I have problems getting people to spend the $60, so these specials will be a hit in my area, I think. Maybe HO is just trying to mix things up for us. When I started, the specials were usually % or $ off the regular price - it's only recently that they started having the freebies every month.
 
You can still offer them something if that seems to make your average sale go up!

Obviously, it's not the same as when PC pays for it, but.....
 
OofThanks so much. These are very helpful.
 
Can you order more than one guest special since it's not a freebie or is it still one per order?
 
No limit. Wa-hoo!
 
Once the new sprinkles are out, I will def offer one of these with a purchase, probably a $100 order. They are AMAZING, and will be a pantry item that your customers will come back to order when they get low...
 
Sprinkles?

We got samples at conference...I used the cinnamon on my bagel this morning and it was fabulous.... they will be aweseome for ice cream, recipes, coffee cakes, etc etc!
 
Thank you! Those are great. I appreciate you sharing!

Ahhh - I am trying to fix the word one to look like that but having no luck so far Not sure why this is happening. I even sent in a request to PC to make a form that is modifieable in the consultant and make checks payable section so we don't have to stamp or label every page.
