OK. I hate to whine...but here I go!
I sent out Linda's amazing email back at the beginning of the month. Ended up with only 6 takers. Out of those 6...I have had to HUNT DOWN 5. Only my one friend (graduated HS with her, she lives out of state) actually DID WHAT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO!!
Out of the others...one lives about 3 hours away, so now I have to have each of them direct shipped...one got ONE order which is out of state, so I have to pay the extra to direct ship...one really tried but just couldn't get any takers so her and her mom ordered $50 worth of product...one didn't hit the $100 but thinks she's getting the cookbook, rub, and 30% off more stuff (she is supposed to call me back later today to give me the orders she got and I am telling her that she can get the "free rub" for contacting me on time in the beginning, but since she didn't "participate fully by collecting $100" she isn't getting the rest).....and one other lady collected enough, but I had to hunt her down too.
Now...I "get it" that I didn't go and do a party somewhere, but heck, I think my time would have been better spent DOING A SHOW!
Next time around (if I ever do this again) I will notate that out of state orders, and any partipants that live more than 45 minutes away from me will need to do DIRECT SHIPPING so I am not eating that cost. Live and learn, right?? lol

I did a mystery host show when I started but did it only at work and didn't advertise the benefits except that someone would get host special and others would get "free gifts".I only drew one Mystery Host...
