John, you had an incredible show! You had to have been close.
As for what I do, I have one live open house at my mother-in-law's home (she's a bc survivor) and the rest is collected by my HWC squad that I recruit for all year long. One of the questions on my drawing slips is "Would you like to be contacted about being a member of my HWC Think Pink Squad in May?" I then explain what that means as I run through the drawing slip.
This year I had 17 people help by showing books (actually, 24 signed up, but there are always those who space things off). I ask each to try to collect at least $200 in sales. I then had those who submitted sales send in anywhere from $42-$653 in sales. The participants don't receive any host benefits or the host special. Instead, once they hit $200 in sales, they receive points for different things. I then give everyone a prize that hits $200. I put together a sheet with items that I have collected throughout the year. The highest point earned selects first, etc. The one who sells the most pink items gets the host special.
I will attach the brochure that I put together. I designed it in Quark, so am unable to attach it in word or publisher. It will be a PDF. Unfortunately, it is on another computer, so I'll have to do it tomorrow.
I start calling potential squad members at the beginning of April, try to get them their packet by the third or fourth week of April and put a May 15 deadline on collecting orders because I know that there will be some who will forget to show books, need more time, etc. I got about half of my orders in my that date and tracked down the others until the end of the month. I also set a show up online in each of the squad members names so that they can send emails to friends and family.
It's a lot of coordination, but for a month like May when I was at bank school for eight days, had my sister graduate and then dealt with two weekends with holidays (Mother's Day and Memorial Day), I think this is a creative way to help a very important cause while also keeping sales up and earning points for the trip.
