Maybe I am wrong...but I am thinking that when a HOST buys the GUEST special, she is able to deduct the % that she earned from the show off of the guest special??

For example, I seem to recall that, in the past, during Stoneware 20% off for guests, that once the host used her FPV, she could a piece of stoneware at the 20% off guest price PLUS get whatever % off she earned depending on the level of sales? Am I recalling this correctly??

For May, would a host be able to take the % that she earned off the HWC guest items??

Also, can a past host apply her 10% phd discount off the HWC guest items?

Thanks!
 
Yes, you are correct. The host and past-hosts can apply their discounts to the HWC items.
 
Best part about PC! The host gets the same pricing as the guests but can include them at their discounted price or even free!

OK thanks! Wanted to make sure before I tell someone the wrong thing. :)
 
Also, those guest specials count toward the show total and commisonable sales, right?
 
Yes, they do, Nicole. This special is nice because there is no dollar limit involved or quantity problems.

The guest specials that guests purchase count toward the show total. If the host orders any of the guest specials, those are part of the host order and do not affect the show total (although it may count toward commissionable sales, if they're paying for it, not using free product credit).

Are there any exceptions to the discount policy for hosts?

How can hosts benefit from HWC guest items?

Hosts benefit from HWC guest items by being able to offer their guests exclusive products at a lower price, which can help increase attendance and sales at their party. Additionally, hosts can earn rewards based on the total sales generated during the event.

Can hosts purchase HWC guest items for themselves?
