Are You Missing Out on the People Who Spend Money?

[pampered.chris]

The people that spend money are still out there!! Last night I did a party with about 13 in attendence. The hostess had 5 outside orders totalling $300 going into the party and with 13 there, she ended up with $650 when I left. I thought, 13 people and only $350??? What is going on?! She still has some more orders to collect and we will get together next Tuesday to close.
Tonight however....the hostess had about 14 in attendence and no outside orders and so far is at $600!! There were a few small orders but the main eye-poppers where the 2 orders for OVER $100 each!! They are still out there!! The people that spend money are still around!!

I do have to say that Monday night I got one booking and tonight I got 4!! All for February!!

What did I do different between tonight and last night?! The "Have it, Love it" game. I did it with tickets (someone suggested tickets instead of candy) and I put a twist on it that someone else mentioned by calling it, "Have it, Love it. Love it, Gotta Have it" The hostess passed out the tickets for me and the only thing I would do different is give everyone a wish list paper to write the items they want/love on before I start the game. (I don't hand out the folders with the books until the end. I want them to hear me and watch me and participate while I show the products, rather then them looking through the book and after I am done ask about 5 products I just showed.)

I am feeling REALLY great right now!!!

Double points!! Yeah!!!

One of my sister consultants has a show open that's currently at $1596. She offered a half-price stone (DCB not included) if the host had $250 in outside orders before the show, so that helped a bunch.

That is a GREAT idea!! I will have to consider more give-a-ways and such to help out with show sales. Wow, I would LOVE to have a $1600+ party right now!!

That's great! Congratulations.

I do have to say, I am still remembering the day where a show that had 14 guests at it would have the hostess over $1000 with no problem. But unfortunately I haven't seen those days in quite some time.

But I am hoping they return!!

[chefsteph07]

Yes, they are out there!
I had a show 2 weeks ago and it closed at $940, I have a show currently open from last Friday and it's so far at 1,084 and she's not done w/ orders yet! Whoo hoo!

Way to go! I have a show open right now that is almost $500.00. I got 4 bookings in February off of it too.

Ok, just did a search. Does anyone have an outline of the "Have It Love It". I'm looking for any way to boost sales/bookings at my parties.

 

[Grandmarita]

Thanks for the positive feedback. So good to hear some lively activity at your parties.
I've just been contacting former hostess' and they are feeling the financial crunch. Your
post dispells all the doom and gloom.
