Host & Guest Specials for Next Month: Clarifying Rules

[pkd09]

I want to make sure I correctly understand the host/guest special for next month. The Host gets 2 pieces at 60% off BUT can only get one of any individual item (example: can not get 2 large round stones). Guests can get any number of stones they want AND can get duplicate items at 20% off. I presume the past host special is the same as the host special. CORRECT??

You have it correct. Also, the host can take advantage of the guest special and add his/her % off. For example, she gets two pieces at 60% off, uses her FPV and half-price items and then has, say, 25% off. She gets to take the 25% off of the already reduced price of the stoneware. And that is unlimited.

Oh, I didn't know they were limited to one of each! I have a few "co-hosted" shows that they want to duplicate. Especially the covered baker since it wasn't available before. A Host wants to get two of them. She can't? I didn't know that!

No, but she can get % off the reduce price, which will still make it pretty reasonable.

I had missed that. I went back and reread the flyer and saw at the bottom where it says only one of a piece. Glad I saw this post just in case!

Sometimes we learn the hard way if we don't read the small print. I for one have learned the hard way in the past. We all would hate to disappoint a Host if they were expecting to order duplicates. I am glad I have CS members to be my extra eyes and ears and my post gave information that many were not aware of.

Can the guests get the covered baker at 20% off?

Can the guests get the covered baker at 20% off?

I don't think so, I think that only the host can get it for a reduced price.

Oops. Wasn't thinking. She can still get it as a half-price item, though. Again, still a good deal.

Can the guests get the covered baker at 20% off?

No. I emailed HO about that and they replied that it was only the host that could get it on sale in Feb.

"Past host" as in the person from whom the show was booked. ALL past hosts within 12 months can take another 10% off the guest special price of 20% off!

Uggg! I was going to do the 30 minute chicken in the baker while it was on sale, but apparently it isn't!!I have read that the chicken is made without the lid on, right? Why couldn't I do this in a DDB or rect if it fits??

 

[chefann]

You could. There are posts about that. The Pie Plate will also fit easily into most microwaves, since it's the size of a dinner plate.

I made my chicken with the lid on! hmm..

I know a lot of my customers in Feb are interested in the Deep Covered Baker so I am offering it for 20% off. It will be $52 so I will consultant gift $13 which will be a write off. Plus even at the lowest commision rate we make 20% so you will AT LEAST break even with the cost. Then on top of all that DOUBLE POINTS!!!!!. Sell on DCB and get 130 points! I think it is really a win win to offer it at 20% off.

 

[pamperedharriet]

Thanks for mentioning that the host cannot buy 2 of the same items at 60% off. I didn't read the fine print. I'll be sure to mention that to my hosts. We still have lots to offer--it's such a great promotion!!!

I think that is a fantastic idea, and I am going to do that, too! When you think about it, it's a no-brainer!

(BTW, my recruiter did the 30-min chicken last night and SWEARS that she will NEVER roast a chicken again!)
