Can I Split a Show and Still Get the Benefits?

[MaddyandOwensMom]

I thought that at some point my director said that a show could be split and the host would get all the benefits regardless. Is this possible with a catty show? This is a $300+ show and if I split it to $150 a piece, I get the Heart Dish. However, then there is no FPV on the shows and of course no 1/2 price item, just the host special. Can I submit them as cooking shows so at least there is FPV? I've done that in the past as a favor to a host, but feel a little guilty about it and thought I shouldn't do it anymore. I do have a show on 12/15, but this is a past host who has shifted dates and months in the past so I don't want to count on it. Any ideas? This is all our family and friend gifts being shipped to my Mom so if it doesn't work out with FPV, it's not the end of the world. Just wanted to know!

I guess I"m not sure what your director would have been referring to. Because the host wouldn't get the same amount of benefits. I'd only split a show up like that if it was my personal show (like an open house that maybe I held on two separate days). Or sometimes I"ve had a host get enough outside orders to make it a catalog show all by itself and those people wanted their orders sooner than the ones from her actual Cooking Show. I don't remember if it decreased her benefits but she wanted the outside orders she got quite a while before her show submitted sooner so they could get them faster.

It would be very unfair to your host to split her show and it's against PC policy. Why not make some calls and put together a catalog show yourself?

If you are the host and have collected orders you can divide them into as many catalog shows* as you want but not shows of other hosts.


*to call any of those a cooking show you must demo in front of someone so if you did a fair or had an open house it could be sent in as a cooking show - but if you divided that show the second one would be a catalog show.

yeah. prolly not the most "ethical' of decisions... I will admit I have done this once in the past (submitting a catalog show as a cooking show) and felt really bad about it and will not do it again.

Nope that is what the promotion is. She was asking if she could make 1 show into 2 shows in case that is the only show she gets this month.

Oh, ok. I would do what was already suggested, host my own catalog show and get orders together.... I wouldn't want to hurt the host by splitting her show.

No, I would never split a real hosts show just for the promotion, no matter how cute that dish is! It's a family catty show that my mom is helping me with so she doesn't care if she gets benefits or not (I give her freebies all the time!). I just didn't know what the deal was. I'm trying to recall exactly what my director was talking about when she mentioned splitting a show. The more I thought about it, the more I think she was telling someone NOT to do it (I beleive the person was trying to qualify with four shows and had only done two). I just wanted to make sure. I'll just put them in as two catty shows and get my dish and hope the other show goes through for $1200!!
