Nope, the $150 has to just be guest orders.

In order for the hostess to earn decent benefits they need to collect $200 in sales. I believe I was told that to "qualify you" you need them to equal $200 to count towards the "4 shows" - but if you are shooting for $1250 total instead you can just have several $150 totals.
 
Only $150-I believe that regardless of its a kitchen or catalog show, you only need $150 in sales (excluding the host's order) for it to be a "Show".

The catalog show hosts begins her benefits at $150 in guest sales, but only gets the 15% off, no free, or half off products.

You qualify when you have either 4 shows at least $150 in guest sales each, OR $1250 in sales (whichever comes first) by the end of your super starter months (end of 3rd actual month).

The $200 thing for catalog shows is that is when the host actually begins to earn free product value.

The back page of the catalog explains it and the Recipe for Success outlines this as well.

Best wishes for much success!!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a catalog show in Pampered Chef?

A catalog show is a type of sales event where hosts showcase Pampered Chef products through catalogs rather than a live demonstration. Guests can browse the catalog, place orders, and the host earns rewards based on the total sales generated during the show.

How many orders should I aim for in a catalog show?

While there is no set number, aiming for at least 10 to 15 orders can help maximize the host's rewards and ensure a successful show. The more orders you receive, the better the potential for earning discounts and free products for the host.

What factors influence the number of orders in a catalog show?

Several factors can influence the number of orders, including the size of the guest list, the host's ability to promote the show, the timing of the event, and the appeal of the products featured in the catalog. Engaging hosts and well-targeted invitations can significantly boost order numbers.

How can I encourage guests to place orders during a catalog show?

To encourage guests to place orders, consider offering incentives such as exclusive discounts, free shipping, or a raffle for those who place orders. Additionally, sharing product demonstrations, testimonials, and highlighting special promotions can motivate guests to make a purchase.

What should I do if I receive fewer orders than expected?

If you receive fewer orders than expected, reach out to guests for feedback and consider extending the ordering period. You can also follow up with reminders, share additional product information, or offer limited-time promotions to encourage last-minute orders.
