For those who are needing some more shows, here is another idea. It is similar to the HWC team idea I posted on a thread a couple of days ago.
Last summer, I was hurting for shows, so I put together a Round Up trivet team. I asked as many people as possible to join my "Hunger Buster" team (the famous Dairy Queen burger was the inspiration for the name). Each team member was asked to collect 5 heart trivet orders from friends and family. All the trivets were placed on 1 order form in the team members name. And guess what? The cost of each trivet: $12.00 multiplied by 5 is a $60.00 order!!!!!! That meant each team member received that months guest special for FREE by collecting the 5 trivet orders! It was a free gift for the team member that I didn't have to pay for, plus with $2 from each trivet sale going to America's Second Harvest, each team member raised at least $10 for ASH. I had 10 team members, a few who sold more than their required 5 and I ended up with a $700+ show! I gave the top seller in the group the hostess benefits! I had added $2.00 to each trivet sale to cover the cost of s & h and tax. Anything left over was put towards the Round Up donations.
I'll do it again this summer, only I will make it a fundraiser for my church's Loaves and Fishes ministry. It's a ministry that provides those in need in our community a good, nutritious meal once or twice a week.
A good suggestion would be to make it during a month when there is a very appealing guest special. It will make it easier to recruit those team members!
