Ok a May host booked a catalog party off herself... does she get two specials one for being the host from which the party was booked and one for the current catalog party she is hosting?
Also she wants to know if the plates on page 5 of the catalog in the three tiered stand are the small or med squares???
Thanks hope that made since!
 
Yes. She gets two specials.

One order is placed as a guest in her name as past host and the other is the host order. She does pay the $4 shipping for the past host order. If she chooses to order anything else on the past host order she'll get 10% off of those things - she would do that if she's really close to the next level on her show and wants to order something herself to get there.

The plates on pages in the three tiered stand are the small squares.
 
Yes! She gets TWO!! One as the current "host" (goes on the host order, no shipping) and the other one needs to go in as her being a "guest" at her own show. She will pay the $4 shipping, and the amount of her guest order will go towards her guest sales!

Page 5 3 tiered stand has small squares on there. They fit "inside" the frame...the mediums hang "over" the frame.

Thanks for the speedy answers~ :)
 
Ha! Beth and I were typing at the same time!
 
I always book my hosts off themselves. I tel them it's another benefit of hosting their own party. I get many repeat hosts this way so that they can get two items. Last September when the cookware was on special, I had 4 repeat hosts and my highest month ever!

Say you do that and pick a fake date to make the computer happy.... Does the show have to be held in the fake month date or does it just have to be with in six months?? Once again did that ? make since???
 
Show dates can always be changed, as long as it is held within six months the benefits still apply.

I just put a fake date in. I do ask at the time if they would like to schedule a date or have me call them in the future.
