Whoa...I just gave notice at my "real job" & until I find another, I need to spiff up my sales.. Me too, please!!! I could use some pointers on having an open house. From the beginning..I'm clueless & uncreative Any help would be sooo appreciated!!! And, our cluster is close to TPC so I want to help out there as much as I can. I usually only do shows on Sat & Sun. when I'm working & my house is a mess right now, but if I schedule an open house, it will force me to do more than just blaze a trail!

Do a search for Open House here and you will find TONS of ideas!

But, one thing that you MUST DO: Personally invite everyone. Then send out cool FUN invites, then do reminder calls and gather orders from those who can't attend. You know...like we tell our hosts to do?!?!?!?

We have to be a "good host" in order for our events to work out well, too!! LOL

Good, no, GREAT points....Thanks, Kelly!

NOW is the time!!!! Promote HWC!!!! People LOVE to help out charity, especially when they have the opportunity to do it while shopping! MAKE IT PINK!!! Invite everyone and include incentives for bringing guests!!!

I have several shows in May that are not fundraisers, but I'm still wanting to promote HWC..... I am donating 5% of my commission, and matching PC's donation of $1 per item sold - in memory & in honor of my friend Michelle - who ended her battle w/ breast cancer this January.......SO I took a HWC fundraiser invitation that I found on here (THANKS!) and tweaked it so it would work for all my shows this month......I'll attach it so you can see.

I would not have an open house. I'd have a regular show at your house with a firm starting time.

I do it once a year for customer appreciation and it's a lot of fun. Last August my sales were over $1000 and I had 19 people there.

Like has been mentioned, you MUST host coach yourself! Make a huge guest list, invite everyone, make reminder calls, and collect outside orders!

Becky, I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. What you're doing is a fantastic way to honor your friend. I wish you much success!
