She did an individual order, so I had no idea until she finished her shopping & it showed up!! I'm going to send her a thank you note with something, maybe a $10 GC or a Free Show coupon....

That's a GREAT idea and maybe next month she will be back to use the GC!;)
 
Dont we all wish we had $300 to spend on PC products? Ofcourse, I dont have enough kitchen space anymore!

The GC is a great idea. She'll be back & probably refer you out. Plus it ensures you'll have contact with her. Possibly a booking to earn FREE products!
 
Definitely send her a thank you and something extra. When I first got my website I got 5 orders back to back from unknowns. I sent them a thank you letter and an explanation of how a show works along with a season's best. The orders were not over $60. One of them asked their daughter to do a show and that was the show that gave me my highest show $$ to date. :)
 
Sarah, what fun! Thanks for posting about that.
 
Congrats Sarah! Yipee to free money!
Let us know what comes of your contact with her...how cool would that be if you "track" this and see a $1,000 show or a consultant come out of it!
