My SIL is doing a Catalog show, and she wants to do the November Host/Guest special.

My question is- if I send her the packets by the last week of October, I know I can give her November OOF, but what about my website? If someone were to go on my PWS on say Oct 31st to place an order- if the catalog show she's ordering under is a November show, will it give her the November stone discount? or will that only work after Nov 1st?

I don't want to mess it up and send them too soon and someone do an order and not get the right prices. If so, I'll just wait and she'll start it a week later.

Thanks.
 
Set it up on your website as a catalog show and date it November 1st. The guest specials will show up as stoneware. They can order now, but get the Nov. special.
 
I am pretty sure that it will give her the November special, because she'll be ordering it under the show so that says when the order is. It is just like any of your November shows that get their catalogs early and get outside orders, they use the special for when their show is not when the date is they're taking the order. I could be wrong, I'm still under a year here and haven't had a lot of catalog orders, but I'm fairly certain it's correct.Oops, I was typing while you posted... what she said!

Perfect!! Thanks! I was hoping it would work that way.
 


Hi there!

I'm glad to hear your sister-in-law is hosting a catalog show and that you are being so thoughtful about the timing of your packets and website updates. It's always important to make sure your customers are getting the best deals possible!

To answer your question, your website should automatically update to reflect the November host/guest special starting on November 1st. If someone were to place an order on October 31st, they would still receive the October specials. However, if they were to place an order on November 1st or later, they would receive the November specials.

I understand your concern about potentially sending the packets too early and causing confusion for your customers. If you would feel more comfortable waiting until the beginning of November to send the packets, that is definitely an option. Your sister-in-law can always start her show a week later to ensure that her guests are getting the correct discounts.

Thank you for being such a conscientious consultant and always looking out for your customers' best interests. I'm sure your sister-in-law and her guests will appreciate your attention to detail. Happy selling!
