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 andA 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.

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.

PostcardI 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!
