Hi, my neighbor wants that DCB (yes!!) so she wants to hold an online show with her friends and relatives out of state. She wants to start it soon, but really wants a November show. If I open it now online, to close on like Nov 2 or 3, how can people ordering now get the November guest special? Or can they at all? IF I put it under "November sales diary" in P3 and sync it to the PWS, will that work?Would I need to wait and have them order in November? Really don't want to.or could some get the Oct special and some the Nov special??? This one I think is unlikely.She doesn't want them to have to mail orders to me, the big selling point is the PWS.thanks for any help you can give

Set the party up on your website with a November 1 start date. That will allow orders to be placed with the November guest special and your host would choose from the November host specials.

Thanks Crystal, and would they be able to order now, before the start date?
 
Exactly what I was going to say. Even if it shows a start date of Nov 1, they can still order now, but the Nov specials will show up. ;)
 
They can place orders now but the order won't be submitted until you turn the party in through P3. The orders placed through a show online don't automatically go to home office for submission.

What should I communicate to my guests about an overlapping month end show?

It's important to inform your guests about the overlapping month end situation so they understand the timeline for placing orders and how it may affect promotions. Encourage them to order early in the show to maximize the benefits for the host.
