, Facebook, or your Avon e-store to feature a product each day. You could even create a countdown leading up to Christmas to build excitement.
– **Why it’s fun**: The limited-time nature of flash sales encourages urgency, while the “12 Days of Christmas” concept brings a sense of festive tradition. It gives customers a reason to check in daily for the next deal.
### 4. **Collaborate with Local Businesses for Cross-Promotions**
– **Idea**: Partner with local businesses, such as cafes, boutiques, or florists, to create a holiday pop-up or cross-promotion. For example, a local coffee shop could feature the **Christmas Gift Workshop Tabletop** in their store during the holidays, and in exchange, you could offer discounts to their customers or promote their business on your social media.
– **How it works**: Both businesses benefit from the exposure, and you get to tap into a new customer base. You could offer small flyers, mini catalogs, or cards with a QR code linking to your Avon store.
– **Why it’s fun**: It’s a creative way to reach people who may not be familiar with Avon. Plus, collaborating with other businesses helps foster community relationships and brings added attention to both your products and the local shop.
### 5. **Interactive Virtual Holiday Parties**
– **Idea**: Host a virtual “Holiday Magic” party where you showcase the **Christmas Gift Workshop Tabletop** and other Avon holiday products. Include fun elements like holiday trivia, a gift-wrapping tutorial, or a “Secret Santa” gift exchange among your guests.
– **How it works**: Use Zoom or Facebook Live to host the event, and offer exclusive discounts to participants during the party. You could also create a poll or voting for the best holiday-themed outfit or decoration during the party.
– **Why it’s fun**: Virtual events let your clients join in from anywhere, and the interactive elements keep everyone engaged. It’s a great way to create a sense of community and spread holiday cheer while showcasing Avon’s holiday offerings.
### 6. **DIY Christmas Craft Kits**
– **Idea**: Create DIY holiday craft kits to accompany your Avon product offerings. For example, offer a **DIY Holiday Centerpiece Kit** with small Avon products like candles or skincare and provide materials for crafting simple, festive centerpieces. Include a **Christmas Gift Workshop Tabletop** as a bonus item for the kit.
– **How it works**: Market the kit on social media as a fun way for families or friends to come together and create their own holiday decorations, complete with Avon products. Provide instructions and inspiration for easy DIY projects.
– **Why it’s fun**: DIY projects encourage people to get involved in making something special for the holidays, and it gives them a reason to purchase your Avon products while being part of the fun.
These ideas not only tap into the excitement of the holiday season but also offer engaging, memorable experiences that connect clients with Avon in a non-traditional way. Creative, fun marketing strategies can help you stand out, build relationships, and create buzz around your products like the **Christmas Gift Workshop Tabletop**.
