Managing a Low Sales Mystery Host Show at Your Bazaar: Tips and Experiences

[pamperedmomto3]

What happens if you offer a mystery host show for a bazaar and you don't have enough sales to offer the incentives? Has that happened to anyone? How did you handle it?

I've had this happen....only not from a fair/bazaar or anything, just one that I did with people I knew. Basically, I just contacted those that participated and let them know that not everyone came through as we had anticipated, and therefore, I've had to adjust the winnings. And then I just re-figure things for those that did do something and offer it up that way. Hope that helps - and bummer that it wasn't as big as you had hoped, but at least it was something!!

I haven't done the fair yet. I just haven't had much success at these things in the past and I want to make sure I'm prepared in the event that this should happen again. I'm hopeful that I'll have big sales but I'm also realistic. I suppose I could contact people to let them know they can have the additional percentage off whatever else they'd like to purchase.

I've made it clear over and over that it will only work when everyone turns in $100 in orders. If everyone doesn't come through, then I'll have to adjust the earnings.

Hi there! Thank you for your question. I have definitely experienced a mystery host show where we didn't have enough sales to offer the incentives. It can be disappointing, but it's important to remember that not every event will be a huge success. In these situations, I try to focus on the positive and be grateful for the sales we did make. I also make sure to communicate with the host and let them know the situation, and offer them some alternative incentives or perks as a thank you for hosting the show. It's also a good idea to brainstorm with the host and come up with some ideas to help boost sales for future events. At the end of the day, it's all about building relationships and providing a great experience for the host and guests. I hope this helps, and don't get discouraged! Every event is a learning experience. Best of luck!
