One more cent.... keep in mind that when potential hosts give excuses, it's because they either need more information about what it really means to have a show (some have preconceived ideas, or they have been to a show where the host went overboard). But again, instead of trying to overcome the...

Here's my two cents... it's just that, an excuse. There is something holding them back. Our job is not to talk them into anything, but to inform them and let them talk themselves into a show. Next time someone says "no one cooks anymore" ask them "Really? What makes you say that? Do you...

I wouldn't worry too much about a door prize. What you could do is when guests come by your table, tell them that you offer a monthly newsletter or recipe via email and ask if they would like to be on your email list. Most will say yes. Then, you can tell them that you are also doing a...

Sorry, one more thing. You are not being pushy especially when they are expressing interest in purchasing products. You are providing them a service. A way of purchasing the products they need and want. :)

BTW, the monthly drawing is anything from free shipping to a spatula, season's best, coupons for 10%, 15%, basically the things we use as prizes for our shows. I'm all about keeping the store not giving away the store. The idea is to have an excuse to contact them again as a way of opening the...

If you are handing out a catalog to someone while running errands, have a post-it attached to every catalog. As you are handing them the catalog you can say "you know, I'd love to add you to my e-newsletter that I send out every month to my customers. I list the monthly specials as well as new...

I'm thinking Disney World also!

It's only 9:00ish on the west coast. Read some of the posts and you'll get a real good idea of the trip.

Ahhh, I see. Thanks for the clarification fluffy215. Still a bummer for me, but I am excited for those who have never been there! Good luck to all and thanks again for the clues! :)

That's correct. Usually there are more than one choices at different levels. However, if it's one particular trip (Fluffy215 mentioned Florida....) then they could have different levels that would include several destinations within that trip.

I think I'm getting this. If it's what I think it is, downer for me cause we go there twice a year anyway for cheer competitions.

One Trip, different levels? That's different. Thanks for the clues! :)

Thanks for the clues on one of the trips at least! :)

Wasn't able to make our meeting either. My Director is 5 hours away and is not answering her phone! uggggh!!! When will we get to see postings about the trip? I'm dying to know!

I don't wear jewelry but my friend keeps talking up this company. I would easily spend money on stoneware, not on jewelry. Thanks!
