Okay Becky's thread is getting LOOOONG!! I thought it would be easy for us that are participating in July to have our own thread on it. Thank you BECKY for posting it and thank you to EVERYONE who posted their results. It's extremely exciting & inspiring to see your results!!

Here's what Darcy is sending out for July:

It's post #155 and #156

I'm working on implenting it into my newsletter and am sending it out TODAY!!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!
 
Here's what I sent out. I decided to let Lacy and Darcy do my creative thinking for me on this one, so if it looks familar - it's all them!

I sent this out last night and have one taker so far.

okay, what's the deal? I can't add my attachment?
 
Well, that was weird. I had to close internet explorer and reopen to add the attachment.
 
I sent mine out a couple days ago. Right now I have 8 people and they have their host packets. I am hoping to find the other 2 today at the picnic. I always have my mom if I need her but am hoping that I won't need her. My deadline to get orders turned back into me is July 23rd.
 
Ok I'm going to do this!!
 
I just sent this flyer out to some of my contacts and hope I get some bites!! Fingers crossed. Thanks for the flyer!!

No-one will be turned away from this fabulous opportunity to earn free merchandise . You can do this by passing around a catalog at work, or in your neighborhood, at ballgames, family gatherings, and I can also set you up to send out an announcement online to your friends and family.

I will collect all the orders from the 10 (or more), compile and tally them, and then draw names from the 10 participants for the Show Host Benefits.

Request your packet by Tuesday July 8th (at the latest, July 9th I’ll be out of town in Chicago learning ALL the NEW products for the fall!) and you’ll also receive a Free Season’s Best cookbook with your order.  If you register after July 8th, just know that your host packet will be delayed with me being out of town.

All orders MUST be submitted by Tuesday July 29th to be a part of the mystery host show and receive benefits!

The fine print:
o The Mystery Host event works only when at least 10 people collect $100 in orders from third parties, before tax and shipping. If you are interested in participating, please make sure you can commit to inviting others to order, following up, and collecting orders with payment. If show sales are below $100, the prizes will be based upon the subsequent show level.
o Orders will be delivered to my house and I will separate them according to hosts. I will also designate dates and times for pickup/delivery. Orders from customer placed out of area/state will be subject to extra shipping and handling charges. If you are a host from out of area/state, and either win or place an order with your host benefits, I will pay for your shipping on that order!
 
How many order forms are you all going to give your hosts??
 
how do you enter it in P3 with giving each person a free benefit?

Keep REALLY GOOD NOTES and enter all of it under one host order.

Awesome!! I just had a woman email me back from my newsletter asking what's on the outlet!! Yay! They're reading it!!
 
I sent out my emails last weekend and I had 8 takers, I'm still hoping that 2 more will join, but I also tweaked the original letter(s) to work with July host benefits, and what I was willing to give. I sent my host packets out on Tuesday and already have people collecting orders! I gave my hosts until the 22nd to turn everything in. So, in reality I could still have those two more hosts join and they would still have enough time to collect orders if they join up through next week.
 
What happens if you do not get the full 10 to particpate, does anything change in regards to the discount and prizes? Also when I add all the totals together it is over 300.00, do you pay something out of pocket. I'm looking at the 1000.00 show and see 215.00 in product? Please explain, I would love to do this, just trying to understand.

If I don't get 10, then I['l adjust accordingly.

The July Host special is more Free $$. A $1000 show would get $315 in free products. See attached.

Ahh that makes sense. Thank you and good luck with your show!
 
Quick question. If you have 10 takers on the show, I only see 9 items given away unless you include the 30% discount for the 10th and everyone gets that. I would think the 10th person might feel cheated if she only wins a 30% discount that she would win anyway.

Which one of us are you asking? Mine takes care of all 10

 One Person will win $150 in free products
 One Person will win $75 in free products
 Three People will win $30 in free products
 One Person will win the July Host Benefit, the new Party Sticks for FREE! ($39 value)
 Four People will win 50% off any one product of their choice (including cookware sets, or any other product in the catalog!)
 
I am trying this too. So far I only have 4 takers and they were instant. I was really hoping to get more. Anyone have tips on how to get more people involved? I gave everyone until the 8th to participate, so I may still have hope.
Should I send a reminder? I don't want to disapoint these people.
 
I had one more taker yesterday at a party I was at, so now I am up to 9 people. I also have my quarter auction this month so I can save that order to add to this show if I need it.
I adjusted my letter a little and I made it so that all 10 people will get something. Here is what my said:
3 people will recieve $105 in Free product
1 person will get 60% off the Outdoor Party Sticks
4 people will get 50% off any one product
1 person will get a collapsible bowl (I have an extra at home)
1 person will get a Herb keeper (I have an extra at home) and the Striped Towel Set (hopefully this will come with 12 orders).
 
I forgot to add what I put in my host packet--I put 3 catalogs, a host flyer for August, 10 Order forms (with instuctions to make more copies or call me for more) and the letter explaining when I want the orders back, how the sale works, etc. I am collecting mine on the 23rd, so I still have a little time to find that last person if I need to.
 
I am in too!

This is such a great idea! Linda...thanks for sharing your letter!

I emailed out my letter yesterday, but haven't had any bites yet. Actually, only one person responded so far, and that was to ask me to remove her from my list. :cry: Oh well, she wasn't really a customer, it's a MK rep that somehow got my email and started sending ME emails, so I added her to my list!! Funny she doesn't want MY emails...
