Have Any Unused Items for Door Prizes? Let Me Know and Help a New Consultant!

Click For Summary
The discussion centers around acquiring door prizes for new consultants, highlighting the benefits of placing supply orders to get items at a discount and track expenses for tax purposes. One effective method shared involves creating spice samples using small zip bags, which can be purchased from craft stores. Each sample can include a paper topper with essential information, making them appealing to potential buyers. Participants express enthusiasm for this idea and share their experiences, including sorting through unused products to contribute door prizes. While some members recommend buying from fellow consultants to save money, others caution about considering shipping costs compared to direct purchases from the company. Overall, the emphasis is on supporting fellow consultants while managing expenses effectively.

You are best off getting the door prize items in a supply order. The shipping is low and you get them at 40% off and it's easier to track for tax deductions.
 
I make my own samples of the spices. Buy them on the supply order and get small ziploc type bags at the craft store. They usually have a 1inch by 2 inch type size that is perfect to fit a 2 Tbsp sample of the spice. Then I just make up a little paper topper for the bag with the name of the spice, ingredients, a short recipe or suggestion of use and my contact information so that they can order more. People love to try our spices before they buy them. These are also very inexpensive to do.

If you make what you attach in a Word file, would you mind attaching so we can see? I have read this before and maybe you posted it but can't remember where so maybe if it was you - - - just point us to that thread?

Jaime I may have a few things, I found a whole closet full of new products that I've never used, last night... and inside was a box full of door prize "small" items. I'm going to sort through them and probably sell them as a "lot" together.

Btw, while you can get your order through h/o, I personally appreciate you for trying to help consultants get rid of their items at the same time. Most of us, when selling items to other consultants, sell them in such a way to save YOU money as well. If you're paying by paypal to a consultant, just print off your receipt and put it in your "tax" file so you have it for your records. :)

I agree it is great to help others out. Just be careful to consider not only the cost of the products but the shipping cost to get it to you before comitting to buying. I have ordered from other consultants and have been very happy with the purchases but other times things have ended up costing me more than I could have gotten them from PC when I factored in the shipping (the seller can't help what the PO or UPS charges - it's just a part of it).

So you decide what is best for you. If you can help someone else without breaking your budget that's wonderful. I personally don't order products or supplies from anyone if they are available through PC and if someone wants to buy such things from me I always suggest they go through PC and let them decide what they want to do.
