Has anyone tried having guests fill out a Christmas Wish List, collect them and then mailing them with an explanation letter to their spouse or boyfriend? Any luck with this? I read about this somewhere and thought of trying it for some added sales, since men don't usually like to shop and like easy answers. Just wondering . . .
 
My director gave me a wish list to put into my guest folders. I think I will just let the guest fill them out and give them to their s/o.
 
I have not tried it yet but I did create a wish list that would include the information needed to contact the family member.

Thanks, tlenn!! I had planned to start doing this at my shows this month.
 
All right computer whiz,

You are the queen of flyers! and converting flyers;) Thanks!
I advertised sharing wish lists with spouses last year.....didn't have too many takers. But I did have one dh buy his wife the Gen2 cookware set she wanted! So that order alone was worth it! She was pleasantly surprised too!
 
I like that a lot Lisa. Much less complicated than the one I had found.
 
I'm thinking we should use this year round and also contact spouses at birthdays and anniversaries not just holidays. Offering to gift wrap and maybe gift "basket" it with various pantry items, cookbooks, soaps, and lotions. It's "pamper your wife", maybe suggesting he add a massage or facial gift certificate and he has an ideal gift with little work that he knows his wife will like.

The greyed out items are headers and footers. Double-click the header and it'll open the headers and footers for editing. When you're done, click "close" on the little pop-up tool bar.
 
Thanks ann. I'll be so happy when I get my mac tomorrow, I will know the programs better then i know this computer. Sad to find out I won't be able to use my pp right away. Tell me more about this boot camp, please.
 
Thanks tlenn! I just cut the page in half. I even put it on green paper :) I think it might still be too early here in TX. It's still in the 80s here!

I have thought the same thing about other occasions year round. I am thinking of doing a prize drawing for ppl to send me their birthdate and anniversary...maybe I will do it in January for New Year's. If anything, I can send them a little note or email and they'll be wowed by the customer service!
 
It got into the 30s here this past weekend with frost I believe.

That is a great idea. Maybe with a "birthday freebie" or an additional 10% discount of any order placed during their birthday month.

Brooke, I sent you a private message so as not to hijack this thread.
 
Boy do I wish I could open files. I still haven't figured out the problem. I used to love this site but not when I can't open anything.

You've tried right-clicking over the file, select "save target as", downloading it to your hard-drive and then opening it there?

If that is not working then email me with the names of the files you want and i'll send them to you.
 
change grey bar...

just double click in the area, and make changes, sometimes, or most times a dotted box will appear until you're finished, hope that helps :)
