Itemized or Write-In Sales Receipts?

[PC_CPR]

Hi,
Just a newbie here wondering what you and/or your guests prefer. I had a few guests express a bit of laziness in filling out the write-in form. I remember when I was a frequent guest at shows a few years ago, my consultant used the itemized one....

any feedback?


Thanks,

Cath

Write-Ins!!!! I can hardly see the itemized ones and I can never find anything on them. Plus, if you have any left at the end of the season you can't use the itemized, you can carry the write-ins over until you're done with them.

Itemized are a pain...the biggest reason is the writing is so small, and some customers don't have their glasses handy.

...... and some customers don't have their glasses handy.

Neither do some of the consultants!!!

Of course, it's personal choice. However, I enjoy the write-ins better. The itemized order forms in my opinion, just confuse guests at my shows.

The leftover ones I had when I started are used for file folders for my shows. It keeps everything nice and tidy.

Write ins all the way!

my customers always complained about the itemized so all I use is the write-ins! Much easier to look at.

Write-Ins! Don't have to "look" for everything!

Write ins! I tell them they don't have to fill them out completely....item numbers are most important, they can write the product name if they want, then I'll do the math!

I use my laptop at shows so I just type in the item number and get all the prices and totals.

I, too, vote for write-ins...I have a friend who sells Lia Sophia Jewelry, and she gives out wish lists so you can write whatever and then cross it off and all and then she fills out the form at the end of the party. I've been thinking about this, I have previously found writing on the backs of my folders (I've since switched to plastic folders!) and on flyers that I might have included in guest folders. I also brought my computer to a show for the first time ever, and that was kind of nice, I must say, to not worry if I added it all up wrong or what have you. SO anyhow, my vote is for write ins!

I use the write-ins. Funny that you tell your people the number is the most important thing, Deb. My people often write down the wrong number. I'd rather they write the name of the product they want.

I had not thought about bring my computer. It would be so much easier!

Write-In for me too....and for those who balk a bit - just show them an itemized form....I'll be that will change their minds!

My thoughts, exactly. I think people forget just how many products we offer.
