Ok, I am new at this so this may be a silly question. I am planning for my Open House this weekend and I have two different order forms. I have the carbon copy forms that came in my kit and then I printed the Outside Order Forms off of Consultant's Corner. What do you use each one for?

I know that I read somewhere that the guest needs to leave the show with a reciept in hand, but I was just at a show in December for a friend and she used her own made up order form and I left with no reciept. Don't you always need to give the guest a reciept??
 
When I do shows, I give the host the Outside order forms to collect orders before and after the show. At the show, I use the carbon copy forms (I use the write in forms) for the guest. I give them the bottom copy, give the host the top copy and keep the middle copy for myself. When the host sorts the orders, she puts the top copy in their bag for their warranty purposes.
 
if you send me a email, i can send you some, we usually get them from our director and team [email protected]

Hi there! Great question. The carbon copy forms that came in your kit are great for taking orders during the show. They provide a copy for you and a copy for the customer so that you both have a record of the order. The Outside Order Forms from Consultant's Corner are perfect for taking orders after the show or for customers who couldn't attend but still want to place an order. It's always best to give the customer a receipt, whether it's a carbon copy form or an outside order form. This way, they have a record of their purchase and you have a record of their order. I hope this helps! Happy Open House!
