What is mystery host: Definition and 172 Discussions

Hi All - I had a mystery host show on Friday night. My winner placed a $100 order prior to me pulling the MH of course, and now she's won $140 worth of free product. So I'm thinking I can't put her name in as a host AND a guest. So do I use an Alias as the host? (I figure I can always...

Hi, Everyone! I was just wondering how to do this... I am having my grand opening this weekend and they are both mystery host shows. In PP Plus, do I enter the host's name and then my address for the shipping. (The reason why I ask, is that the people that are coming are my friends and...

I'm so nervous! :eek: I have not done my own show, let alone a Mystery Host Party. I made up flyers and sent out emails today to about 60 people. I already have one yes. I hope I don't forget anything. Any advice? I attached the flyer

Does this sound o.k.? Whose name do I put this under and how does it work with receipts? I'm off to search the forum. Here's the letter I have so far. Happy Holidays! I have a couple of great opportunities for you to bring in the New Year with Pampered Chef! January is looking to be...

i was thinking of doing a mystery host catalog show this month but i am uncertain of how it will work being i just had a cookie exchange party so what does every one do? should i or not? need your opinion.

I'm thinking ahead for double points and discontinued items. So, here they are. ;)

OK, my November $1K Mystery Host show is $1500 with just 7 participants and I'm trying desperately to get it all input. Now I'm finding out that I can only use max of 2 credit cards to pay for the host order, while 6 of my 7 hosts gave me card #s. :eek: I need suggestions on how to balance...

Can someone please explain to me what a Mystery Host is and how it works? I keep seeing threads about it but I have no idea what & how it's done. Any info would be great. If you have any files/forms I can print out too that would be awesome. Thanks for you help!!

I decided to have a mystery host appreciation party for my mystery hosts for my catty show. We're going to draw for host benefits then, as well as some other prizes/fun little gifts. I'm hoping it's more of a "party", where we all mingle, hang out, and have fun...if that makes sense. I'm...

I need help...I'm about to run a drawing for my mystery host show but I'm not sure how to handle a possible outcome. I have two orders from customers that are out of state. If one of them wins the drawing...how do I enter the order in P3 so that the items are shipped to them but the rest of the...

I want to do a Mystery Host Catalog show for November. I have found several flyers on here but I just want to email text to my customers not an attachment. Does anything have anything already typed up?

I have been reading many different threads as I'm getting ready to try my first Mystery Host party in November. I really need to know where you all get your tickets. Do you print them? Do you buy them and if so where? I live in the wide open spaces of ND and don't have great access to...

I am planning to do a mystery host show this month, since I am having trouble getting bookings, and I need to jump start my sales. I am wondering how long you usually have your mystery host shows last (those of you who have done them)? Thanks, Trina

Does anyone have a November Mystery Host flyer made up that they'd be willing to share? I have quite a few booths and open houses for October, and was thinking about doing my first mystery host show in November being as it is sell-a-thon month. If it goes well, I may do another one in January...

Hey Everyone, I'm a new consuultant... I've read about the pamper your business idea, and I think it's a brilliant idea to increase sale and get more booking. I'm just wondering..Has anyone ever tried to combine the idea of pamper your business and mystery host together? I might be another...

I sent out my email asking for participants for a Mystery Host show the month I have my baby. I got 2 responses. I was thinking of sending something out as a reminder that says "Only 3 more spots available". The thing is, I kinda hate to lie to my customers. Also, if I let the 2 people who...

I just sent out the email for my Maternity Leave Mystery Host Catalog Show. I feel worried, it only went out to 65 people, and to get 10 to respond seems unlikely. So, please cross your fingers for me. On a very good note, I am doing well booking up my November calendar to get me...

Is there anyone out there that would mind making up the $1K Mystery host catalog show flyer for November? I would appreciate it very much! TIA!

I don't usually have a lot of time to post - Does anyone know about how long the Bamboo bowl is on backorder? I have a mystery host show next weekend I'd love to showcase the bowl!

Does anyone have a September Mystery Host flyer that they are willing to share?? :chef: Thanks so much :)

Hello Everyone... I'm putting together a mystery host show for August to try and have a nice big end to the Spring/Summer season and thought I'd post a flyer I modified (original from chefkrisb) with different benefits for more bookings or bigger sales... I hope it goes well... I have 5...

OK. I hate to whine...but here I go! I sent out Linda's amazing email back at the beginning of the month. Ended up with only 6 takers. Out of those 6...I have had to HUNT DOWN 5. Only my one friend (graduated HS with her, she lives out of state) actually DID WHAT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO...

How do you set up a show on PWS for Mystery host? I have 3 people that want to collect some orders online. If I list each person individually, I won't be able to combine them later will I? What is the best way to do this? Thanks Becky

I forgot to post the Word versions for July and August!:eek: Here they are! Good luck!

Okay Becky's thread is getting LOOOONG!! I thought it would be easy for us that are participating in July to have our own thread on it. Thank you BECKY for posting it and thank you to EVERYONE who posted their results. It's extremely exciting & inspiring to see your results!! Here's what...

I'm hosting a Grand Opening that will be a Mystery Host party. My question is this - when do you do the draw for the host benefits. Before the orders are written down or after? I don't want people to get discouraged and order nothing if they don't win (thus making it a crappy prize for the...

I didn't want to thread-jack the other post so I created a new thread. But I've been totally lurking on that thread and decided that this is what I needed to do for the month of July to really get my business off the ground. I realize that most everyone else used the client base that they...

So, I was thinking of holding a mystery host party when the new fall line up comes out... Question, do you choose the mystery hosts after they place their orders or before?

To help with sales this month, I would love to do a "Mom and Me" interactive cooking show for each of my children and their friends. Childrens ages are 8 and 13 and the shows will be done on 2 different nights. I also thought it would be nice to have a "mystery host" and give the host benefits...
