Throw a Fun Bunco Show: Ideas for Entry Fee & Prizes

[hoosierchef]

Ok....So I'm a Bunco Addict. When I read on here that some of you were doing Bunco shows....I got so excited!! I don't know why I never thought of doing one when I sold PC before! (My first Bunco experience came from a Longaberger show.)

So, I'm pitching the idea to my friend. Her family and friends do all kinds of shows all the time, and rather than bore them with the standard show, I thought this would be a fun, exciting way to entice them to come, play and possibly book.

I looking for suggestions on what you think the "entry fee" should be. $5 or $10 and what the break-down on prizes should be. (I think it's good to reward 1-3rd place) I think she'll be able to rack in 12 people at least!

Thanks! Any ideas you can give me would be great!!

What's a bunco show? I have never heard of that...sounds like fun though.

I'm really interested in this too.

I want to do a Bunco show at my house in late Feb for my Last-First Sale. I want to have the last chance to order items that are being discontinued items (along with the stoneware sale) and first chance to order from the new spring/summer catalog. Plus I was thinking of offering additional discounts on discontinued & new items as an incentive to buy them now.

I'm trying to figure out at what level to award the prizes and how much they should be. And, also how to work the shipping. Should I put all of the winner's orders on one big order and cover the shipping? I really don't want winners to pay shipping - unless they are ordering additional items - then their winnings will be added on to their existing order.

Make sense?

Plus I wanted to have some small consolation prizes for those who don't win anything.

I seriously doubt it. I tried to convert it and you lose all the great images. I'll post it anyway and if someone has time....maybe they can. I'm at work and Lunch time is over, so I can't spend anymore time on it.

Keep in mind, this is my first invitation I've ever made! Cheers!
