Ok, i just did a file search for Catalog Show Letters, and based on the letter I just saw, they mentioned a minimum of a $400 show to count as a catalog show, but when I look on pg 47 in the catalog..that doesn't seem to be the case?

Can someone explain to me why they would make the minimum amount $400 when the catalog doesn't say the same thing?

just trying to learn, as I am about to send out to Catalog show packets..
 
may be just saying that to keep the shows higher. on avg catalog shows don't do as well.
 
They may be speaking of a special incentive that they are offering that host.
 
Catalog show, or any show for that matter, has to be $150 to be counted as a show. No free product for a $150 catalog show.
 
$150 in Commissionable sales is a show - no matter what kind.
 
It's $150 in guest sales ... so $150 in addition to the host order.
 
Yes - the host order never counts.
