I decided last minute last night to send an email out. I had already done an anniversary sale and a Black Friday sale this month and didn't want to bombard them but decided that most companies are doing that right now so why not, what could I lose? I have two online orders this morning all ready. One appears to be a HO lead but the other is for a DCB!! So at last another $100 in orders for today!

I, too, decided that everyone else is doing Cyber Monday so this is a way to make sure they think about ordering PC. I'm afraid too many people are like me and not completely ready to do their shopping yet.
Don't forget, the amount you see on the shipment status page includes shipping (unless it's the free shipping over $75) plus tax. You have to click on the link to see the items they ordered and figure out the product-only amount.
Got one order over $75 and then a Past Host from this year ordered but didn't follow my Cyber Monday instructions to get a discount on orders under $75 through the catalog show I set up.

both. I sent the Customer Connection email twice - once last Tuesday and then again yesterday. I also sent a message this morning to my email newsletter database (2700+ email addresses) and sent a message to everyone in my personal email address book. I also did a Phonevite last night for my past hosts for the past 24 months and some of my really good customers.
In every communication, I made sure to let people know that this is a one time deal - I don't ever contact them this much and as soon as Cyber Monday is put to bed, I'll go back to contacting them only once per month.
I also had my children put flyers in the doors of neighbors yesterday and told everyone to forward the info to anyone they thought might be interested. And of course, it's all over my Facebook personal page as well as my business page.
I'm up to 6 orders with $640 in product sales. Was the effort worth it?? Yep. And it didn't cost me anything but time and a couple of bucks in flyers & phonevite calls.

Well, it's now 1:19 a.m. on Tuesday and nothing. I sent out a mass text about 9:30 p.m. but still nada! I've got two shows to close tomorrow but I have no idea how much either will be. One show only has a couple of more orders and the other, well, I just don't know anything about it really. I'm $833.76 from the $3,000 mark and would REALLY love to hit that! Say a prayer that I can meet that goal, if you will. TIA!I'm calling it a night, folks! Catch ya on the flip side...

I had nothing as of last night, but I woke up to a message today from someone who said "sorry I missed the sale but I still might want to order." Of course, I extended a sale for her (as long as the order is submitted, with credit card, by tonight). Waiting to hear back from her... let's hope!!!! Then less than $250 to go... this may be doable as long as I can get on the phone tonight!

I know...that's what I thought. One is my neighbor, and I know she's super busy, so I think it was more that she just never sat down long enough to place an order. It's just easier to say "I forgot".
I havemy own catalog show going in today, so I'm going to let them know that if they get their order and payment to me by 5pm, I'll give them free shipping (but that it can't include outlet items.) on their orders. That way, I'm just out $4.50...instead of Dir. Ship. prices.
I ended up with one order last night for about $80. NOt sure if it was a customer or home office lead yet. Hoping it was a customer, as I may still get a HO lead today if it was. I am less than $200 away from $6000. I had 7 catalog shows this month and 5 of them totally fell apart. HOw does that happen all at once? I kept in touch like I always do and everyone said they needed a little more time etc etc. One told me she had 2 orders and then yesterday said she had none. 2 of them did not have enough to make a party so I had to combine them and have them shipped to me to make one party.I have one left hanging out there that I have no idea if she did anything, but I am not counting on it. I keep playing phone tag with her. She booked in Sept for an Oct cat party and then changed it to NOv. I have been calling/emailing for 2 weeks now. I just hope I can find her today and she collected enough for a party. If not, who knows. I really really wanted to get to $6000 this month. I am going to try and drum up a few orders tonight at work.
