Hey , I had heard a while back of some people making coupons, and giving them to a guest like a pile on, with the 90$ in free products, 2 1/2 off items, 25% off, 10% off, 60% off certain items apply..??

Any one have anything like that? I know some of you have vista print, i dont have it.. but i heard it makes really cute stuff!?!
IF any one has anything please share! I am trying to entice my guests to WANT to host!!

THANKS in advance!!!:D
 
I am not sure but wanted to tell you vista print is not something people "have" but it is a website where you can go (anyone can go) to order printed stuff DIRT cheap and very high quality.

any more ideas? any one have something that they already use?
 
Here's something.. you could print them on cardstock and then laminate (or use contact paper). I made them for a $500 show in Publisher, and then copied and pasted into Word. If anyone needs them done for other show sales levels, I can change them easily, just let me know. (they both have 3 pages of coupons)

So do you put these inside your host packets or who do you give them to?

Just reading through this thread....I think it would be a neat idea to hand them one at a time to the host, or a guest, at the show....and talk about all the benefits of hosting as you do.

Becky, I kind of thought that too, giving them to the guests to have them read off out loud, but I was just wondering what Amanda would do with them?:confused:
 
I wasn't paying attention and I hit the Publisher file and it opened up

I tried a few others files and a few opened up but not all - how did this happen?

Thanks

for posting these coupons

That's a great idea! I've been lagging on talking about host rewards lately, this will give me a reason and make it fun!;)
 
I don't use them for anything. I'm not even doing active sales right now (waiting to re-sign). But someone wondered if there were any, so I made them up. LOL I guess ya'll will have to figure out what to do with them.

Hey Amanda, Is there any way that you could take off the color back ground? When i pulled it up on Word, it was freaking out!! LOL!
If you can , if not its fine!
you know what would be cute? A chef hat behind the words! hehe! I wish i knew how to do this stuff!
 
Hmm I just thought of something. You could spread out the coupons, putting one in the back of each guest folder (only some would get the coupons in their packet). Then when you want to talk about hosting benefits, ask everyone to look in the back of their packet/folder and those who have a coupon, stand up and read off the coupon, maybe get something (twixit, candy, recipe card). It involves guest interaction, gets people excited to see exactly how MANY different perks there are, and helps you not forget to mention any one of the host rewards.
