Hi to all,

What I do is I always have extra gifts on hand. This month I have some gorgeous perfume vials that come in different colours. I only paid $1.55, but they are stunning and look well over $15. They come packaged as well. Every month it will be a different gift. You can be as creative as you like.
Everyone loves to receive something for nothing.

What I do at my shows is I say anyone that books a show today can take this gorgeous gift with them today. They get all excited. Then I tell them you can log onto my website and actually design your table. We have over 4000 pieces of jewellery and you can choose your own selection.Then they really get excited because they are involved in the planning of the show.
Then I tell them on the day you will get a Hostess Gift valued at $60 regardless of sales, you will also get some free jewellery and half price Jewellery.
Then the most important part is I say do not stress. It is a casual day and it will be heaps of fun. I am going to spoil you. All of my Hostesses get spoiled and I think this is the key to my diary being booked out.

At yesterdays shows Nadia ( my hostess for the 3rd time) received a perfume vial as a special thankyou gift, a hostess watch , this is valued at $120, then she received 3 items half price and $80 worth of Free Jewellery.
All up Nadia received $700 worth for only $79.

I always make sure that I yell out the results of the Shows to all the ladies. That way they know what IS IN IT FOR THEM.

The key to getting bookings at shows is that the Hostess has to be rewarded as much as possible.

HOSTESSES ARE YOUR FUTURE BUSINESS, WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT TO REWARD THEM AND SPOIL THEM.

Kindest regards

Marina
