Hi, I am new at this and I wanted to do a Catalogue Show at my husbands work. Can someone tell me how to do this type of show and any tips? I looked in RFS but couldn't find information in there.

Thanks

Misty
 
Catalog shows are very easy, just hand out the catalogs and order forms, make sure to host coach them the way you would a cooking show so they can get higher sales. with a catalog show they dont get free products until they hit 200 in sales and it is less then cooking shows due to the 15 they get for hosting in thier home. It will tell youy in the back of the catalog what they get. I hope this makes sense
 
I meant to mention that you might also want to do a mystery host for the catalog show. People get a ticket for placing orders over $60, 2 tickets for over $100, and 3 tickets for booking a show, and explain that the mystery host will get to order one of the forged knives at over 60% off as well as freebies and possible discounts.

thanksWow, you are a wealth of information! Thanks so so much for all the information and the Docs. One question - when I use the outside order form, what do I give them as a receipt?
Thanks

Thanks

You can either print one on the reciepts from PC that are for your computer, they are blank with sales receipt on the top and the buyer's right to cancel on the back. You should have gotten some of these when you started or got your change over kit.

Or you can write on a normal order form after and give them their copy or give it to the host to give to them.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Catalogue Show and how does it work?

A Catalogue Show is a type of direct sales event where products are showcased through a catalogue rather than a live demonstration. Hostesses collect orders from friends and family over a set period, typically one to two weeks. The orders are then submitted to the consultant, who processes them and delivers the products to the hostess for distribution.

How can I promote my Catalogue Show effectively?

Promoting your Catalogue Show can be done through various channels. Utilize social media platforms to share your event details, create an event page, and post engaging content about the products. Additionally, consider sending out personal invitations via email or text, and encourage your hostess to reach out to her network. Offering incentives, such as a raffle for participants, can also boost interest.

What are some tips for setting up a successful Catalogue Show?

To set up a successful Catalogue Show, start by selecting a well-organized catalogue that highlights popular products. Create a visually appealing display if possible, even if it’s virtual. Provide clear instructions on how to place orders and include information about any special promotions. Ensure that you follow up with guests to remind them of the event and answer any questions they may have.

How can I engage guests during a Catalogue Show?

Engagement can be achieved through interactive elements such as games, quizzes, or product demonstrations via video. Encourage guests to ask questions and share their experiences with the products. Consider hosting a live Q&A session or a virtual party where you can showcase certain items in more detail, making the event feel more personal and interactive.

What are some common mistakes to avoid during a Catalogue Show?

Common mistakes include not promoting the event enough, failing to follow up with guests, and not providing clear ordering instructions. Additionally, avoid overwhelming guests with too much information at once; instead, focus on a few key products and their benefits. Lastly, ensure that you are available to answer questions and provide support throughout the ordering process to enhance customer satisfaction.
