Holiday Open House: Does Date of Show Matter?

[lisacb77]

Here's the scenario. I want to get together with reps of some other companies (Avon etc) and do a holiday open house. I get busy at my day job in Dec and I thought this would be a great way to get sales, esp b/c I might be FD by then. I won't have time to do shows that month.

I wanted to do it first weekend of Dec, but the other reps are thinking mid to late November instead.

My question is: does the date of the show matter or when you submit it? Say I submit on Dec 1 or 2 to close it out. Can I pick December in the drop down in PP for "month submitted for"??

Just want to know before I commit to a date.

Thanks!

it really doesn't matter what date you actually have the show. but when you do put it in PP, put show date as of Dec 1 or 2 and then submit it on the 3 or 4th. This way you will have the sales for the consultant incentive for December (earning spring/summer products). This way people will have christmas gift early

When I did my fundraiser for my local Relay for Life, I started the first week in April, but I offered the May - Help Whip Cancer Products Specials. Then I submitted the show on May 4th. This way the products were back by Mother's Day. That fundraiser was $4,482.50

Hope this helps

Thanks Teresa, that helps tons! I'll just be sure to let people know the items won't arrive until around Dec. 8 or so.

Thanks!
