I think that's a great idea! What you can do is have a "mystery host" catalog show. For everyone who places an order, they get entered in a drawing to be the "host" and receive all the host benefits. You can even step it up a notch by saying whoever brings in an additional two orders from friends outside of the office where they work will get two entries or something like that. It's a great way to motivate them to collect a few more orders and make it a higher show total. It's SO easy because it can all be done online. They can send out email invitations to others to participate in the catalog show, too.

That was just one idea! Maybe there are more out there.

 

I think it would be harder to keep it together if you didn't have one central person to contact. And if you have that person, since they are doing the work, shouldn't they get the benefits? You could always say for every order you give them a seasons best and take that from the benefits. And when they see what the one person is getting for free they would be more inclined to book a show. If you give them all the benefits they may not consider it as much since they already got some of the benefits. Just my thoughts..

 

Hi Wendy.

I approached the secretary at my doctors office, I told her that I have my own businss and would appreciate her support, I explained that all I would need her to do is just pass the catalogues around and collect the orders if anyone is interested. I told her that in exchange she would get some free and some half priced items, and I would explain it all when I dropped off the catalogues.

What I have found also seems to work lately, is I tell them " I had a show last week, the host got $145 of free stuff and she only had 7 orders." they always seem impressed by this and get excited.

I also have been asking to leave catalogues at all the offices I've been to and I got an order yesterday from someone who picked up one of my catalogues.

Hope this helps
