I JUST found this thread! Do what someone else mentioned above...A Mystery Host show! "Make it a closing out 2007 with a bang"
Send out an e-mail now with how close you are to your goal and that you REALLY need some last minute help! Offer all the host benefits to the winner. Get their name in a drawing for each $40 or so they spend, each $40 they collect themselves from friends. Have it end by 5pm or so so you can celebrate your New Year's right! I usually do an online show on Super Bowl Sunday and others as well. Doesn't have to be a formal thing. Just offer a few great ways for your customers to get into the drawing. People can be so willing to help if they realize a set goal. Plus they like a chance to WIN! Let them know to do their Valentine's Day shopping early to get it out of the way before the "RUSH"! or have them order their Super Bowl products now so they can prepare (you name the recipe) some delish recipe! I got the Cruise the end of November and am so thankful I'm not stressing anymore. (at least about that). ROOTING FOR YOU HERE! KEEP US POSTED! My hubby has to work so you girls may be keeping me company tonight. I'll be checking in! :)

I can't stand it!!!! This is MUCH better than the countdown to new year's!! :)

----------
Bev, to insert a smiley, you need to put in the link to that smiley.

For example, the link to this smiley

is [ url = http :// www.freesmileys. org] http :/ /www. freesmileys .org/ emo/ bounce017.gif [/ img][ /url ]

I did put in spaces so that it would show up like the link....just take them out.

Send me a PM if you like, I have a file with some other smileys I use.
