Generic Host Letter Catalog & Cooking

[pamperedlinda]

I'm looking to streamline my paperwork. Does anyone have a Generic Monthly Host Letter that they are willing to share? I spend way too much time customizing Monthly Host Letters for both Cooking and Catalog Shows. I'd like to start using a generic host letter that covers the info for both a cooking and a catalog shows and then just include the Monthly Host & Guest flyers and order forms in the packet. A seperate one for Cooking shows and Catalog Shows would be fine, but ideally I'd like a consolidated one.

If you have one, that would be great, if not.....I'll get to work and create one.

here you go..this is what I use...and what I've been doing also, is asking my hosts right away if they have email and a printer..then I ask if I could send them the host bonus flyer, guest special flyer, and outside order form through email to them...They love it, because they are receiving it immediately after I set the show up (if it was booked via the phone)..then I mail them catalogs and invites and my recruiting stuff. Saves on my printer ink. Hope this helps

This is what I include with each packet.

Thanks ladies! I'll look through these later today.

Hey Karlene, how's the fundraiser coming along?

I am curious why do most of you have the guests make the checks out to the host? I am new and have only had a couple of shows, I have had them make them to me am I doing it wrong or is it personal preference?

Tiffany,

It is a personal choice and consultants have their reasons for how they like to take payment. I have my guests make their checks payable to me.

My director likes the checks made out to the host. She says that people are less likely to write a bad check to one of their friends. Also, you only have to deal with your host then if there is a problem with the payment.

When I started I had guests make out their checks to the host, because that's how the woman who recruited me did things. It was my director who pointed out that if a host doesn't close (and we all know there are those flaky hosts) and the checks are made out to me, I can close the show on my own. If not, I've essentially wasted an evening.
