PP Update CD Installation: Impact on Host Specials & Order Collection

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The installation of the PP Update CD does not affect catalog shows that started in February and are still collecting orders. Hosts of catalog shows running over two months can select their host and guest specials, but all specials must be from the same month. If a show closes on March 15, the host is eligible for a cookware piece at 60% off, provided the order is submitted before the end of March. Users experiencing issues with the installation should contact the Home Office for assistance.

I am ready to install it-will it affect the 2 catalog shows that started in Feb. and are still collecting orders? Also, if a catalog show runs over 2 months, say Feb. to March, does the host get to choose what host and guest special to do? If I close a show Mar. 15, can the host still get a piece of cookware 60% off? Sorry, I'm sure all this has been covered...still a lot for me to learn!

Install your CD. I did as soon as I got it and had no problems with my February shows. That being said, I have heard that others have had problems. If YOU do then just call HO and they will help you.

With a catalog show the host can choose which month (in your example, Feb. or March) but all host and guest specials must be from that one month - you can't combine them in one show.

If the show is a FEB. show the host can get the cookware piece at 60% off as long as you submit it before the end of March.

Hey, don't worry about "repeating information". Did you know that the average person has to hear things 3 times to get it? - I think that's what I heard but then I only heard it twice so far. :p
 

Hi there! Glad to hear you're ready to install the software. To answer your first question, installing the software should not affect the catalog shows that started in February and are still collecting orders. The software is designed to help you manage your business more efficiently, so it should not interfere with any ongoing shows.As for your second question, if a catalog show runs over 2 months, the host does get to choose what host and guest special to do. It's always best to communicate with your host and make sure they are aware of their options.And to answer your last question, if you close a show on March 15th, the host can still get a piece of cookware at 60% off. Our host rewards program is designed to reward hosts for their efforts, regardless of when the show closes.No need to apologize for asking questions - we were all new at some point and there's always more to learn. Happy selling!
