I have a guest that has asked me to order her a couple of the avocado peelers. How do I do this? Is it possible to do this on a september show? If so how?
 
You could put it in as a personal order, just make sure you change the date to an August date, and send it in before the end of the month.
 
There are two ways to do it:1. Put it on an individual order for the customer and charge direct shipping - date the order as August 31 or before.2. Gather at least $150 in August orders (no September stoneware special or new products) and date the show August 31 or before.As long as you submit it by September 30, you should be fine...unless they run out of something.

Thanks guys. I was hoping to piggy back her order onto a sept show but I'll go ahead and enter it by itself.
 
I need to know if a past host can order the August special in September. I thought at a cluster meeting that I heard some consultants talking about how you could order a previous host special in current month. I hope I explained it well. I have a past host that attended a show last night and she wants last month's special. If you can do this, how do you enter it in PP?
 
There is no way to do that, that I know of.
 
Sees like you would do it just the same as the previous question --- submit it under an August date --- I know I had to wait to submit my 1 august show until sept 1st - the day i got my debit card.... and I had august specials in my order...
 
Well the way I was looking at it was that she was having a September show which then she wouldn't be able to put the August special onto, but if it was just a show held over from August then yes she would still be able to get it.
 
She wouldn't get the Past Host Monthly Special, because an August Host didn't book her August show from Past Host's show at the time. No booking Benefit.
However, Past Host can do her own "August" catalog/cooking show, and get the Monthly special outright. Right?
 
WOW I had no idea that we could do that with PP... you learn somethign new everyday!!
 
Anyone else confused? :p
