I have a guest that ordered a lot of pantry spices. It is subtotaling after the shipping and handling, do these count towards her getting the guest special?
 
yes! everything except tax and shipping count towards the guest specials.
 
YES it does. And so many times I forget the guest special over $60. Need to change over to PP3 for the reminder.
 
The only reason there is a seperate section for this is because some states don't charge tax on food items. But the pantry items sure do count towards show sales!!
 
Yup ... that's it exactly.

Pantry items are a great "add on" when someone is a few dollars short on a special ... or when a show is just shy of the next level!
 
I have to say I've only gone to one show. I've ordered quite a few times from the consultant here in town. She has never mentioned the guest special. I only learned that PC had guest specials after I received my Kit and started training. LOL how crazy. And I totally agree with Di_CAN_COOK . Pantry items would make a great add on.
 
I had a show this week where someone didn't want to order because she was visiting from out of state and was miffed that she would have to pay more to have the order shipped to her. She wanted the small Quick-Stir.

So I pointed out that the shipping was only $2 more, and she didn't have to worry about carting it back to Michigan. Then, I pointed out that she could spend another $5 for the same shipping rate, so I directed her to the spice page. Yay for spices!
