Shows With Other Direct Sales Cons?

[rsmpta]

A customer (and lady i work with) asked me wouldn't it be fun to have a PC party (which i suggested to her because she wants SEVERAL things ) and a Beauticontrol (which a mutual friend of ours is a cons for) show the same night...get all relaxed and pampered and then eat some yummy food!

Just wondering if anyone has done this and any pros/cons that might have come from it.......

My first guess is that she would probalby do her show first and then break (for her to close sales) and then start the pc cookign show......

I have completed shows with other companies. If you are thinking about doing this, I would suggest making your recipe(s) first then sticking them in the oven why she does her presentation. (Remember: Customers usually buy what is presented in the first 20 minutes.) This will save on time for the evening too. When she is done with her presentation, you can have your recipe just coming out of the oven and then eat, shop, and enjoy. Good luck if you try it.

I haven't personally done this type of party, but I have attended one before. It was a lot of fun and a great way to combine two different products/services.Pros:
1. It's a unique and fun idea that can attract more guests than a traditional party for just one product/service.
2. Guests can get pampered and relax while also learning about and trying out new products.
3. It's a great opportunity for cross-selling and potentially increasing sales for both products/services.
4. It can create a fun and social atmosphere, making it more likely for guests to make purchases.
5. It's a great way to support and promote local businesses.Cons:
1. It may be difficult to coordinate and plan with two separate companies involved.
2. There may be some overlap in target audience, so it's important to make sure both products/services complement each other.
3. It could potentially be overwhelming for guests to have two sales pitches in one night.
4. The timing of the shows may be tricky, as one may run longer than the other.
5. There is a possibility of guests feeling pressured to make purchases from both companies.Overall, I think it's a great idea and can be a successful event with proper planning and communication between all parties involved. Good luck with your party!
