Wait till you see the picture when I am mad...HAHAHAH:p
 
We should have 4 or 5 avatars to pick from each time we post! If we are mad we can have a mad pic, or a happy post with a happy pic!

LMAO!!

It changes from one minute to the other and then when you repost it follows you anyway.
 
It took me too long to download this pic to my computer, readjust the size and upload to CS. I'll have to get quicker if I'm going to change them with my moods! ;)
 
I mean that we should have a feature to pick a pic each time, so the mad posts keep the mad pic, and the happy posts keep the happy pic. I think I look like a B*tch in my pic but don't have any others. When I post something happy I still look pissed about it! LMAO!!!!!

Tell me more...tell me more!!! I know I can do that when I email pictures, but haven't seen it for anything else! Help!
 
That would be an idea about keeping an avatar with a post but I doubt if it can be done--we can all dream can't we.

I don't think you look pissed Gillian.

You can't specify an avatar to "stick" with a post because the forum software builds the thread as people click on it, using the current information. Otherwise, all the info would be saved thousands of times on the server, greatly increasing the amount of space the forum required.

Is that the song they sang on American Idol last week!!??!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
they have something similar at staples...I have used them for my host packets since I started with PC last year and they are still in good shape.
they are a bit cheaper (I think they were $1.30 or $1.50)

I put a sticker on them that says "please return to consultant at your show" so that I can reuse them over and over

Ok, so tonight I found the most Fabulous Folder for Host Packets. I took pictures for you guys to see. It was a greyish clear folder with a clear side on the inside so you can put a title page. I inserted a piece of card stock with a PC label on it. I filled it with just basics for now to give you guys an idea. It has a place for a business card and next to it, I put a show strategy sticker. I put catelogs in the first pocket and behind there, I will probably put OOF. In the middle there are 2 clear pockets. Enough room for plenty of flyers. I threw in the it's show time, The Spring Products, And I would normally put the Host and Guest Specials. There is also a DYLAB. In the back, it is so perfect, for the opportunity section. I put the YOUR LIFE, YOUR WAY FLYER and the new contents we got in the mail and then there is a perfect spot for the new DVD.

I absolutely love the way this looks. I only put one together. The part that makes me sad is the folders are $2.00.....OUCH! I also hadn't decided if I want to put DVD's in every host packet...OUCH again. They do look so good. I mean put together, it isn't too much and it looks so professional. I kept the stickers on the showtime flyer. I would probally also add my Cooking show planner or whatever else. There is plenty of room. I justed wanted to see how they looked. I mean it looks like something straight from HO. It's what I would want to get as a Host, but I know I'll want to invest a lot in this to make it look nice and I many not get my money out of them. I just think making an impression makes a difference.

I have a couple more pics...:rolleyes: :confused: :confused:

Maybe I could find them cheaper? Maybe I could try to get them back after a show? And do I want to include the DVD??????
Your host packets are so nice looking . Thanks for sharing your ideas. I have thought about putting a cd in also but never have. Thanks for all the picture. What a nice job!!

I found them at CVS, but I found them on line in bulk for a few cents cheaper...I just don't know if want to invest in them when I can get the colored ones for like 3 for $1.00. They do look great though.
They are great and I like them too. However you could ask for the folder back at the show and pass it on to another host. Of course they may keep the paper work, just give folder and cd back.

Keep up the thinking

Irene
 
Jilleysue! I was at CVS tonight and found these folders too! I only bought two. I'm going to try them out before I start stocking up! Thanks for all the great ideas!!

You ave very welcome, but if you stock up, do a seach on the internet for them, they are a bit cheaper than buying them at CVS. don't you just love them though. I have another post with my recycle sticker I put on them to get them back. I just love them. They look sooo professional. LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!
 
Jill - love those folders! Way too cute!

Also, thanks for starting this thread. I have gotten some great new ideas of what to include in my hosts packets.

Oh you are very welcome. I have gotten considerable compliments on them. People can't believe that is what I give to my hosts. I just think anything I give them is a general reflection of what I think of myself and my business. I generally tell them to take a look at the CD if they have time, but to keep it in the folder because we will use it at the show as guests are arriving and when I am taking orders. Tip though...bring an extra in case they misplace it. ;)
 
Thanks Trish! Those are great~!!!
