Set yourself up as a host and put on your home page HOW TO ORDER ONLINE and then give them the directions on how to place an order by using your name. You can either put it together as a catalog show or put the order on to someone else's show that you are currently doing. I have mine name like that for about one month and already have had 3 people place orders! I find it working very well!! Good Luck! :)
 
WOW...that is awesome that you already have interest. As was said...set yourself up as a host. I add guests names to this and leave them on there and just keep changing the date so the show never expires. That way I can always send out a catalog evite when having special announcements or "sales".

What is a catalog e-vite?I know what a evite.com is, but I'm not sure how you would do a catalog on evite.
 
e-invitations can be done through your website"Evites" can be done through your PC website. Hosts can log on to the special host section to send email invitations to all of their guests. It's great because they can even invite people to participate who live out of town. The evites can be done for catalog shows or kitchen shows. There's a special option for each of those. You can send them out yourself if you're hosting your own show or open house. Just play around for awhile on setting up your website. Even send an evite to yourself so you can see what they look like. When people reply that they can't come to the show, it automatically generates an email to them explaining how they can still view the catalog through your website and place an order.

It's such a great business tool!
 
Ok so when you do this.. How do the products get to those ppl? Don't they normally get shipped to the host or you? Or can you set it up so ppl who are around the country who "attend" the same show can have the products delivered to their doorstep? I have most ppl I know out of state, thats why I'm asking.
 
Yes, people can get their orders shipped directly to them. The S&H is a little bit more. Look on the back of the order forms/receipts when you get them and it has a table for how much the direct shipping costs. Some people who just order a little will say it's expensive, but there's a cap to it. Any order over $65 will pay the same amount, so it's really good for people who place bit orders. Sometimes if people really have an issue with it, I may split the difference with them for what's beyond the "normal" $3.25.
 
New fall products???Anybody have any idea when we will receive the fall products that we earned in June? I am very excited about getting my free stuff.

Someone told me we would get them after all the conferences were over since they aren't revealing the new products til then. I'm hoping soon after conference because I'm curious too.
