Anyway I could get this flyer without the "St. Patrick's Day Special" on it? I have a vendor show tomorrow where I plan to show off the set and this would be great to have right along with it!

Thanks,
Karen
 
Karen do you want me to leave that area blank, change it to March 2012 Special, or something else. Also, PM me your e-mail and I'll send it directly to you, I've been having problems uploading to the site.
 
Kelly- you can email it to me again (cookingwithbobbi@gmail) and I can upload the new version for you. I didn't have any trouble the last time.
 
Ok. I'm kind of dense on this..lol. With this flyer, are you basically trying to get them to order the grill pan set (as an outside order) then add the $1 book to equal $150? So then would you mark it as a cooking show when you add their party to get the extra $15 in free product and the 15% off?

Sorry if that's a dumb question. I'm pretty new at this and still trying to learn different ways of doing things.

Yes, they buy the $149 Grill Pan set. You buy the $1 cookbook & now they qualify as a Catalog Show. They can now choose 1 60% off item from level 1 of the host flyer. Their "guest order" qualifies for the guest special (one of the leakproof containers that's on the March Guest Flyer) and all $150 Catalog Shows also get 15% off anything else the "host" wants. If the host spends $60 or more on the "host" order, they can get the guest special on that order too.The only difference in Cooking Show host benefits and Catalog Show host benefits is the extra $15 in free stuff to help compensate them for the cost of the groceries for the demo. It's not a cooking show if no one is buying groceries for a demo. It's a catalog show. ;)ETA: If they are a past host, they'll need to purchase more to get to the $149 level since they'll get 10% off that $149 price. Either way, they are a current host and get 10% off anything else they want for a year from THIS purchase. They'll get a new host number dated March 2012.
 
So they have to put in two orders? One for the grill pan/book and then a guest order?

No. The grill pan & the SBRC is the guest order of $150 which makes it a show so that they can have the guest special & the host benefits for a $150 show.
 
Yes, pckellyd! Can you email the print version to me? Thanks for taking the time to do that with Sheila's creation! :)

My email is: [email protected]

So do you put both the host order and the guest order under their name? Sorry if this is stupid.:confused:
 
thanks for ur hard work! :)
 
Anybody? I have several interested so I don't want to do it wrong.
 
Hi Larissa,

it's not a stupid question. Yes, you will have a party where "Susie Smith" is the host. "Susie Smith" is also the only guest who is buying the Grill Pan set and a SB (which you put that price in as $1 + tax Consultant Gift). Don't forget to ask them which LPGC they want for free too. (They get their choice of the 1½ cup, 3 cup, or 5¼ cup)

Anything they want beyond the grill pan set would go under the "host" order and they would get 15% off. They will also be able to choose any item from level 1 as the host. If they spend $60 or more, they can also get the free guest special.
 
Thank you, Jane. That's how I was figuring it would work but I wanted to be sure.

You do a catalog show with the grill pan set, the SBRC & the guest special as a guest order, then whatever else they want under the host order.

I used to know a red headed Larissa in Conroe, TX ~ your screen name makes me wonder if you are her?

Yes, I figured that part out, I just wasn't sure if I was supposed to put the person's name twice. Once as host and once as guest. Is that correct?
 
Thank you! Up on my Facebook page now :)

LOL I've only ever met ONE Larissa & since she was also in Texas I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. ;)
