SUMMARY

This discussion centers on planning a fundraiser show for three charities using PC products, specifically a pink package priced at $25. The key concern is whether guest specials contribute to the charity's earnings, particularly if only the pink package is sold. It is confirmed that guest specials do count towards commission, allowing the charity to receive 15% of guest specials if total sales exceed $600. This clarification is crucial for ensuring the fundraiser's success and maximizing donations.

I have just become a consultant for PC. Already planning a fundraiser show in May my friend is hosting. She wants to sell a lot of the pink stuff, we are going to promote it as a package, for 25$ you get the pink stuff and donate to three worthy causes, HWC, her cause and Round up from the heart (18.50 for the products, tax, shipping and 75 cent round up all comes to 25 even).

Anyway my question is this. I know the host specials don't count as sales, how about the guest specials? Will her charity get 15% of the guest specials in the HWC month if people only buy the pink package?

I don't want her to do all this and her charity gets very little money if no one places additional orders. She will be so mad if she does all this work and this happens so I am asking before the fact. I e-mailed the HO the question but thought one of you ladies on here might know the answer as well.

I figure if this is the case she can push additional sales as well as the pink stuff to be sure her charity gets some money, I just need to know so I can inform her of that fact.

Thanks,
Susan
 
...the gues specials always count toward your commission and for the guest sales so they will make 15% percent on that if there sales are over 600!

Great!! I definitely don't want my friend mad at me if it was a misunderstanding of the way PC fundraising works. She is a PC fanatic like me and I need those future sales, haha.

Thanks Tiffany for replying, I appreciate it.
