Already went that route! Got a couple orders from them..I'm going to call my dentist office and see if anyone wants anything! I"m desperate! LOL
 
You'll do it!! $73, I have every ounce of confidence that you'll do it!!:D
 
I'm sorry, I wish I could help! I scrounged everything I could earlier in the month!! Good luck, I hope you make it!!

Send out an email to everyone and offer a discount or something! You just never know!
 
Made any customer care calls lately?? "Let me me help you with your holiday shopping...I have a great idea for a ..."

I think I"m going to work on that tonight! I just emailed my friend who works in a travel agency and also my stepson's mother who works in a bank..I can't imagine that that small of an amount would be hard to get, but I already ran a sale last weekend and got over $200 in orders, so I have pretty much exhausted my past hosts. But I am planning on calling some past guests and running it by them to see if they want anything for the holidays!
I'm stressed! ha ha
I've never gotten past $2500.00 in sales and now I'm obsessed! Especially w/ SAT!
 
Do you have any kids? You could talk to their teachers too. Also, what about gifts for people in your family from you. You could add them to your host's order? Just an idea.
 
If you have a personal website, let people know what's on it and offer to put in one order to save shipping. First time I did it, I got TONS of orders! You DO have to put it in by the end of the month though.
 
If it comes down to it, $73 is still less than what 1/2 price would be to purchase products on the sample order in the spring. If the difference between $1,500 SAT & $3,000 SAT is $200, then 1/2 of that would be $100. I'd think seriously about ordering something before letting the end of the month go by. ;)
 
You have until Dec 5 to get that in , send out an e-mail or call all of your past host that can get 10% off
that means 30% off for them on SA Nov guest specials GREAT ENTERTAINING PRODUCTS FOR THEM

Small bowls filled with Hershey's Hugs are a cute teacher gift~you could buy them for the teachers, bus driver, beautician, nail stylist, the teller at the bank....you get the idea! bE SURE TO ATTACH YOUR BUSINESS CARD AND WHO KNOW WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS COULD COME FROM NEEDING JUST $73!!!

didn't mean to yell, I mistakenly hit caps lock and didn't want to retype this!:blushing:

I like this idea too! However, prep bowls are less expensive per person and after getting 4 sets you've spent $80 and may be able to use what you dont use this year, next year. Just a suggestion....


BTW, I didnt think you were yelling. But I did think that it was funny that I'm not the only one who hits the caps lock and is too lazy to retype it all....

oooooh love the Prep Bowls scenario~I guess the reason my brain went to the SA small bowls was b/c they are on sale...more bang for the buck, I guess! I bought cookbooks for all of the teachers when they were on sale in Sept and I think I'll have to do the prep bowls in addition. I think you could fill them with bath salts for everyone!

Oh boy, I just got an email for $21.50! Only $51.50 to go! LOL :D
 
I honestly wish I was doing as well as you. Congrats! You can do it!

Last week, I was $50 away from turning in a show. It was to be the first of four in my first 30 days, and some of my customers wanted stuff by Turkey Day. Well, when I had just about given up and resigned myself to turning in those $100 in orders onto someone elses party, a friend from Candada contacted me and asked if she could have an order shipped to her folks house while she was there for Turkey Day.

The order was for $61, and it was direct-shipped within 3 days! Good thing, because I also learned that PC does not direct-ship to Canada.
 
I am 23 dollars away from a show ARG I cant seem to get one order this week. Though I just sent out all of my e mails and lets see what happens tomorrow. I submit tomorrow one way or another.
 
I think we're all there. I'm at my most ever this month. I had a catalog show who decided to do January instead, and one show reschedule, so I'm off by $500.04 from $3000. I'm sending out catalogs to some clients that are big spenders with some incentives. I have a bazaar this week that may bring in some more sales. I also have a cooking show that canceled, AFTER I sent out the invites. I have all the phone numbers, so I'm going to call and let them know that the show was cancelled, but they can still place orders for a catalog show. We'll see what I can collect by the 5th. I'd love to have it all!
 
I just spent abot $70 on my own show to put me over the $1500 mark for the month. I'll use the items for when I work craft fairs. Somebody's always wanting something they can buy and walk away with.

I made it!Well, I just closed out my last show tonight and it turns out I didn't even need that extra in sales (which I got this week, minus about $9!)..my host that I closed out ordered a TON of prouducts and she more than made up what I needed at the beginning of the week! I can finally settle down now and close the books on November! Thank you all so much for all your ideas and encouragement!

Nothing like a little unnecessary stress :cry: to get the blood pumping! :sing: Congrats! I'm sure you'll love the new products...once we find out what they are! HA!

:D Be proud of yourself...you made the mark minus $9 (excluding the show of course)...you certainly made me get off my duff and make customer care calls!
 
That's great! I'm glad it worked out for you!! :D
 
Glad everything turned out good for you!!

Wahooo! Great job, I had a show last week where the guest sales were $1150, but it closed at over 1400.00! Her order was HUGE! She bought all kinds of SA, and her 1/2 price items were the exec cookware- both sets, all the forged cutlery, 12 inch exec skillet. and something else big, can't think of it now, her order alone was almost 1000.00! I LOVE HOSTS LIKE THAT!:love:
