I've got a show on 3/6 for a group that I've seen about 5-6 times since August. There have been different hosts, but it's pretty much the same crowd each time. So, they are all familiar with my demo and PC spiel. So, I'm wanting to just have the recipe already prepared, and basically show off the new spring stuff. But -- I'll need a few games to take up some time. I'll do the new Queen of shoppers, and I'll do the new left/right game. But -- I'd love MORE ideas as to what to do...they don't need to hear me talk about all of our great stuff b/c they own LOTS of it. So, any and all ideas are greatly appreciated. TIA
 
I did my very first show on Sat, and all but 1 of the ladies had been to several parties. My host and I decided on an Amazing Race party. I found the info in the files here. It was a HUGE success and they all went on and on about how awesome the party was! And my sales are closing in on $700! I highly recommend trying it. Really gets them up and active, instead of sitting there and watching/listening. :)
 
I agree with the PP. Choose a theme with your host and offer a prize for whoever gets the most "into it" like wears a costume. It will be something new and different to lure them in!
 
My mother and Aunt were invited to a "girls night out" party one time. They thought that is was TW. But when they got there they were surprised:eek: :eek: .

Needless to say I have never tried this because nobody I know would come.:D Good idea though!

Can somone post the S/S version of Queen of Shoppers or at least point me in the right direction as to where I can find it! Thanks!
 
I think you should have them make the recipes! Get them to use the products--do a recipe that uses our newer ones that none of them would have.
 
I like the race idea. I've done it before and it went over well. I should start pushing that more again.

Definately. My SIL was at my mom's party pretty early and helped me prepare a couple of dips, and got to use a bunch of tools that she normally wouldn't have used....and then she bought most of them!
 
When you do introductions, have them go around the room and talk about their favorite PC item. That often gets them agreeing or talking about one that another person doesn't have and they sell it to each other!
 
I need the new Queen of Shoppers game for SS07 as well. Where do I find it?
 
If you check the files, there's a spa party that would be something unusual for a group of ladies who have "been there". I have mentioned it at my shows and I always get ooohs. :)
