Creating a Catty Show for Newly-Wed Daughter: Tips & Ideas

[krzymomof4]

I have a customer who wants to take up orders for a catty show to get her daughter PC stuff. She just eloped over Thanksgiving. How would you suggest I do this?

You could have the mom collect the orders and pick out the host order stuff for her daughter. Put the daughter in as co-host. That way everything can ship to the mom, but the daughter will get all of the host benefits. Make sense?

I didn't know whether or not to do it like that or like a bridal catalog show.

If you do a catalog show, you can't have a co-host. If the mom doesn't care if she doesn't receive 10% off for the next year or share the discount on this show, that would be fine.

So my best bet would be to do it as a catty right? I didn't know if there would be more sales by people buying for the bride and themselves. Like at a regular bridal show. I know I am making this harder than it needs to be.

When I've done something similar, I've made up an order form which allowed people to order for themselves on one half and the bride on the other. I charged shipping only once. I put all the orders for the bride on one order. This made it clear that they could order for both themselves and the bride and made it easy for them.
