Wow this was hard to judge.
I did not realize how many entries we had submitted
until I tried to narrow it down! To be as fair as possible - I printed off
all the entries minus names, cut them apart and read through each
individual idea separately several times. I narrowed it down to 11 on
Sunday, then re-read them a couple more times this week - narrowing the 11
down to 5, then to the final 3 winning ideas.
ALL the ideas were awesome - and I urge you to try any
or all of them out over the next year (LOL it will take you that long to
work them all in to your shows!)
I'm going to find a better way to judge this next
contest in February.
3rd Prize:
CandleLady
(Killer Kollectables)
Checkbook Cover & Button
Booking Coupons
Renee S. Parry, FlameOn
Unit, DiNamite Region
Enclose three
booking coupons in each hostess packet. The coupon should state: "BOOKING COUPON" redeemable with
(Consultants name). Call me at xxx-xxxx prior to (hostess' name/show date) to book your own
shopping spree!
Book your show prior to (Hostess' name) show and you and the hostess
split a dozen votives of your choice once your show is held.
Restrictions: your show must be held within 60 days of (hostess'
name) show to qualify for this special offer.
Then when you hostess coach tell your hostess to hand these booking certificates out to three of his/her friends and that she could end
up not only getting another 1 1/2 dozen votives if all the show are
held within 60 days of her show, 1 within 30 days of her show. But she
could also get $75.00 in free or the three booking gift. Spice up as you wish but
try to keep it simple. This really entices hostess prior to the
show and thus making it less stressful the night of the show for trying to get a
booking so she gets her highest hostess credit. Good luck and feel free to
contact me if you need clarification.
2nd Prize
Cards By Shelby Notecards
People You Know!
Jenn
Wings of Fire,
Thunder Region
I started a new game
at my show and it only takes about 2 minutes to play. I have a piece of paper in each folder that contains 12 different
"people you know" categories (friends, relatives, church). I name off
one category at a time and give them approximately 10 seconds to write down as many
first names under that category that they can think of, and then I go name the
next category...and so on for all 12. At the end I ask them to
count up as the number of people on their list and I give a little gift to the
person with the most. Then I give a little gift to the person with the
fewest (usually around 15 names). I use that person as an example of how
successful any show can be, because in just two minutes that person (along with everyone
else) has already put together an invitation list. Hope this works
for you!!
1st Prize:
Candle Cameo Pin
Car Carpet
Roxanne Pilkenton@co.snohomish.wa.us
I have an awesome
display idea that can easily incorporate into a theme party. One day I caught my wonderfully bright two-year old son
Jack playing with his "car carpet". You know the one!
The one that has roads and buildings printed on it. Thinking that this carpet somewhat
resembled the board game "Life" I got a great idea!
I take all of the tea light houses that are
available and place them on the mat. Then I borrow a few of my son's match box cars and
put them on the mat to make it look more realistic. (Fire Engines next to the Fire
Station...etc) I bought a Life game at the local thrift store and
cut out the spinner in the middle. I then got a HUGE piece of poster
board and put the colored numbers on it with a brief explanation of what each
of them represented.
1=1/2 price item
2=Free Tax & Shipping
3=Pillar
ETC.
I go through my demonstration of our wonderful tea
light houses and what great gift ideas they make. I have a few "Games of Life" I have made up to play with
them. (If you want I can E-mail these to anyone who wants them!) Then I use the
spinner to get bookings. Anyone who agrees to book a party
gets to spin. When they successfully hold a show that is at
least $200 and has one booking they will get either the prize they
spun for or the tea light house of their choice!
I need each of the three winners to email their address to me at belindaj@bestofboards.com
so that I can get your prizes on their way to you!
Congratulations!
