Good Job Cat, I know you can get one more or maybe have someone get $200 in sales!I am @ 11 yeses, now to make sure they all work!
 
This is an awesome idea. I've seen it before, but never paid close attention. I think I'm finally going to do it in April. Thanks so much for sharing!

Okay I received 2 more yeses today! yeah!Anyways I wanted to let you guys know, some info I found out about media mail! The first batch of packets I mailed, I mailed media mail to save some $$.
The next day I went to mail another packet and a different post lady said if you want it to get there mail it first class. She said that media mail tends to sit in the warehouse sometimes for weeks. So I am thinking this is what is happening with our CN taking forever getting to us. I just thought that was some useful info to pass on!
 
I soooo wanted to do this with my hosts in AZ. I just sent out the email to 15 (telling them that only 10 were selected). What they don't know...right? Anyway...I so hope this works. I am going to ask my hospitality director in Surprise if she'll receive the boxes for me and what-not!! I'll owe her BIG TIME especially if it is a $1000 show!! Great idea!!

Wish me Luck!! With 3 postponed shows this month I need it!

I just realized something interesting about the breakdown of people who have agreed to do this with me:

4 are past hosts
4 are past customers who have never hosted
2 who have never bought or hosted before

And I had asked 21 people to do participate, mostly focusing on those who have said in the past that they'd like to host a show but never really did!
 
Well, I'll post my final results as well!

Hi Amanda,

Hmm...I had one flake on me as well, another only has one small order and I've collected $400 in orders. Still trying to get a hold of the rest. But I did have someone email me with a $70, so I'll add that to the show as well.

Keep trying and maybe you will be pleasantly surprised!

Cat
 
So I'm at $676 with 2 more orders to collect. So maybe I'll hit $900??

Have you gotten anything else, Amanda?

I am at $700, w/ one lady who didn't get any orders but wants to order herself. I am also having my customer appreciation tonight so any orders I will put them on this.We also have a woman's city bowling tournament & I donated a quick stir pitcher & gift cert. for a raffle. Some women were @ the raffle table going this is cool. I saw a lot of ladies w/ catalogs and order forms, so you never know that could bump me up as well.Cat when are you closing yours? I tried to close mine this weekend.
 
That's GREAT AMANDA!!! When you said you were discouraged, I was thinking you had very little in orders....so I'm very happy for you!!

As for closing it, one person said she would definitely get me her orders by Monday, so hopefully I'll close soon after that. (Gotta pick my raffle winners!)

Well I did, but I put yesterday for all the orders to come in & they trickled in yesterday. But it's working out! Just keeping my fingers crossed and praying every 1/2 hour for it!

Mine flopped! I think it was due to my execution. I have been horrible with my follow up this month. I sent out the emails but didn't follow through with a call. I did get one email saying "no", but that was all.

Congratulations Amanda!! How awesome!
 
I was thinking of doing this for March, it is a slowwwwwww month for me, but am "brian farting" on how to change the wording and prizes. Any help??

Thanks

What do you want to change???
 
It is late, and I think I am just making this harder than it really is!! Sorry! Guess I would just have to change the 60% off of stones to either a UM or CB w/MC...Is this correct?

Yes that would be the special change. There are 2 versions to the same letter take which one works best for you! Start mailing them out now so you have a good responce by the end of the month!!I even had a couple people ask me when I would do it again!!

Woohoo!! That is great Amanda! I'm so happy for you! And THANK YOU for posting this original thread and reminding me about it so I could do it!!

I haven't closed mine yet...argh...BUT I've got $902 for it! So that's not bad, for not having to leave my house and do a live show! I'm waiting for 2 people to pick out their raffle prizes.

So I'll probably end February with $1,900 or $2,000 in sales...better than last year's $800!!:D :D
