If you have two hosts, here's what you do. Host A is the "original" show. Put Host B as a booking on Host A's show. Submit Host A's show first. Submit Host B's show and offer the past host special to Host A. How do you decide who is A or B? Whoever you knew first or, if you met them at the same time, whoever works the hardest!

Kate's idea is a great one as it helps one of your hosts get 4 knives instead of 2 at the 60% off or split it between the 2 and each one gets 3 knives (the PHD benefit would be put in with the 2 host knives & then you'd split the knives when they came in).

Technically we are not supposed to split shows. However, you might see if your hosts get enough outside orders as well as show orders to make up 2 shows (a cooking show & a catalog show or 2 cooking shows if she'll make something using PC products & take into work). This would allow the host to book a show off of herself and at the "2nd" show to get double the hostess benefits. Do the cooking show first and then do the catalog show. For the 2nd/catalog show you'll need to enter the host as both the host & then add her as a guest at the show. This month that would mean that the host would be able to get a total of 6 knives at the 60% off which is a great deal.

If there are two hosts already, I don't see it as splitting the shows. I hate co-hosts because there is only one host special and only one of them can get the past host special at shows booked from them!

I usually suggest that the host that chooses the host special should let the other get the past host special at the show booked from theirs. (And usually they are friends/relatives, so they work together....if there aren't any bookings, then we split the FPV or half off items more like 20/80 or 30/70 instead of 50/50 to make up for the lack of 2 host specials)

Good point Kate, I missed that when I was reading last night.
