okay so i'm due to have a baby mid-april and when i send out my april newsletter i wanted to put something in there that says, "hey i'm having a baby but still need you to order stuff so i can stay active". but how would i say that nicely? i'm drawing a complete blank....:confused:
 
You could let people know that you will be "catalog" and online only while you are spending time with the new baby. Everyone understands that...and you can still offer the same great service just via the phone.
 
Put out there that you need people to do catalog shows. I had a baby in September and had some wonderful catalog hosts come through for me that month. Women like to help! I went back to live shows 1 mth after the baby was born.
