I had 1 order so far on my PWS. This lady bought through a show i'm having and she actually tried to get the PHD using the words "6 years ago" as her past host number. lol. I politely e-mailed her and told her I needed a valid PHD to give her the 10% off and guess what... she booked a show! LOVE IT!

I've had a couple of orders from shows get put on my website. I've had someone place an order after getting a catalogue from me at a craft fair. I've had orders for my daughter's bridal registry also. The online ordering is a big perk to look forward to when you promote to Director. That's when HO sends orders and recruits to your website for you.
