I have a customer who booked 2 shows from me. A cooking show and a fundraiser cooking show.
She just called me and asked me to make them both fundraiser shows. Does this affect anything for me? I know it affects their incentives, but what else is different.
 
Your commission is different. You get less. Is there a reason she doesnt want FREE products? Personally I think you get more when you have a cooking show. The % that goes to the fundraiser, I think personally is low. This way if she does a cooking show (where people generally spend more) she can get free products and perhaps make the products into gift baskets and raffle them off that way (and get more money).

She is doing the fundraiser for March of Dimes. It is very close to her because she has a daughter who was 8 weeks pre mature. She has tons of health and development problems. So she said she would rather all the money go towards the cause. I understand that completely, but am trying to think of a way to sway her into keeping the cooking show.
How much less is the commission?
 
Your commission per dollar sold is lower with a fundraiser but potential for high sales makes that up and you are potentially getting your name out to way more people. I always use them to get bookings. PC gives the group $3 for each booking and I give them $$ when the bookings are held - depending on the sales at the show when it is held. They love the extra donation coming in later and the new host loves that she is getting tons of products free and is helping her group.
 
Why is she not doing them as 1 fundraiser? That way she can acheive the higher pecentage easier.

She wanted to do one closer to the event. Thats in April. Then She has a cooking show scheduled for the 8th of march. I guess cause she already has them booked, she wanted to keep both. I have to call her, but wanted to know the difference first. Some of the same people will be at both. But I think she wants a more personal show first. The the fundraiser one was supposed to have 25-30 guests.
 
Sounds like a good plan! Can you book a fundraiser off a fundraiser? If so, that would give her an additional $3 for her April fundraiser.
