This is true. ANd if I copy your's (imitation is the best form of flattery, right?) then it would be super simple for folks.
 
thanks for sharing this is great!!!
 
I'll be in NYC for Thanksgiving (Macy's Parade live, woohoo!) and Black Friday shopping myself during my sale, so I won't be answering my phone either. Yay for voicemail and email!! I hope it turns out well!!

:( I don't have Publisher, do you have another program that you could save it to?
 
Chris...I think that is a better idea. I will use Elise's idea of combining some hours and eliminating others! Thanks for the suggestions! Maybe it will be more "user-friendly" this way!

Check this out and see what ya'll think!

Let me see if I can convert it to a pdf...
 
No pressure but wondering if you have had a chance to work on this. I'll be out Friday as well :)
 
wondered if you were able to do as a pdf... i don't have publisher either and would like to see your idea
 
Question: If you are using your website for Black Friday discounts, how will the discounts you are offering be applied? I would like to do a Black Friday Sale and I love all of these ideas that you gals have. Are you setting up a Black Friday Sale on your Website and then transfering the sales to your Pampered Partner Plus software? I'm confused on this........
Thanks in advance for your replies..........

If people place their orders online ... I just enter it in P3 as a "consultant gift." They're never unhappy to have LESS on their credit card than they thought!

Once you move it to P3, you can apply the discounts. I have even put in my DD's PHD# for the 10% off so it doesn't come out of my pocket! Since there is no "buy $60 get something free this time, you can also put all the ones you have given free shipping to under one name that has paid shipping to balance it out. :)
 
The past host discount is a brilliant idea!
 
My Black Friday Sale flyer says in bold that orders placed through my website will not be eligible for the discounts. They must email or call me to get the discount.

Thanks....Just so that I'm understanding this correctly, I would have to open a "show" on my website called Black Friday. This is where they would place their online orders. Once I transfer them over to P3, I would then apply the discount?
 
This is a great idea. I think I am actually going to do this on Cyber Monday though instead of Black Friday.

Mountainmama - I love your postcard, but I don't have publisher, and I can't change the text in the PDF? What do you recommend? Thanks!
 
You totally rock!!! Thanks! Worked like a charm!
 
Can't take the credit...got the site from someone on here! But, glad it worked for you...save it in your "favorites" for future use!
 
Vicky...you don't have to open a Show on your PWS but it does encourage people to follow the link to go to the website since I say, "Shop from your seat instead of your feet!"

Wouldn't you need a show on your PWS for those online orders?? Otherwise, if they place an individual order, you can't apply the discount afterwards. With a PWS Show- you download the order into P3 and then can apply the discount (enter payment as a Consultant Gift in the amount of the discount).

Maybe I misunderstood- but just wanted to be sure. Would hate for someone to set it up wrong and then have to refund cash after the fact.
 
If you're doing online orders, yes. You'd set it up with yourself as host.
