How to Plan a Successful Mystery Host Catalog Show?

[ahammons]

Hi everyone! I just signed my consultant agreement the other day, and I am so excited to get started! I already have 2 catalog shows in progress, but a friend who said she would host a show just e-mailed me to ask if we could move it back a few months. I live in different state than the majority of my friends and family, so several of them are going to do catalog shows. Anyway, my husband is in the military and will be going to Korea in July (for a year), so our kids and I will be moving back to our home state while he is away. My friend that I mentioned above said she would rather do a cooking show when I come back...which is great, but I need to book another show. I was thinking about doing a mystery host catalog show, but need some ideas. Is it easier to just pick one winner from the entries and give them all the host benefits, or pick a couple of people and split the benefits between them?? I'm not really sure how to go about this, so I welcome any tips!

I did one winner, but many do two and that is nice because you have "more winners" and hopefully more happy customers because 2 can get host benefits for the year...look for my Mystery Host Flyer from February...and feel free to use the idea.

Maybe ask your friend to do a catalog show for you too and she can book off herself, getting two host specials at her show!!Otherwise, mystery host works however you want. If they are local, it may be nice to split benefits. Plus, I usually give the host % off as a consolation prize. You could make it unlimited or for one product. I usually do any one item number. It increases your show total, gives them a great deal and doesn't cost any extra. Some only offer that to people who attend the actual show (if you plan on doing one).
