Has anyone had success adding the host special after the show has been submitted?
 
Yes, call HO right away!! Good Luck:)
 
No. Once the order is submitted there are no changes/additions allowed. At least, that's the policy and what I've always experienced.
 
I have made the same mistake and called HO. They added the special, but it shipped seperately and arrived a day or so behind the rest of the show.
 
this happened to me just last week! i called HO about an hour after i submitted the show and was told to wait until the order shipped and call back. i did, and when i called back i was told i didn't have to wait, they could have added it to the order.

ultimately, it's being shipped to the host

I will call first this Monday morning...since it's a weekend and all...

thanks all - maybe this won't be so bad after all...
 
Good luck, guess it all depends on who you get on the phone. A few months back my significant other had a heart attack, after spending all afternoon, evening and night at the hospital with him, I left in just enough time to get an order submitted before midnight (end of month). Needless to say with my mind being elsewhere and rushing I left off the host special. I called HO first thing in the morning and was told there was nothing I could do other than make the purchase and eat the additional discount myself.
 
Just curious. Didn't you apply the hosts money to her show for the host special and then be out of balance? I know things happen but there are so many reminders about the host special when you are getting ready to submit with P3. You watch that will happen to me soon!!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I forgot the host special during a party?

If you forgot to mention the host special during a party, don't panic! You can follow up with your guests after the party via email or social media. Simply explain the host special and encourage them to take advantage of it. You can also remind them that the host will still receive the benefits if they order within the promotional period.

Can I still offer the host special if the party has already ended?

How can I prevent forgetting the host special in future parties?

What if the host is upset that I forgot the special?

Are there any resources to help me remember host specials?
