Mystery Host Flyer

[chefannie]

I really need help - my show cancelled next week and I refuse to have another September (had 2 shows and they both cancelled). Does anyone have the instructions for how to do a Mystery Host show? I would like to try one to make up for the party that cancelled? Thanks. Annie

The way I have done it, I invite everyone to a "Mystery Host" open house, and tell them they will get to sample new recipes and see new products from the new catalog. I also tell them they will be entered into a drawing to win the host benefits for attending, bringing a guest, RSVPing, etc. When I give out the host benefits, I split them up - so one person gets the Monthly Host Special, one person gets the half-priced item (if there's more than one, I draw 2 winners), one person gets the unlimited discount (20 -30%) and one person gets 10% off for the year. The person who wins the 10% off for the year is the person whose name I enter the show under (having the items SHIPPED TO CONSULTANT to me in the address field). I calculate payment from everyone else for the items they select for the host benefits, after I take everyone's orders for the show. I also do some giveaways for those who don't win the drawing, like Season's Best recipe books, twixits, etc.

Hope that helps and good luck!
