I'm a little confused as to hostess specials. I have a host who hosted a show in the beginning of December and we are FINALLY submitting it. Before she submits HER order, (the ONLY one we've been waiting for) she wants to know what she should order NOW and what she should keep aside to order at a mutual co-worker's show I'm doing in two weeks.

She's entitled to the hostess benefits at any show she attends for a six month period, correct? She wants to know how that could help her with her order for the January 18th party. What exactly is she entitled to at other parties for six months? Since January is such a big deal for hostesses, how does she benefit from a January show of another host?

Thanks,
Dena
 
In January, She can chose one piece of stoneware for 60% off at a show booked from hers.If it wasn't booked from hers, she can use her PHD on top of the 20% off sale price for any stoneware that she wants.

PHd? Something Host Discount?

But that can be any show she goes to for six months, correct? or its only shows booked from yours? I realize she gets the 10% for a year, but I wasnt sure how this part worked
 
The 10% is the Past Host Discount. It is good for 1 year. The 6 months that you keep refering to is the booking benefit. If someone books a show from her show and holds it within 6 months, she can get the host special at that show.

Thank you, sir. Thank you, Becky. Its crystal clear now.
 
She can only get the host special if the show was booked from hers and held within 6 months from hers. Otherwise she only gets her 10% discount on her order. (That can be 10% on top of the guest special discount for the month.)

Thanks Sarah
 
Yeah, all that.

Also, ask her if she wants to book off herself and do another show in 6 months. That way at her own 2nd show she can get the host special plus put a guest order in for a 2nd host special.
