April 15th Show: No Sales Tax DPDS Prize & Funny Recipe Ideas!

[DebbieJ]

I have a show on April 15th.

Any ideas?

I will probably give away no sales tax as DPDS prize.

Any recipe ideas that we could give funny names?

I am giving away half of my commission .....by offering tax free for all guests! Only because I really want to earn the mid-season products, and this was my incentive to book a show, and close it that night....

I have one that day too! I thought about the tax free idea as well, but I think using it as a DPDS idea is great so that I can actually make a little money!

I also offered it as a "tax free" day and instantly got a booking. I am only offering it to those AT THE SHOW. I am trying to come up with a couple incentive ideas for June 14 (flag day) and June 21 (1st day of summer). Any ideas?

I am also offering the tax free to guests at the show as well!

hmmm....for June 14, not sure.... but for June 21....maybe do free shipping on your order (no direct shipping) if it contains a chillzanne? (and hopefully they wouldn't order just the mini-bowl!)

I have a show on the 15th too... although I haven't been able to get her to cal me back!!
But this year the tax deadline is the 17th...so maybe even those who have a show that day could do something..
I did offer tax free on the tax free day before school started last August...for those who's order was $60 or more...trying to boost sales..I don't know if it was just that show, or if it truly didn't work...only one person did it..

Flag Day on June 14th I was trying to come up with some type of red/white/blue incentive or something with stars. OH what about...making 50 stars (50 states) and every guest at the show draws one. Each star you open up and there is a special inside each one. Could be a discount, a free gift, free shipping, etc. OH ... I think that might work. What do you think?

 

[pkd09]

OK ... my mind is working on this idea. I could call it "The Stars Are Out". Another offer could be a Free Cooking Show.

Awesome idea!

Also.. I like giving my guest a reason to make her reminder calls...instead of just calling and saying "Are you coming?" or "Don't forget to call"....
So a few days before her show when I call her...I'll tell her we can have a "Sorry Spatula contest" or "Pitiful Potholder contest"...etc...
For flag day...you could have the host make her reminder calls and say..."Anyone wearing a flag t-shirt or red/white/ blue gets a prize."

???

I am having free tax day on the 15th for people who are at the show only. On June 21st I am having a Women's night out that I am organizing as a way to celebrate the beginning of Summer. My last vendor event that I organized was a huge success so I can only hope for that one more time!
