I am having an open house in November and am going to be doing the mystery host. How should I go about this? I read that I sould only give one of the itmes away, meaning the Free items, the 1/2 items, or the discount items. Should I do this or give them all of the benefits?
Also if anybody has a invite that I could get some ideas from on how to do this I would appreciate that too.
 
I plan on giving away all of the benefits. Last year I didn't give away benefits. I gave away an extra Chillzanne Rectangle Server I had. Plus I had 5 goodie bags for drawings throughout the event that had smaller items in them. I guess it depends on how big you think it would be. How would you put that onto an order to have receipts if different people get the free product, half price, & discount? Who gets the 10% off for a year?

There are some good invites on here about earning chances for the event. If you look up Mystery host or Open house under files, you'll probably find some.
 
Hi there! Congrats on hosting an open house in November! The mystery host idea sounds like a fun and exciting way to engage your guests. In terms of giving away the benefits, I would suggest sticking to the rule of only giving away one type of item. This will create a sense of exclusivity and make the prize more desirable for your guests. As for invitations, there are plenty of templates available online that you can customize to fit your event. You can also get creative and make your own invitations using themed graphics or images. Good luck with your open house!
