I have a host who had her show in November. When she heard about January's special (Extar FPV) and 20% off stones, she booked a January show from herself.

So when she has her show in January, would she have 2 orders on the one show? One order would be as current host and the other order would be past host booking benefit of 60% off a stoneware piece? Or can she put the past host benefit on her current host order??

Hope that made sense!
Thanks!
 
You'll have to put in two orders for her. And there will be shipping on the guest order, but it will also count toward the guest sales.

That's what I thought - but I wanted to make sure in case she was upset about the shipping! (Didn't think about it counting towards the guest sales - so that is a good thing!)

Thanks!
 
If you ever have this happen where the host is buy products at 60% off, put the most expensive items as their guest order and it counts more towards their show.
 
They talked about this at our regional training ... they called it Double Dipping and encouraged it as a way to rebook our hostesses.

None of us had any idea people could do this!

I assume this means that the hostess could purchase two of the same items that month ...

Yes, it doesn't matter what they order since one is as a guest and one is as the host. I tell all my hosts when they close their show that I will do this for them.
