Basically what it is... (I got mine at Michaels) their little chineese shaped boxes with poka dots on them. I have a photo of an product in their... IE white kitchen brush, mix n chop.... if they book a party at the show and set the date..... they get to pick a box......what ever is in side is a gift I give to them from me at their show... but they must hold and close their show... in order to receive it....
 
That is a cute idea! I had heard from someone that they use those wire picture holders, and put the picture of the product on those, but i like the boxes, that i will raise peoples curiosity!! Thanks Leah!

Some people put date... on a piece of paper and tape it to the box..... for the dates that they want to book... But I found that I get more response if they just book a show!!! with out the date taped to the box!!!
 
Yeah, and make them feel pressured. Thats a good idea. I want to try that too!!
