Who May Find This Useful

Consultants looking for insights into sales strategies and experiences related to HWC items may find this discussion relevant.

So farI have sold 42 HWC items so far. I have been bragging about them at shows and I was invited by the American Cancer Society to their kickoff rally for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. I am doing a unique fundraiser this weekend and they wanted me to be there and share information about it. They allowed me to set up a table there and sell the HWC products. I sold 12 items there so it was awesome! I am having a HUGE fundraiser yard sale this weekend and hope to see at least another 15 or so. My goal was 150 but I don't think I will reach that but I am hopeful that I will reach 80 or more. THats better than last year when I only sold 2.
 
I'm at 123 now!!! yippee!!
 
I have 81 pink items and 3 host items. 69 left and I have 4 Catalog shows to close. Keeping fingers crossed.

That's awesome! Great job! I'm only at 36 pieces but have 3 people with catty shows and pink team captians who are hopefully adding to this!?:rolleyes:
 
The pink knife...Do NOT forget that it is perfect for cutting up stuff in ANY non-stick cookware! I am at 34 or so but Ihave three more shows to get orders from. I am however, at over $200 in donation amounts as one fundraiser show closed at $503 and one is at $172. I am getting orders for another one tonight so...

I am having better luck with the fundraising side of it though and not the pink side of it.
 
Silly Question - this is my first HWC with PC. Can a guest buy more than one pink item? Also, what if a guest JUST wants to buy pinks items at a show - is that ok?

Yes and yes.:)
 
I did a THINK PINK Fundraiser and sold ONLY the pink items...I sold 72 items with a show total of $475....I didn't think that was too bad considering that is was only the pink items... This is my second year with PC, last year I didn't do that well selling the pink items just at my shows and this year I did this and I will definately do it again next year :)
 
Awesome job guys!! I have only sold 15. I have one person that signed up for my HWC Pink team. She is supposed to get orders to me on Monday so I can close the fundraising show.

Next year I need to get more aggresive.
 
I have sold 38 so far. With 4 shows to go. Good Luck Everybody!

As of right now, and probably all it will be, I have sold 98 pink products!! I had a very low month, mostly just pink fundraisers (people selling just pink products) and one cooking show...
 
How does the fundraiser work? If I make a low show a HWC fundraiser show what part goes toward the Lanyard?

I have a Catalog show that is barely $130. If I change it to a HWC fundraiser what happens?

First, like all shows it has to be at least $150 (I know you know that;) ). On a normal fundraiser 10% would go to the organization but I believe it's 15% for the HWC (up to 25% if sales are high enough). That % is what counts toward the lanyard. ($150 FR = $22.50)
 
I really wanted to earn the Lanyard for both HWC and Round-Up. I had round-up earned in January. I have never earned the HWC award. I have only sold about 20 of the items then if I switch this catalog show it still wouldn't be enough. Right now (after my surgery) I just don't have the strength to get on the phone calling people to order them. Oh well...I guess I won't get it this year either.
