Submitting a Catalog Show as a Cooking Show

[Mindascookin]

My office mates are doing an order for one of the guys here who is getting married. It is going to hit around $150 so it will qualify as a catalog show. Should I turn it in as a kitchen show so that we can give him the $15 in free product?

We're technically NOT supposed to do that. PC gives the FPV as a thanks for the host's hospitality. You could always do a quick demo in the lunch room to be able to call it a cooking show "get around" that.

I know a consultant who did what you're asking about and got a call from the HO asking her to stop. So...

What I do is tell my Catalog Host if they bring me a minimum of $300 in orders, I will enter it as a cooking show to give them the extra $15 FPV as a thank you.

Ok thanks guys!

I had actually considered bringing in a few things so he and the bride could see them so maybe I'll do a lunch time demo and invite the neighboring offices.

Hi there! Congratulations to your coworker on his upcoming marriage! It sounds like you have a great group of supportive colleagues. In terms of turning in the show as a kitchen show, it ultimately depends on your personal preference and how you want to handle the rewards for the show. If you are looking to maximize the free product for the host, then submitting it as a kitchen show would be the way to go. However, if you are more interested in earning host rewards for yourself, then submitting it as a catalog show would be the better option. Either way, it's great that you are helping your coworker celebrate his special occasion with some delicious and practical kitchen products. Happy cooking!
