It will be my "annual" show, except that I moved since last one, so I guess it will be a 1st Annual- and my first open hosue since I have moved. I am excited, and a bit nervous- I thought I would start planning before conference, so that I can insert ideas as I hear them. I am looking forward to the new recipes to try, and new products to show.
 
I am a new consultant and i am hosting my first ever open house party to show the new products, i am sooooo excited i can hardly wait to see what the new products are going to be. I am also so ready to make some new recipes.
 
Good Luck. I am in this 5 months and will be doing my open house finally at the end of this month. I am hoping for an awesome turn out but know it may not work out.
I hope it turns out real good. Are you offering a Mystery host?

Usually at my kickoff's, my guests earn tickets for many things- bringing guests or orders, booking a show, signing, etc- then I award prizes from tickets drawn. I will probably do something along that lines again.
 
Hi there! Congratulations on your upcoming show and open house! Moving can be stressful, but I'm sure your new location will be the perfect spot for your 1st Annual show. Planning ahead of time is always a great idea, and I'm sure you'll have plenty of amazing ideas to share from conference. I'm excited to see what new recipes and products you'll be showcasing. Best of luck with your event!
