Hey all, I have a show scheduled for this Friday . . . I think!! She is a contact I have from a fair I did at our mall in October. I set the date with her back at the beginning of November & told her I would mail her the host packet--why, oh why, did I not ask if I could BRING it over?! I...

Magic Word GameI discovered a really great way to reign in talking guests at my last show--pretty much by accident! At the last minute, I decided to use a Magic Word Game because I felt the games I had planned might be too long to use both. The Magic Word was Chocolate because we were making...

Great Race Couple ShowI was looking for ideas for a couples show a few months ago & came across some ideas for a Great Race show, & everything was put together--instructions for the host, instructions for the guests at the party, broken down into shorter instructions & each placed in an...

Yummy, warm, chocolate cakeI have had GREAT success with the Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake--it's warm, elegant looking & very delicious! If you have the family-sized skillet, I think it will be a big hit for you.

Light recipesIn the Season's Best, there are recipes labeled "Light." The nutrition information is always listed too, so you can look for specific things.

Ha, Vicki, I saw your question & thought, "wow, that's the question I was just asking!" Didn't realize until I got into this thread to find the answer that you were the one who put it on here! Thanks for checking for me. :)

Holiday ideasI actually got on to see if I could find any holiday-theme ideas too. This is my first Christmas for doing shows, so my few ideas are not tested! I am planning to do a cookie swap with one show. My host is going to ask her guests to bring 6 baggies with 6 cookies each, & each...

"Book a Show today" is a good ideaI just did a booth at a craft fair at our mall last weekend (my first one). I think the grab bags might be worth a shot, but maybe someone else with more experience could tell you about that. I do think the sign "Book a show today & get a free (whatever)" is a...

Great advice!Thanks, Rita, for that advice. I tend to do exactly what you advised not to--that is, I read through this board & think, "oh wow, lots of great ideas!" & I try to do them all!! Definitely take that advice, Lisa! Even some of the newer consultants seem to have lots of great ideas...

Recipe to tryHey, I'm fairly new myself. When you get your starter kit (I hope you'll be getting it soon!), it will be suggested to try the Garden Ranch Pizza--everything you need to make it is in your starter kit, & there are detailed instructions for how best to present each tool in your kit...

WebsiteI'm still pretty new at this, but I think you could still have the website without a computer. You'll need to spend a little time on it initially to put everything you want on it, but it doesn't need to be checked every day. Then you'll want to change it every so often to reflect the...

That sounds fun, & different! Can't wait to hear how your show goes!

Any adviceMonica, & any others who have done booths at fairs & such, Can you give some advice on your plan of action at the fair? I'm doing a booth at our local mall's craft fair at the end of October with another consultant, & neither of us has ever done a booth before. What worked & what...

I'm in my second SS month now, & I got a website in Sept. When my sister did a catalog show for me last month, we sent out an e-mail to all of our far-away friends & relatives, & got two web orders from relatives in CA (my sister is in NJ, I live in VA). Pretty cool! Mainly, though, the most...

Hi, this is the first thread I've started, & actually the first day I've ever posted on this site, but I've been reading it since my recruiter recommended it to me. I have enjoyed all the input I've read, so I thought I'd ask a question of my own. Does anyone use referral cards? I thought I...
