Receiving the RUFTH Lanyard at National - A Guide

[PampMomof3]

Thought I would check in to see who'll be receiving the Round Up from the Heart lanyard at National.

You need to have $150 in RUFTH heart donations and that includes the sale of the trivets. You can do a report in P3 and see where your donations are at and do an order history for #2938. Count how many trivets you've sold and multiply it by 2.

When you run your donations report, it starts 9-1-07 through May 31st.

I just did my calculations and I'm $11 away! I WILL hit it by the end of the month! oh yeah, your supply orders count as well!! So don't forget to count those!

Whew! I have $151.40 ($69.40 donations & 41 trivets) How do I see supply round-up, I always do that too.

 

[PampMomof3]

I went in and manually checked since 9-1-07. Pain in the butt but luckily there weren't that many!!

Great JOB on 41 trivets. I only sold 16!

 

[pamperedlinda]

I increased my trivet sales this year by picking a charity to donate my trivet commission to. My banker's daughter has cancer so I donate $3 per trivet sold to Cure Childhood Cancer. I announce this at all my shows and pass her picture around (I call it my Trivet's for Terry campaign). I tell everyone how they can feel good knowing that not only are they helping someone hungry to have a meal, that they are also halping to find a cure for a nasty disease. Trivet sales have gone down in the last few months though.

To count your RUFTH you can run a donation report. To see how many trivets you sold, run a sales report on item #2938.

To count your HWC donations, count how many items you sold (on supply order too) and calculate the percentage of your fundraisers, if you had any.

I have 28 trivets + 143.70 in round ups...= $195.70 so far...and 23 HWC items sold, oh no - make that 24, I forgot host items.

 

[sfdavis918]

I missed it this year. I really slacked on mentioning it at my shows. I am definitely committed to doing it this year though. I am trying to re-vamp my shows so that they are more organized and I can touch on everything!

 

[chefann]

I'm at about $120, not counting my round up amounts on supply/sample orders.

 

[dianevill]

I'm at about the same as Ann. I really thought I'd be higher as I mention it at all my shows .

I don't think I'll make it for RUFTH or HWC individually (MAYBE HWC), but combined I'll hit $150.

 

[jwpamp]

I mention it at the end of my shows when I tell them what forms of payment we accept.

I always total the order and then tack on the "round up". I tell them that they can choose whichever amount they want (the regular amount or the round up). Either way it's on the receipt.

If they choose to not round up, I cross it off and circle the other amount.

Most people round up (probably 98%).

Try it!

 

[dianevill]

At the end of my shows I talk briefly about the order forms. I always explain the RUFTH, and then tell them, if you circle it, I'll automatically round up, if you cross it off, I won't. If you leave it blank, I'll ask. Most do circle it, but I have to admit I'm surprised at the number of people that cross it off.

Maybe I just need more shows!

I'm going to try your method, Janice, at my show today.

 

[DebbieJ]

I checked at the end of Feb and had $337.51 in donations and sold 28 trivets. I haven't checked since.

 

[sfdavis918]

I'm going to try your method, Janice, at my show today.

Definitely let us know how it goes!

 

[pamperedbecky]

I can't seem to get my donations report to work. I go through the steps of printing it up, but then no PDF file pops up. Weird. I have no idea where I am for RUFTH, but I know I'll have a good amount for HWC. Without even counting the pink products, I know I'll have over $400 in donations just from my two HWC fundraisers. I LOVE this month!

 

[Ginger428]

I dont know if theres a way to check, but individual orders off our PWS can also be rounded up...:thumbup:

 

[PamperedDor]

I have 239.69 in Round up ( not including todays show that I haven't put in P3 yet and sold 72 trivets!!

HWC - well - that isn't going so well....

 

[PamperedDor]

I mention round up in the beginning of my show when I go over the order form - I also mention the trivet and pass it around at that time - stressing great teacher gifts, coaches gifts etc. Then at check out I ask every person if they would like to round up. In the 2 years I have done it I have only had 2 people say no - most round up to the next dollar some even go higher!!!

 

[raebates]

I clicked on "so close I'll make it" because my sales and donations are at $149.38. Didn't think about supply orders, though. That would put me over. Yippee!

 

[pamperedbecky]

My report finally popped up like 10 minutes later. I'm at $115, so I've got a ways to go, but I have 4 more shows this month and a few catalog shows to close out. If I'm close, I'll just tack a big donation onto a supply order or something.

You are such a cheater! LOL

 

[pamperedbecky]

Well, it would make up for all the times I forget to round up my supply orders, kit enhancement and personal orders.

Well, sometimes ya just gotta do what ya gotta do!

 

[merego]

I started in March and have only sold 2 trivetsand only 63.82 in round ups I'll get em next year

 

[wadesgirl]

I marked Close but will earn it! I have just around $122 in donations and 7 trivets sold. I do talk about it at every show and ask each guest through the line if they want to round up. I also offer a free trivet to each host who collects 7 orders before their show. So far I have only given away 1!

 

[StacieB]

Not going to make it this year, darn!! next year!! I might being last years to wear as they are more comfortable! We will see!!

 

[Gina M]

I'm at $138.26 right now with one more show this week for the month - so I'm hoping to hit it - just need some generous souls at my next show. I know I'll hit it for HWC cause I'm over $170 with a HWC fundraiser I did. Would be cool to get it in two categories.

 

[wadesgirl]

I just entered in my 3 shows from this weekend and I'm up to $141 in donations and it will be 8 trivets. I hate it being this close but I'm sure I'm over!

 

[jbdowd0798]

I have a question. Do the donations that are sent in using the new form they have count towards the $150?? We played Bunco last night and I have $45 in donations for HWC but just curious if it will count towards it?

Also, is it my undestanding in reading the posts you can get a lanyard for COMBINED HWC and RUFTH??? Or did I mis read the post with the guidelines??

Thanks.

 

[krzymomof4]

I am so far away from it that I am ashamed and supprised at the same time.

You're right...there are 3 ways

1...150.00 combined
2...150.00 rufth
3...150.00 hwc

 

[jbdowd0798]

You rock Ginger! Thanks for the information. I think I'll hit it with the combined. I don't think I've sold more than 3 trivets in the year I've done the business.

 

[chefann]

I don't think I've sold more than 3 trivets in the year I've done the business.

Hint: give trivets a Christmas presents. I give them to my parents, my in-laws and DH's and my siblings. It's a useful gift, and they start to look forward to them. And that's a guaranteed 7 sold (for me) right there.

 

[susanr613]

I ran my donation totals and was shocked to see $151.11! I do ask everyone who orders at a show...so the pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters really do add up.

Cool!

 

[jbdowd0798]

ah good idea. Maybe I'll just stock up on them (one per month or something) and use them for gifts.

 

[pcchris]

I just heard this...at your shows, when you talk about rounding up, tell your customers that if they DO NOT want to round thier orders, go ahead and draw a line though the heart on the bottom of the order form (for those of you that use PC's order forms), that will break the heart.

I figured I'd share that with all of you.

 

[aried]

I have $122.29 but I did a bingo for HWC show with $517.00 in sales.

[quiverfull7]

Yea! I made it this year. I'm at $282.63 for RUFTH and with an HWC FR + pink things over $250 donated to HWC! YAHOO! I got much better after NC last year about remembering to ask about rounding up and so I'm excited!
