Maximizing Christmas Shopping with PC Orders: My Success Story

[Intrepid_Chef]

So I sent an e-mail out to everybody and their sister ... asking people to let me know ASAP if they want anything from PC so they can order stuff for Christmas ...

I got three responses ...

One from the mom of an out of state friend, who, like her daughter, went above and beyond ... got $61 worth of stuff, shipped directly.

One from a lady I know from work who ordered a $25 item

And one from a past hostess ... who originally had a $30 order from someone she knew ... but he backed out. But she STILL wanted the cookie press.

She wouldn't have gotten the cookie press at the sale price because those items don't total $150!

So ... I remembered that my friend's sister wanted the Mix-and-Chop ...

Then added $41 worth of stuff ...

I feel OK about it ... considering I'm making $30 in commission ... so I'm only losing $10 and I'm getting a lot more than that in products.

Frustrating, though!

On the plus side ...

A friend just called me to say if funds come through, she might get the chopper. I told her if she does, I'll give her a discount. Yay! A profit!

I'm debating which to get ... Handy Scraper, Finger Guard, Skinny Scraper or a seasoning! Have $5 left in free product to claim from this little show!

Sorry about that. That happened to me tonight but I only had to add on $20. The ONLY reason I did that was because two of the orders were for gift certificates that had to be submitted today to get in time for Christmas. I wouldn't have had to add anything but a $100 order backed out b/c she got a PC invite from her niece and cancelled her order with me. Oh well.

I didn't get any free b/c it was a catty show. At least I didn't lose any and I got to get the Trifle bowl at a great price. One more gift to give!

Oh ... I got the Triffle Bowl at my sister's party ... I think I am going to keep it because it will come in handy at future shows ...

Isn't it amazing how we always see ONE MORE THING we need every time we look at the book?

Hi there! I totally understand the frustration of trying to get orders for the holiday season. It sounds like you did a great job reaching out to people and getting some responses. Sometimes people change their minds or plans fall through, but it's great that you were able to still make a sale and even add on some extra items. It's all about being flexible and finding ways to make the most out of each situation. Keep up the good work! Happy holidays!
