Semi-Hijack: I heard an idea that some have done in the last year or so in lieu of black Friday... because on that Friday, most people are OUT shopping and not at home to order online. The MONDAY after Thanksgiving (and I don't know what they officially call it but it does have a name now) is the day of the year that more orders are placed online than any other day... so some consultants decided to run their sales that day instead. HTH!
 
Good idea Colleen. Thanksgiving is late this year, so that Monday is already Dec 1st and wouldn't count for SAT though. :(

That's ok Colleen.....I've never been very successful w/a phone sale Black Friday or the one I do for SuperBowl so I thought I'd theme my Nov. Bingo
we'll see if this works.

I can't attach the flier b/c it's in Publisher.

my catchy phrase is:
7 weeks til Christmas
7 ways to win PC bingo cards

then I tell them how they get the cards.....

You're right Deb! Bummer!

Anne could you please post the details on this? Can you save it as Word and email it to me? [email protected] I would like to put this in my newsletter which I am working on right now. I think the Bingo might be a unique spin that will intrigue customers. I hope you get this Anne!

I think they call it Cyber-Monday.
 
I just sent out a Black Friday email at 10am offering 20% off...already got $180 in orders!!
 
That is awesome Carolyn!!
 
I'm up to $230 now!
 
Great Job Carolyn! I'm going to do a Cyber MOnday sale I think. I'm still pondering the idea around in my head. Decisions!

I'm pondering that idea as well. I need to get my head back on after all of our family time. We had 19 for dinner last night and my house is a wreck. I need to take some time to think it all through! :)

I'm thinking about doing that too. Are you offering any specials?
 
I'm waiting for Joy to set up my iContact account because I'm doing the Tasty Tidbits newsletter through her, with the iContact option. Then I may offer a Customer Appreciation Sale in December for those last minute holiday shoppers. I should be hitting $6000 when I submit my last 3 shows today and tomorrow for November, so I don't need the sales for the SAT. Plus having it in December will hopefully allow me to get more PC$.:):)
 
Would anyone who did this yesterday or is doing it Monday be willing to share what they did or are doing? I have one idea from another director that I'm thinking of using but wanted to get some more ideas to see what I like best. :DThanks in advance for sharing!!!!

Colleen, if you would email me your email address, I will forward you what I sent out to my contacts - it was so thrown together and last minute - I was shocked at the response it brought in.
 
I wanna see it too Carolyn! [email protected] Maybe your good-luck-mojo will rub off on me. BTW...you never answered my other email I sent you....
 
Thanks Carolyn! I just e-mailed you! :)
 
Me too Carolyn! jenningsdeb @ gmail.com
 
Got IT! Thanks Carolyn! :)
 
Can you send it to the list that we created a while back? If you need it again let me know and if you aren't on the list let me know and I'll add you and send the revised list on to everyone.
 
Great idea Beth - I just sent it :)

Pie Crust Shield

I will put it on their order the night of their party!

Good luck!!! IT seems that even though CC is down, our PWS seem to work. Although we'd have to get on CC in order to set the show up on our website. Grrrrr.
 
ARGH!! I'm trying to submit an agreement!! I need it up!! I need it up!!

Good Luck Melody!!
