Wow!!!!!
I offered the $99 deal we've been talking about all month...only I was totally flexible with it - if they wanted something else instead of the digital thermometer, I let them pick something of the same price, etc...TWELVE BAKERS at one show - WOW!!!!!
 
Wow! That is SO cool! You should send that in to HO for Good News!
 
WOO HOO Carolyn:), I'm sitting here in shock and amazement. I think I'd faint if that happened to me!!!

Congrats!!! Bet Hostess is thrilled you offer this special now!!

Phenomenal! What do you offer in your 'flyer' besides the pocket thermometer?

Mind sharing your flyer?
 
Holy cow! Way to go!
 
Awesome!!! Big time congrats to you!

You should definitely share the good news with HO. The email address is:

THANKS!!! You Rock!
 
When do you share this during your show?
 
OMG!!!! That is GREAT!!!!! I hope I have the same success at my next two shows:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
WOW!!!! When I grow up I wanna be just like you :D
 
I can't wait to buy the DCB with my PC Dollars and SOON...I want to use this on all my demos. I have talked about it at my shows but I think people need to see it to want it, because no one has even seemed interested...
 
That is amazing!!! You must still be dancing! Congrats!
 
WOW! That is awesome! Yes, Carolyn... Do tell us your secrets!!!
 
Oh, wow! I'm impressed!!! We can't do "ship to host" out here, I'd be paying $14.25 out of pocket for shipping PLUS the extra $1 that the products cost. But I might have to look at it (or a variance of it) and see what I can afford to do!!!

Maybe I'll just do a set dollar amount of products = free shipping and see where it gets me! LOL
 
That's my flier!!! ... updated for the new season. I'm glad someone's having success with it! LOL
 
You go girl!!!!! That is tremendous!!!!!!
 
It's late and I don't feel like doing the math! What's the actual value of the set?
 
That particular set comes out to $100. Even though I'm not in the same boat as Sheila, I also don't really want to offer free shipping. I'm going to try and see if just the package alone is enough to entice people.
 
That is amazing! I am going to use that flyer on Tuesday for my cooking show! This is a first time Host and she has thought about the biz but said she doesn't know if she can "afford it"! Maybe if some of her guests spent that much, she would see the potential of getting her money back really quickly!

I was thinking the same thing. I know on a $100 order I would make at least $20 so only paying $5.25 plus a little bit of tax out of pocket wouldn't be too bad but right now I'm trying to really make money not spend it.
 
Wow Carolyn! Can I be like you when I grow up?

I'm not worthy! (channeling Wayne and Garth) LOL!

So glad you had a great night!

I want to know how you got her to have 28 people there!
