Ok here's the summary.

2 ladies at work put in large orders. They wanted it divided up so they got the most free cooling racks. One lady said use her daughter's names. The other used her own name. I told them to get more orders to make it a catty show. They did that.

I want them to divide up the show as co-hosts b/c
1 is using the free items
1 is using the host special and 1/2 price

Can they be co-hosts but 1 of them have her name on an order?
Do both co-hosts get 10% off for a full year?

I tried to look this up on here but couldnt find anything.
Thanks
 
I'm not sure if a catalog show can be co-hosted (never done one). But, yes, for a co-hosted show, both hosts get 10% off for a year. They also both get the show discount (15%, 20%, etc.). If you have one of the hosts as a guest also, just use her first initial. I did this with a bridal shower. The host of the shower didn't want her order to take away from the bride, so I put her order in as her first initial & last name. Then I put her full name down as a co-host so she could have 10% off for a year. Hope that helps!

Thank you, yes it does. I could also do this as a cooking show b/c it was during lunch and they tasted something I brought in (PC recipe) so I guess I could qualify it as a cooking show, although I'm sure some would say no.
 
Catty shows can't be co-hosted.

Hey, if you made the effort to make the food & had them sample it, I'd say that counts as a cooking show. I wouldn't think that's any different than a booked cooking show where just 1 or 2 people show up!
 
Total agreement on that.No Catty shows do not have co-hosts but having food is a Cooking Show so there is your answer. I would have counted it that way even if you only serve twinkies!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of co-hosting a home show with a colleague?

Co-hosting a home show with a colleague can enhance the experience by combining your networks, increasing guest attendance, and sharing responsibilities. It allows for a wider range of ideas and product demonstrations, making the event more engaging and fun for attendees.

How do we decide on the date and time for the home show?

When selecting a date and time, consider both of your schedules and availability. It's important to choose a time that works for both hosts and is likely to attract the most guests. Polling your networks for preferred dates can also help ensure better attendance.

How should we split the responsibilities for the home show?

Divide responsibilities based on each person's strengths and preferences. One host could handle invitations and guest communication while the other manages product demonstrations and setup. Clear communication and planning are key to ensuring that all tasks are covered effectively.

What if we have different styles or approaches to hosting?

Having different styles can actually be beneficial, as it can provide a diverse experience for guests. Discuss your approaches beforehand and find common ground. You can also designate certain segments of the show to each host's style to keep things balanced and engaging.

How can we maximize sales during the co-hosted home show?

To maximize sales, promote the event well in advance through social media, emails, and personal invitations. Offer incentives for guests to purchase, such as discounts or special bundles. Engaging demonstrations and sharing personal stories about the products can also encourage attendees to buy.
