I am a new consultant and May is my super starter month. I am confused on what a "mystery host" is??? Could you explain it to me? And all those discounts you are giving, with half priced items and 5% discount. How do you do all that? Do you have to pay the difference? How do you do it in Pampered Partner? Sorry, I'm just a little confused on some of these things.
I think your flyer looks nice, seems like a good idea.

A mystery host show is when you have an open house or email show and

A mystery host show is when you have an open house or email show and no one is the host. You give chances for the buying guests to receive the host benefits.

When you give additional benefits (like discounts or a free stone), you are "eating" those costs. You are paying for those discounts or free items. It is a nice incentive to use occassionally.

Here is an example of how you might use the discounts in a mystery host show. I used this for the Super Bowl email show I had. The documents are attached.

Super Bowl Mystery Hostess Phone-In Show

You are invited to participate in a Super Bowl Mystery Hostess Show!
Could YOU be the Mystery Hostess??

Place a phone order with me on Sunday February 6, 2005
and earn discount as follows:

Call During Receive
1st quarter 15% discount
2nd quarter 10% discount
Half-time 5% discount
3rd quarter 15% discount
4th quarter 5% discount

Reminder that past hostesses (within the last 12 months) will also receive their 10% past host discount!

Guest special for February is: purchase $50 or more and receive our Classic (Large) Batter Bowl Free!

You will receive one ticket stub when you call to place an order during the game. Monday evening (February 7th) I will draw a ticket and that lucky person will be the "Mystery Hostess".

EARN EXTRA TICKETS TO BE PLACED IN THE DRAWING AS FOLLOWS:
Product order $50 or greater (after past host discount) = 5 extra ticket
Product order $75 or greater (after past host discount)= 10 extra tickets
Schedule an upcoming show (February) = 20 extra tickets
Schedule an upcoming show (March/April) = 15 extra tickets

Ginger,
I'm curious- how did the superbowl mystery host show work our for you? Did you have alot of people call in? Its a really neat idea. I like the idea of people calling me to order.

I do the Super Bowl Mystery Host every year. It works well, but I promote it well with emails. I send out the info via email and I also send it via mail to some people. A few days before I send out recipes they can make for their Super Bowl party and a reminder. The morning of I also send out a reminder. I get a few hundred dollars in orders.

Postcard

I think the postcard looks great... very professional.

If you are trying to get bookings, I would have left the Mystery Host part off. It almost gives them an "out" to booking a show.

You can always do the Mystery Host party separate... distribute to a different neighborhood, set of people, etc.

Great job on the postcard!
