The hosts for two of my parties want their shows shipped to my house. How would I go about entering that in PP? :confused:

Thank you =)
 
Did it work out for you?
 
My director told me that she perfers to do it that way because then she can intercept in case anything is broken or damaged and she can send it right back that way. We also sort it out and that way also it is easier on the hosts, less work and willing to have a party on there own!
 
I Have 95% of the shows shipped to me, unless they are out of town. It works out really well and my hosts if have hosted for other people are really appreciative because it's less work for them.
My director and my AD refuse to do this, but that's the beauty of the biz. We can do whatever we want.

Yes, it worked. Thanks so much!
 
I'm glad to hear that!
 
That option has helped me out getting shows, less work for them so they do not mind it at all!
 
Let me tell you that there are a couple of hosts that I had wish I did that with them. One host had a $1500 show. LOTS of boxes. Instead of doing what I suggested, wait for me to come help, and checking the packing slip of each one, her daughter just started to create piles of products. She thought she had a bunch of stuff missing that really wasn't. I think she had 10 boxes strewn all over the room.
 
I just had a huge show, and I know that she was happy that I offered that to her!
