Sara,
If the order is to be attached to a show, then yes you need to enter into PP3, so it will be submitted with the show. However, if the order was an individual order - those are submitted to the HO and you do not have to do anything else.
I love my website and have received lots of orders from it. I hope this is the first of many for you.

I agree with Jackie. You just have to get the word out and make sure it is on everything.
I just had an order the other day because the person had my old business card. I have moved to another state and she got my phone number from there. She called and placed an order.
I have also been getting small orders lately and I think it is because I have been sending out more emails. (Pelting them for HWC) I usually get 0 but my hosts go on there to get the specials flyers and to help their guests by sending them to the online catalog.
I never know what I'm gonna get via online so I just keep it and hope for the best.

Just an idea to get people to your website...you can tell your guests at your show that the recipe your doing will be listed under my calender under"YOUR HOST" name on your website...so that if they want the recipe they HAVE to go to your website. I used to print out the recipe and give it to my guests at the show and then I got this tip from another consultant and thought it was a great idea to get traffic on my site. I have had my site for over 1 1/2, I have had some orders but nothing huge...it takes time...so the more people you tell and give a reason to go there, they will. Don't forget to mention the outlet also...another reason to go. Good luck...
