Catalog Show- Guests in 2 States..help!!!

[beckybell27]

I'm very new to pampered chef. I currently have a host in VA who is doing really well on her catalog show. She has an equal number of ordering customers in VA and in CT ( where I am located... and most of her family is here as well)

I'm trying to find a way that her guests that live in CT do not have to pay direct shipping charges...
Is there a way that I can have the items shipped to me and distribute them to her family. Can I be set up as a co-host?? Has anyone tried this?? Does anyone have any ideas on how I can help people avoid the higher shipping costs..

Any Help you could all provide ..

Your best bet is to split it into two separate shows if you have at least $150 at each location/state where you want items sent.Even if you were to list someone else as co-host, the $4.50 shipping is only for one location, so that won't help here. Splitting a show, however, lowers the overall host benefits a bit compared to submitting it all as one show.

No you cannot be a co-host. Have you talked to your host about this? Most people will understand the shipping cost and shouldn't have a problem. You maybe worrying about something that doesn't even matter.

No co-hosts allowed on catalog shows. P3 won't let you do it. Even if you split it into 2 catalog shows with the CT orders on one and the VA orders on another, the host benefits will go to CT and not to her in VA. The people in CT may not care what their shipping is since they realize she's in VA.

Hello Becky,Welcome to the Pampered Chef family! It's great to hear that your host in VA is doing well with her catalog show. As for your question about shipping, you can definitely set up a co-host arrangement with your host in VA. This way, you can have the items shipped to you and then distribute them to her family in CT. This will help avoid the higher shipping costs for her guests in CT.Another option is to suggest a virtual party, where your host can invite her family in CT to order through her party link. This way, their orders will be included in her party and they won't have to pay direct shipping charges.I hope these ideas help! Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with.Best,
