Do Gift Registries Count as Catalog Shows for Bookings?

[pelamm]

Can gift registries count as catalog shows for bookings? Or does someone only get credit for a booking if a bridal shower is actually held? I tried looking in the Gift Registry Tutorial and the Hostess Coaching pdf file, but didn't find an answer. I have a host who is a bridal consultant, and is going to have a client register and want to make sure I get it entered appropriately in the paperwork.

Thanks!

I just did my first Pampered Bride show and had the bride set up her Gift Registry. Unfortunately, b/c whenever someone purchases through the online gift registry, it is considered an Individual order for our commission....which means that I couldn't get it included in the Pampered Bride show to help with benefits based on sales. I am thinking that the same holds true if your host is a catalog show host.

I emailed Field Services and they said that if the guests contacted you, the consultant, directly and then you update the gift registry, then it could be managed through a catalog/Pampered Bride show (where the sales would support the benefits).

Hi Paula,From my understanding, gift registries can count as catalog shows for bookings. As long as the host is promoting your products and providing a link or information about how guests can purchase through your company, it can be considered a catalog show. However, it's always best to check with your company's policies and procedures to be sure.In terms of getting credit for a booking, it's ultimately up to the host and their decision to hold a bridal shower. However, if the host is promoting your products and generating sales through the gift registry, I would say it's fair to receive credit for a booking.I would recommend reaching out to your company's support team or your upline for further clarification and guidance on how to properly enter this type of show in your paperwork.Best of luck with your host's gift registry and I hope it leads to successful bookings for you!Best,
