So I really want to earn more than level 1 this time around for Sell-A-Thon, so I did an added special to the guest special. Attached is my flyer that I made for it.

Thanks! I don't have Adobe professional or Publisher, so I am always grateful for y'all's help on that sorta stuff!
 
Great Job Alison! I'll have to steal it for the future!!!:D
 
Alison - what a natural and inventive idea! That is a great pairing - but w/o spending alot of extra money! Good Job!
 
Thanks Alison!! I WILL be using this!
 
That is a terrific idea ... thank you for sharing. My June bookings are actually looking pretty good (right now that is). I wonder how I could incorporate this for July and August.
 
Great idea. Great flyer.

What if you use the spices for guests who spend more than $100?? That would maybe push a few people to a bit higher sales total???
 
Thanks for sharing.
 
CuteLove the idea. I am new and apprecaite all of the ideas I can get!!
Thanks
 
If I add to the guest special, I tend to have them spend $70 for the additional gift. That way, the $10 increase pays for their gift. I did this in March so they received two seasonings. Seasonings are the perfect additional gift (I tend to add the BBQ Rub if I'm choosing) since they may become a repeat order. I also am sure to add my info to each bottle if possible (give stickers to your hosts!) so they can easily contact me to reorder.
 
oh - love the reorder sticker idea!!
 
I JUST started doing it. I have a friend that sells Usborne Books and puts her sticker on them so they can easily contact her or gives stickers to hosts to put on the books. Can't do that with most of our products, but it works for seasoning!

I love this idea of putting your sticker on it for reorder! That is so great! How many people added the extra $10 to get a rub when you did it? I really like the idea, I just want to make sure that the number won't scare people away. (I guess I'm just so used to $60 now, that it doesn't seem like a lot, but that extra $10 might make me weary about spending so much, if that makes any sense)
