Again, I wasn't sure where to put this thread, but I figured that I'd be doing the show to increase my sales and to help me reach December's consultant incentives. So here is where I chose to post this thread!
I want to hear from you all that have done Mystery Host, Host/Customer Appreciation, Open Houses, shows where we do them in our homes and invite all or well a lot of our hosts and preferred customers.
Okay so my question is: How many people here have done one or more of these shows on a week night? And what was it like? Was it successful, was it worth it?
Here is my dilema, I have done MANY mystery host/host appreciation/season's kickoff shows in my home, but I have NEVER done one during the week, it has always been on a Saturday evening. I have always had GREAT success with these shows on the weekend. But my problem is that I haven't done a show like this in the last 2 years because my husband had asked that I don't do them anymore, at least not while our house needed some attention! Our carpets and floors were in bad shape. Well, we have accomplished everything but our bathroom floor. He also didn't like it when I did them because I would kick him and the kids out of the house for most of the day! If we had a bigger home, I never would do that but we don't and they just don't know how to see me here and not expect me to everything I normally do with them! LOL! Well, my hubby is out of town right now and will be gone next week too and I was thinking about trying to organize a show in 10 days and do it on Thursday night, he won't come home until Friday night. But I'm nervous that I won't get the attendance that I use to get! And I don't want to go through the effort, if it's not going to be worth it! I will have my kids here with me, but I think that would be okay, because I would have the 6 hours they would be in school that day to get ready for it.
So I want to know who has done it during the week and would it be worth it to me and at this time of the year would it be better to make it an open house 6-8:30 of make it a set time of 6:00 and not really do a demo but tell people about the upcoming specials to book January and February and promote holiday gift giving and catalog shows for December? Please help me decide quick because I have been going back and forth in my mind all weekend. I want to, but I'm nervous about a week day show, because I need it to be worth my time!~
Any thoughts, advice and words of wisdom from those that have done this, would be welcome! :balloon:
