I would sell your items at the events you have planned , put a label next to each item saying " last one available" as this seems to make a difference. The problem is with ebay is that you have to pack it all up etc and as you know PL forbid it , however this is only for items in the current catalogue. If you have discontinued items from your kit ( like summer stuff) then you should be alright to list that . Lots of consultants sell retired items on ebay , tho i haven't done this myself . Good luck with whatever you decide to do

But if I'm no longer a consultant, it doesn't matter, does it? There's plenty of current stuff on ebay, whether sold by consultants or other people.

Can someone clarify the sweets and treats does contain the 12 tealights? It says wax not included on the sheet?

Yeah got 1 party booked:jas she feel in love the the global fusion hurricane vase, so i informed her that if she has a party in Nov and get a party of £200 sales she will get £50 commission and would only need to pay a little extra, which i think helped her make her mind up lol.

Im so looking forward to doing more.:j

Amanda,

Just wanted to say with some hostess coaching - you can maybe get her to collect outside orders from people not attending so that she has nothing extra to pay

Best of luck

It does contain wax. There is a correction on the cbc.

I can't "officially" advocate selling your kit on ebay , but as you are finishing anyway I really can't see what they can do about . However suppose you sell your kit on ebay and raise some cash , the only way you could pay off your kit is by ordering more products yourself to take you up to £300 of sales ( do you want to have to do this?) . The easiest way to pay for your kit is to get some outside orders , then the kit is paid for and you can then do whatever you like with it . Many of the items would make lovely christmas presents ( why not save yourself a few quid that way?)

I Have an idea to get December bookings from 1st to 12th Dec based on the theme "12 days of christmas"

Draw up an A4 sheet divided into 12 boxes ( do this on the p.c as it looks more proffessional ), each box representing one of the 12 days of christmas i.e 1st Dec to 12th Dec . Take this sheet to all your November partys and show all your friends

In each box write "on the x day of christmas my consultant gave to me " x representing the date in Dec . Then put a photo of a freebie . It could be old guest specials , free wax , barrel jar ..whatever you want to give away to get a booking . At the bottom of the sheet write that the gifts are dependant upon a £165 sales + 1 booking .

This is a great way to fill your diary on the run up to Christmas . My team are going to use it to get their diaries filled . It should really make a difference and get December off to a good start because it's a short month .

Would rather get some money back though! I'll see what happens at these couple of events I've got coming up.

Im doing something different for December but something along the same lines kind of.....

I am going to laminate a a big picture of a christmas tree, then going to use some velcro to stick baubles on it. The baubles will have dates on off the dates in December I am free for parties and want to do parties....then on the back will be a picture of what they can get / description.

Same kind of thing but slightly different

Thats a really good idea , let us know if it works with you getting bookings . We are really snowed under at the moment , but double booking , so both me and my wife will be going out doing partys, but any extra that we can't do we are passing onto our team.

Can someone help me with tips how to invite people to your first party (not family or friends)? Do you put an advertising in the newspaper or on the web?

Thanks
