So if you host a show in January, the only way you can receive any benefits is by having $500 in guest sales? Is that correct? Will the show still count as long as you hit the $150 mark? Normally I'm not this confused...sorry:blushing:
 
The same benefits apply as a usual show. They get free stuff at each level they usually would. The bonus is when they hit $500 and they get extra free product value.
 
The show will still count at $150. The host can order stoneware at 20% off, and any past host can pick one piece of stoneware at 60%, but as far as host special--they've got to make it to $500. Hope that helps.
 
The only way a host receives the HOST SPECIAL benefits (extra free products) is by reaching $500 in sales. They still receive all of the regular host benefits of hosting a show as long as they reach at least $150 in sales. So, it's in every hosts' best interest to reach at least $500, however, they'll still get free and discounted stuff for hosting a show that is between $150 - $499. Make sense?

Very helpful!!!! Thank you!
 
I'm confused as well. I thought I heard/read somewhere that if a show didn't get to $500 the host could choose 1 piece of stoneware at 60% off... but now I can't find the numbers for it. Anybody else heard this as well?
 
Alison-
Nope that is only the deal for the past host that the show was booked from. (the booking benefit)

That is the special past-host bonus - but on a couple different threads, people were talking about offering it to their hosts as well. (If they don't reach the $500 mark) If they did that though, it would be their own special, and they would be paying the difference.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the host benefits for a Pampered Chef party?

When you host a Pampered Chef party, you can earn a variety of benefits based on the total guest sales. Typically, for every $200 in guest sales, you earn a percentage in free products, discounts, and exclusive items. The more sales you have, the greater your rewards!

How do I calculate my host benefits based on guest sales?

Your host benefits are calculated based on the total sales made by your guests during the party. For example, if your party generates $500 in sales, you will receive a set percentage of that amount in free products, along with additional discounts and special offers.

What happens if my guest sales are $150 instead of $500?

If your guest sales total $150, your host benefits will be significantly lower than if they were $500. Typically, you would earn a smaller amount of free products and fewer discounts. It's important to encourage your guests to purchase to maximize your benefits!

Can I still earn host benefits if my sales are below $500?

Yes, you can still earn host benefits even if your guest sales are below $500. However, the benefits will be scaled down according to the total sales amount. Every dollar counts, and you can still enjoy free products and discounts based on the sales achieved.

How can I increase my guest sales to maximize host benefits?

To increase guest sales, consider inviting more friends and family, promoting your party on social media, and offering incentives for guests to purchase. You can also showcase popular products and share recipes or cooking tips to engage your guests and encourage them to buy more.
