I have a catalog show going on that is scheduled to end on Friday. The hostess has said that she will be gone until late Sat. night. I said no problem but then realized that Sunday is the 1st. Will closing on Sunday affect the guest and hostess specials? She has guests picking their free spice so I don't want to mess that up. Thank you!!
 
I believe when my director talked about this she said as long as the date of the catalog show or cooking show is dated in March you can still receive the March special.
 
Carole,
It wouldn't affect the guest and host special because the show happened in March. The sales from the show will be posted in April since you're sending it in April.

Hope this helps.

Ok that makes sense...thank you!!
 
You'll also get paid on the 22nd for that show instead of the 8th.
 
It won't effect her specials at all. You have, I believe, the whole month after to submit a show (so until April 30 to submit for March). What will be effected is your March commission. Commission for this show will be part of your April pay.

Closing date also effects any promotions, so be sure to read that fine print.

What should I do if I have a party scheduled on a Sunday?

If you have a party scheduled on a Sunday, consider moving the closing date to Saturday or extending the party to allow guests to place their orders before the Sunday closure. This way, you can maximize the benefits of any specials.
