Maximize Your Direct Sales With a Website: Benefits, P3 Orders, and More!

[khollein]

I haven't set up my website yet but was reading some of the other q&a and am now confused. All of my first shows are catalog shows b/c most of my family friends live out of state. What benefits do I have by having the website for them to use for their shows? I keep reading something about online orders to submit in P3. Does this mean my out of state hosts wouldn't have to fill out individual order forms for their "guests". I wish their was a manual for P3 to answer all these questions. Any help would be great. And how do you know if they are online orders or orders to be added to a show? And how does your host recieve their ID and Password once you have a website. Thanks for any help.

When you set up a catalog show (or any show) on your website, you'll add each hosts name. Then when their "guests" want to order, they go online and type in the host's name and order. When they enter the host's name, the order will go through to you where you will have to then input it into P3.

Any random person (not going through a show) can order as well as an individual order that will be transmitted straight to the HO and you won't have to do anything but mail them a receipt.

When you input the host's information on your website while setting up the show, it will assign the host ID for them to use on your website.

Hope that helps! I love my website....

So when ordering online are you required to use a c/c and I guess you get that info as long as their order info (for a hosts catalog show)? That would be so much easier then the host having to collect everything and then us go over it on the phone or her have to mail it all back. Plus saves on catalogs/forms.

Thanks,

Yes, if they order online they would use their CC number. It would be MUCH easier for you and the host if all orders came online.

Good luck!

The guest can actually choose how to pay, but about 9 times out of 10 my guest chooses to put in a cc. Occasionally I'll have the 1 or 2 who want to give a check to the host. It does make it TONS easier to have them put everything on the website & pay with a cc.
