I need to get some input on holding a Mystery Host Show. I have sent out my invitations but want this to be a fun show (out of the ordinary).

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
 
I am doing raffles throughout for different grab bags of stuff (extras that I have/things from supply/retired stuff i got from surprise boxes)

Other than that, I am just doing a quick demo (~30 min) as everyone has seen my full demo.

plus I am giving everyone a new Season's Best and free shipping on their order.

hth!
 
How do you go about giving everyone free shipping??
 
In PP, you would add the shipping amount as "consultant payment"
 
So you would be paying for each persons shipping?? That could add up even if it is only $4.
 
It can add up, but my director didn't do this at her last mystery host 6 months ago and sales were $600 below normal... I figure if I am only doing this twice a year and I am getting repeat customers from this, then in the long run it is worth it. Plus, it's a write off on my taxes!
