toGet December Bookings With Host Specials

[babywings76]

Are you showing your trifle bowl and beaded serving sets together with the bowl empty, or are you filling the trifle bowl as a centerpiece, or are you doing a recipe to showcase it?

I just bring the serving set (because it is relatively light and easy to pack) and talk about the Trifle bowl. But generally I don't book based on the specials. I just want people booking because it is a great opportunity. They can get so much for FREE!! And half-price, and a DISCOUNT!! Then a discount for a whole year!! That's a pretty good reason to host a party.

I've been passing around the serving set. I don't carry the trifle bowl with me. I've had 3 of my 4 bookings book after seeing the beaded serving set.

I don't really book according to the host specials. They are just a bonus. Anyone can get our AWESOME host benefits and have a fun show any day of the year.

I've been bringing the Trifle Bowl, but not so much for the bookings, as just to sell it this time of year...I've probably sold about five in the past 3 weeks because I have it decorated for a centerpiece & carry it with me (in the bottom of my TTA bag)...since I carry that bag, it's not much to just add it..I booked a friend for December, because she wants that item, but it wasn't a booking from a show; she's a past host.I do think it helps to have it this time of year...although, it's a great item to sell ALL year...

Does bringing it to shows help with sales? I was thinking of purchasing it, but I'm not sure how much I will use it. If it will help me with sales, I just might, otherwise I don't think that I will!

I know it's not the main reason for people book shows, but I like to show them what's on special anyway as the added perk they can get. I love it and it always get wows when I show it to people. But so far I've only sold one, and it wasn't from a guest at a show. I was debating dressing it up as a centerpiece, but didn't know if it was worth the trouble. There are awesome pictures in the catalogs, so I just was wondering if I should just keep it empty-- like I usually do so I can show off the removable stand--or if dressing it up might be what I need to actually sell one (or get them thinking about getting it on sale in December)

I sold 6 of them at a fundraiser for my daughter's school on Saturday because I had it decorated as the centerpiece of my table. I had a candle in it surrounded by pointsetta flowers with a silver ribbon tied around the base. I also use mine as a decoration on our coffee table year-round though so it is usually decorated.
