Hey, I just thought to strum up sales in April, why not offer a TAX-FREE Cooking Show like the "tax week" of April 15th, which would run from Sun, April 13th through Sat, April 19th? Anyone who books a show on any of those days/evenings will qualify for this special savings week-long event. But, just to those who ATTEND the shows not on outside orders.
 
What do you think?  Should I throw something like this in my newsletter next month? I'd like to hear your thoughts about it, too!

GREAT IDEA Marion!!
 
GO FOR IT!!! I am actually doing my newsletter today - so I can put it in the mail this month - because I WANT people to see both April & May benefits -- esp since the price of postage will be going up soon AHH
 
BUT WONDERFUL IDEA!!!

for those that have no Tax in their state - you could always do one of the following
 
1. take 1.50 off shipping
2. take 1.50 off an item
3. going big ----- spend XX and get 1 item on page 15 FREE (in USA it is the Grilling page - the most expensive item is the new Grill Basket --- at $25.50 but you can always order that under your hosts order and get her discount) but the Basting Bottle is on that page ---- and that is a GREAT Hit esp. with the summer months coming up
 
just an idea

this is before they offered something free with $60 but I would do tax free if you spent X amount.

One of the consultants in my cluster has done this type of show.  She offered to anyone that would host a cooking show on April 15 (or whatever day was the last day to mail your tax return) no sales tax on all orders.  She told us that it was a great show and the commission more than made up for the sales tax she paid out of her pocket.  I'm thinking about offering this to get some April bookings.

It sounds great but does anyone have any ballpark figure on how much you could expect to have to eat out of pocket.

on a $1000 show at 6.5% tax is $65 and comm. is at 22% is $220 so you make $155. Hope that helps. Jen

Perhaps this is what you need. I updated a document (I'm not sure where I found the original).

Sorry, Allison, I let you down but thankfully Trish has come through for us. Speaking of which.....WOW, Trish!!! Super flyer invite.  With a flyer invite like this one I don't need to reinvent the (invite) wheel! LOL
 
LOVE your specials that you're offering.  Even better than what I came up with originally.
 
Thanks for sharing it w/us!

Okay, last night I sent out an email of the tax free open house, and today I'm mailing out the invite for those whom I dont have email's for.

The subject on the email was "Save your pennies" and this morning I already have 1 order!

I also did the incentive of bring an adult friend & an order get free Shipping and free tax!

Thursday April 10th from 9 am to 10 pm...
