Boost Summer Sales with an E-Mail/Online Show - Learn from Experienced Hosts!

[cewcooks]

Has anyone done a e mail/on line show to customers ? I was thinking about doing one for May/June I had over 2,000 in sales this monthbut not a 1 booking so I want to have something for the summer. I'm happy with my show sales and all, but no one wants to host even when I've done ccc. I hope that this e mail show will help, I know someone on this site has done that before! Thanks

I haven't but I'm seriously considering it!

Good luck!

I have thought about doing it for May since it is HWC and some guests may just want to buy the pink things. Hopefully, it will be successful!

I've done it...the key thing is to follow up the email with PHONE CALLS...I know we hate the phone but people have the best of intentions to follow up on your email but they get busy and forget...My best email sale was the beginning of december...I made 45 calls and received 15 orders! The orders are there, be intentional

I wanted to do one too and am wondering why a fundraiser is only set up online to be a in home type show and not a catalogue show also.

I am in the process of doing an online show. I sent out 63 invitations and have only received 1 order. (It was for $50+) I have sent the original invitation via PWS last Sunday and an email reminder today. Would calling to follow up be too much do you think?

No, it wouldn't be too much. Many times, invites and notes sent through PWS are filtered as spam, and the recipients never receive them.

online showI live in florida , have lots of family in chic area.
I have had host do catalog show all through my site. It was very easy but the host still has to follow up with guest:sing:

Someone told me to keep the invitations to 9 or less at a time to avoid spam filters. I'm not sure if it works or not.

Even then, some email systems see the .biz and think it's spam. And supposedly HO has their systems set up to send invitations in small batches, no matter how many guests the host has added.
