Hosting a DCB Show: What Are the Rules?

[ldynred7]

I did a really fun show last night and one of the guests wanted a DCB but just moved here 2 weeks ago and doesn't know anyone so she just did her own show of $160 to get the DCB. AWESOME!

But now my questions is does the host of the orig. party get to be the past host of the show the lady on her own? Can I enter the show as a cooking show since she was at a cooking show when she did her own party or does it need to be a catalog show?

Thanks.

As long as you submit the original show first, that host can be a past host of the new person's show. Keep in mind, only one DCB can be sold at each show. Technically, I would guess it should be two different cooking demos, but I personally would count them both as cooking shows.You may need to call HO after submitting the first show to get her host number if you want to submit both the same day.Hopefully the original host won't get upset that she can't use the $160 from the "new" person toward her show total.

I would NOT call that a cooking show (the second one). She was AT a cooking show and then put an order together. Technically when someone orders just themselves it's an order not a show but most of us have done this for our customers to help them out and in this case I certainly would have done her order as a show - she wanted the DCB and made it happen. She's at $160 without any friends' orders. I would urge her to call around and see if she can get a $40 order to get it to $200 which gives her a bigger discount and $10 off the baker. It would also make it a more legitimate show by having at least one guest who is not the host. Remind her that she can ask anyone in the country if they want to order - who knows, she could even get to $300 or more in just a day or two.
