Hi Everyone,

I'm off to a show and I just forgot that the hostess asked me a question and I don't know the answer. One of her guests found an item in our outlet and she wants to know if I put it in for her or if she has to go through the PC website. I have no idea about the outlet so I need your help.

Does that count toward the party's sales? Probably not.

Thanks
 
No it does not count for party sales. It has to be ordered via your website. Good luck with your show, Kristi
 
Outlet sales are individual online orders only. They cannot be added to a show.

So, I just tell her to go to my website and order it through there? I haven't had a website order yet. New and exciting. I wish it was a big order...maybe she'll find some more real price items.

Thanks
 
in advance for your help!Hi there! Don't worry, I've got you covered. The outlet items do count towards the party's sales, so if your hostess wants to purchase it, she can definitely do so through your PC website. Just make sure she mentions your party when she checks out so it counts towards your sales. Let me know if you have any other questions, and have a great show!
