What can I do to help my friend reach her $150 budget for my catalog show?

A good friend of mine agreed to do a catalog show..... (this is only my 2nd show) Anyway - she only has about $100. What do I do?? Do I buy stuff to bump it up to the $150 for her?? HELP!! No clue what to do now.....

NO. Do NOT spend your own money.

Call her and tell her she needs $50 more in orders for it to be submitted as a show and for her to earn any hostess benefits. Otherwise you can submit it all as one big individual order.

No. Don't spend your own money. Give her a chance to get some more sales by calling and telling her.

Hi there! First of all, congratulations on booking your second show! That's great news. As for your friend's budget, don't worry too much about reaching the $150 mark. Remember, the most important thing is that your friend is supporting you and your business by hosting a show. That being said, there are a few things you can do to help her reach that goal. You can suggest adding a few items to her order that are lower in price, or even offer to throw in a free gift for her if she reaches the $150 mark. You can also remind her that by reaching that goal, she will earn more free and discounted products. Ultimately, the decision is up to your friend and what she is comfortable with. Just be sure to thank her for her support and let her know that any amount is appreciated. Good luck with your show!
