My phone sale is pretty much over, now. I received $124 in sales, though after the discounts and incentives to buy, I didn't net a full $25. I have a friend who called, but I was at a cluster meeting, so I didn't get the actual order. I'm hoping it will put me up to $150 so I can turn it in as a show. Then I will have three shows for June and get more PC dollars for super starter. We'll see. I sent 46 e-mails and 20 snail mails. My customer base isn't very big, yet, and many of them pretty much just bought products from me within the last month and a half. Maybe this will work if you have been selling longer than I have. I'm keeping the flyer, but I will check over the discounts and probably offer a little less in the way of discounts because I need to recover costs. I would also like to make money, of course.
 
I've closed my phone sale, and it is just at $150. That's great because I'll be submitting two shows tonight. So...I'll be getting another $50 in PC money for super starter, and I'll be getting the free sharp objects for the June Sell-a-thon. I do have one more show for the month, but this will make me safe in case something happens and it doesn't get turned in on time or it cancels. Will I do it again? Maybe in four or five months when I have a larger customer base and it's almost Christmas. It's worth a try.
