Well after much discussion with my recruiter - she helped me soooo much - I came up with my $1000 Mystery Host Catalog Show flyer. I got the idea from here a long time ago and then tweaked it to fit me (1st anniversary, timeline, etc). I wanted to share it with all of you!!

If it works, it should be great! Hopefully help me hit Level 2 of the sell-a-thon. I just mailed it on Friday and I have three FIRM "yes" names!! I'm doing this in addition to my scheduled shows and a fundraiser.

I started the "buzz" about it with my Sept. Hosts and ALL of them said they were in at that time. I bought a packet/kit of Christmas paper, envelopes, labels, etc for $9.99 from OfficeMax - set if 25 - and printed it - they looked very professional. Then I put a Mini-Holiday Catalog in each one with a little flyer about the November Host/Guest Special since it is one of the prizes.

I sent out 25 total and figured if I got more than 10 involved, I would split it into 2 separate Catalog shows. I also changed it a bit and sent it to 6 preferred customers that have never hosted.

I put a FIRM timeline on there and intend to call each and every person by next week. I intend to have it entered by the end of the month.

I'll keep you updated and let you know if it works!!

Thanks!!
Joanne

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a $1000 Mystery Host Catalog Show?

A $1000 Mystery Host Catalog Show is a direct sales event where a consultant showcases products from a catalog, aiming to reach $1000 in sales. The twist is that the host is not revealed until the show concludes, and the host rewards (like free products and discounts) are randomly assigned to participants based on their orders.

How does a Mystery Host Catalog Show boost sales?

This type of show can create excitement and urgency among participants, as they have the chance to win host rewards without the pressure of being a traditional host. The allure of potentially receiving free products encourages more people to place orders, which can lead to higher overall sales.

What are the benefits of hosting a Mystery Host Catalog Show?

Participants benefit from the opportunity to earn host rewards without the commitment of hosting a typical party. Additionally, it allows the consultant to reach a wider audience, as friends and family of participants may also place orders, further increasing sales.

Are there any downsides to a Mystery Host Catalog Show?

One potential downside is that the lack of a traditional host may reduce the personal touch and engagement that comes with a typical party. Additionally, if sales do not reach the $1000 goal, the rewards may be less appealing, which could affect participation in future events.

How can I maximize the effectiveness of a $1000 Mystery Host Catalog Show?

To maximize effectiveness, promote the event through social media, email, and personal invitations. Create engaging content that highlights popular products and potential rewards. Additionally, consider offering incentives for participants to share the event with their networks, which can help increase sales and participation.
