If you haven't seen it yet, go check out the policy & procedures on page 40 about social networking! :D

I've been so strict with my hosts that they couldn't post my web address on their page & now we have permission to let them do that too! :D

If you didn't see this in the policy, make note of it!
Please note: If you link directly to the Shop
Online pages of your Personal Web Site, the link will
expire after 2 hours and any orders placed using that link
will be directed to the Lead system through the corporate
website. You should instead link to one of the main pages
of your Personal Web Site since these links are static and
will not expire.
Do you think that means that if they put a link directly into their online show that it will expire too? Eeek!
 
I think if she has them go to your website then to her show will work. I say go to www.pampered..../traceystokes and then find the show and place the order through the host's show.

I always encourage my hosts to do the online invitations to alleviate people bypassing the "host" box and doing an outside order. I've had it happen twice now and both hosts were very unhappy that I couldn't get their guest order back to apply it to their show. I was hoping that the hosts could sign into their show & then post THAT link (like the link on the online invitations) to alleviate people doing it wrong. But now I'm afraid to try it! I'd hate for the order to go to the HO Lead system! Yikes!
 
Hi there! I completely agree, I am also very excited about the new Facebook policy. It's great that we now have the option to share our web address on our hosts' pages. This will definitely make it easier for potential customers to find us and learn more about our business. Thank you for bringing attention to this update, it's definitely something to celebrate! Happy networking! :)
