I am doing a show with a Partylite consultant. After talking with the hostess I feel comfortable there will be a good number of people there (her last party she had 35 people come and she's inviting even more because she will be having both companies there). Any suggestions on how to make sure the PC side does well? I'm planning to do my demo first with the reasoning that I have to cook it. My thought is that people will start thinking about what they want to buy from me first so if they have a limited amount of funds to spend hopefully they'll be more excited about ;) . Obviously I need to really talk up the bookings and recruiting as I'm sure she'll be doing her spiel as well.

I've never done a combined show before so any thought or experiences would be appreciated:D !

I did a combined show with a jewelry girl. I wound up with $400, and the other had about $250. Whichever time you go, first or second, I think you wil do better than the PL lady, especially since your cooking. And, everybody eats. I went second at the show I did and I started with plopping some pull aparts on the table.
 
From what I have been told, not that I have done, most people buy what you talk about in the last 20 minutes since that is what they remember...I think it would be beneficial to go last.
 
I think that is definitely got something to do with why I did better. Of course, everyone eats, not everyone wears jewelry.

Thanks AJ and Andrea! I talked with the consultant after having to call her three times!!! I've been trying to get ahold of her because I told my hostess I would print up a postcard with both items on it so she didn't have to send two out. I'm going to go first so that my item can cook and then I'm going to do a wrap up game at the end (after her presentation). That way I'll get the first AND last portions of the show :).
