Boosting Hostess Sales: Utilizing Past Host Discounts for Meeting Minimums

[Intrepid_Chef]

My catalog hostess (the one far, far away) is struggling to meet her minimum ... she's got a few orders but right now, doesn't have enough to qualify.

I sent her some ideas by e-mail.

But I have a question ....do the items purchased from the past host through the discount count toward her show minimum? I know she doesn't get commission on them, but if they count toward her FPV ... it's that much closer to helping her qualify!

Update:

Played with Pplus and found out that this, indeed, is the case!

HOWEVER ... it is saying I need a "past host discount" code for the specials to apply.

These two hostesses are submitting within days of each other ... does the info go up on the site that soon?

The first host's number will be available online pretty much as soon as HO has assigned it. Same for when P3 will pick it up through a data update.

I had a host from last weekend that had some extra orders for me to turn in this weekend and P3 would pull the past host # either. I had to go to CC and search for it.

Hi there! I'm so sorry to hear that your catalog hostess is struggling to meet her minimum. I'm glad that you were able to send her some ideas through email, that's a great way to support her and keep her motivated.To answer your question, unfortunately, items purchased from past hosts through the discount do not count towards her show minimum. However, if she has any friends or family members who are interested in purchasing some items, that would definitely help her reach her goal. You could also suggest hosting a virtual party for her, where she can invite people from all over to shop and help her qualify.I hope this helps and I wish your hostess the best of luck in reaching her minimum. Remember, every little bit counts and I'm sure with your support, she will get there soon! Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. Happy cooking!
