Does Guest Special Apply to Fundraisers?

[cookingabcs]

Quick question... does the guest special apply for fundraisers? I have a huge church group doing a fundraiser and they were all excited to do it, espeically with stoneware on sale this month and I was just told that someone went online to place an order and the stones weren't coming up as on sale. I checked the REcipe for Success and NOWHERE does it say that they aren't eligible for the guest special.. I says that Host benefits aren't available but nothing about guest benefits.

I tried to call HO but of course it's closed. This woman is ordering over $300 in stuff, not to mention all the orders the coordinator has already collected thinking that the stoneware was 20% off. If I have to go back and tell her that it doesn't count b/c it's a fundraiser, I'll be REALY PISSED!!!

Although, to say mysekf and having to cover all that 20% commission, I could just submit it as a cooking show and give them my commission. hummmm.. this is the first fundraiser I've evern done so I really don't know how to handle this situation.

Any advice would be great!

TIA!!

They do get the guest special. And the organzier of the fundraiser usually gets to choose a host special as a thank you.. i'm not sure what happens in a case where there is only one choice, with with the option two purchase 2 at 60%. But when I did a fundraiser the guests got the special

It does work on a Fundraiser. Call the lady and have her put the order in over the phone. It could be that she is clicking on the wrong thing. Also, it could be that the guest special has to be entered in by you. I'm not sure.

Is she clicking on guest special?? The sale prices don't come up under the regular heading... the guests have to click on the heading guest special and order them through there.

the special applies. As Jaime noted, they have to click on the GUEST SPECIAL category when they order, not on the STONEWARE category.

Is she ordering under the Fundraiser Name? If she isn't that would be the only reason I could think of that the Guest Special didn't show up since there's a guest special link under the hosts/organizations name.
