I have a fundraiser on Thurs evening. Do I let them place an order for things that are 'on hold'? For example the Deep Dish Baker, 12 Cup Muffin Pan, Rectangular Baker? Will it let me submit the show with these items or should I tell people that those items will not be available until after...

I have five or six packages of the holiday mini catalogs left (unopened). Is there anyone that could use them before Christmas? I would sell them for $2.00/package plus shipping.

I've adjusted the booth handouts that are floating around the board here and thought I'd share it for those of you planning booths over the holiday season! The first half of the page is the front, second half of the page is the back.

I have a question concerning the "holiday gifts" in the catalog. Certain products, such as the Trifle Bowl, are also sold under "the entertainer." Are these two items the same exact product? Or does the entertainer not come with the stand or lid? What is the difference between "holiday gifts"...

Has anyone come up with an insert for the Holiday Mini Catalog yet? I'm looking for something about last minute orders, outlet, etc. Maybe upcoming host specials for Jan/Feb. Thank you in advance:chef:

So, I had an event. it was a holiday open house. There were 16 other vendors, mostly craft things, fresh honey, a jewelry consultant, and such. Well, it was clear that people were to buy that night from me. Well, it was a total flop. Two orders all night... and it was two friends that bought the...

A Truckers Story. If this doesn't light your fire...your wood is wet! I try not to be biased, but I had my doubts about hiring Stevie. His placement counselor assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. But I had never had a mentally handicapped employee and wasn't sure I wanted...

HI everyone! I need to take a pampered chef recipe to a meeting. I was thinking of making a holiday/christmas dessert. I have the new holiday dessert cookbook but nothing really reached out and grabbed me. Does anyone have any suggestions for a fairly easy PC Xmas/holiday dessert. Thanks!

There is a fair asking for vendors about 60 miles and 2 toll bridges from me. Would you go that far for leads? I'm not sure I want to be driving that far for shows. How far is too far away?

I am desperately needing catalogs for my Holiday Open House on Sat Nov 15th. I'm afraid that if I order them through HO that they won't arrive in time. I'm down to minis and one I have in my consultant catalog tote. I emailed my director but she hasn't responded to me about catalogs. Does anyone...

Last night I participated in a Holiday Shopping Extravaganza in our small town with other DS companies. There were 10 booths and we all summoned our local contacts to come shop. It was a great success! I left with $1287.00 in sales and 3 bookings. My sales were DOUBLE what I did last year...
