I am $50 short for my $200 minimum sales for 2 months. I have a shower show tomorrow, but I don't know if the bride is going to close tomorrow. Can I turn it in before the 5th of Oct and still make my requirment if it is entered for the month of Sept? Or does it have to be in by the 30th to keep my status even though it's a Sept show?
 
It has to be in by the end of the calendar month. You can go online to Managing Your Business > Home Office Contacts > Home Office Emails and request a waiver. I believe if you get the $200 in by the end of the month they don't use the waiver.
 
Submit a $50 individual order.

Yeah.

Do some of your Christmas shopping. Or is someone's birthday coming up? Just make sure you submit it in the recipient's name or it won't count toward the $200 you need.
 
Hi there! I understand your concern about reaching the minimum sales requirement for two months. It can be stressful when unexpected situations like this arise. In regards to your question, the show does need to be entered by the 30th in order to count towards your September sales. However, if the bride does close the show tomorrow, you can still turn in the order before October 5th and it will count towards your October sales. I recommend reaching out to the bride and encouraging her to close the show as soon as possible so that you can reach your minimum sales requirement for both months. In the future, it may be helpful to plan ahead and have a backup plan in case of any last-minute changes. Best of luck with your show tomorrow!
