Thank you SO much!!! :-)

I know it's late in the season for me to plan a Past Host Appreciation Party, but I was wondering how to do one. Do I do it like a regular show? Or do I just have a party for them with refreshments and a game, maybe? Any suggestions will be appreciated. (I'm trying to rejuvenate my business. My...

This is a great idea. I've been wanting to do a Host Appreciation Party but wasn't sure how to work out the details. Thanks for posting this! :) Anita

I just stumbled onto the Pampering Businesses thread and I'm excited to try it my area in East TN. I have a question about the host benefits - who gets the free and half-price items? Who chooses the half-price items? Sorry if I'm sounding technical, I just don't want to mess up a good thing...

Thanks for your input. I appreciate it! Anita

My director is awesome and does a great job of motivating her team. My only problem is that her house where we have our meetings is 45 mins. away from me. I can't make the meetings every month. She's having a meeting tonight but I just couldn't face that drive this evening. However, there...

Thanks so much, Kelly! I'm looking forward to trying this out. (My family looks forward to it, too! Hah!) Anita

I just got the Mini Muffin Pan and I'm looking for a recipe for mini cheesecakes. I thought it would be great for a show and also for "servicing my local businesses"! I'm having a hard time finding a good one, though. Most recipes I've found use the regular muffin pan! I appreciate any help...

Thanks for the info, Susan! This is a great tool to use for fundraising. I'll make sure your name is on it as the compiler of the info and put it in my show binder. Hopefully it will get someone thinking. PC tools are so much more fun than wrapping paper, and will last a lot longer than some...

I really want to "Pamper" some businesses around my area, esp. where there is at least one person there who likes Pampered Chef! :D My problem is that I'm not crazy about the idea of leaving my nice PC products where I don't know many people, or not having them to cook in when I might need...

Great Ideas!I'm so excited to try these recipes! I've been wanting to do a Pampering for some businesses and didn't have a clue as to what I could take. I don't like the idea of having to leave a stone or something. :) I can hardly wait to try it. I'm sure my family will love trying these...

Thanks for all your input. I guess I was just thinking that the totals would look like a Kitchen Show. Marlene, I put the host's order in with the button you click to add the host's order. I tried it 2 or 3 times and it came out the same every time after that first time. I don't know what...

I'm going to use it at one of my shows, too! I played a game with the guests at my first (and only so far) show and they seemed to really enjoy it. I just feel like I've really been to a party when we play a game! Thanks for sharing! Anita

I just re-entered everything again and it all came out the same as last time. Maybe it's because she didn't get any free and half-price items, only $10.00 off. I'm going to play around with my totals from now on so I don't make any more mistakes like that. I try to learn from each mistake and...

I just entered my second show, a catalog show, and the numbers seem off. :confused: The commissionable sales come to more than the guest sales, which is throwing me for a loop. The math on the orders looks right but I keep wondering about those totals. I'm considering deleting the entire thing...
