    Has your consultant given you the Candle Pool? The idea is that people pay £2 a square, on the night one of those is picked out of a hat and the person who picked it wins up to £100 of vouchers for the catalogue (I think), which counts as sales.

    Alternatively, have you had any orders from people who can't go?

    I've got the candle pool but not sure how many people will give to it. I also have a couple of people who can't come giving me orders but £165 just seems way off! Don't know if I should just cancel now. I have about 5 people coming but only 3 or 4 of them are likely to order anything!
    Never give up the dream! :beer:

    Please don't cancel - you don't know how much the 3 or 4 will order - I have had huge parties from small numbers of peeople.

    Use the candle pool - try giving it to someone who works in an office or factory who can sell it for you - people love these things as only cost £2 and they could win £100 to spend in the catalogue and this counts towards your sales on the night.

    Why not contact the girls who can make it and ask them to bring along a guest as well!

    Good luck and please don't worry it is supposed to be fun!:beer:
    I get paid to party!:rotfl:

    Oh question about the candle pool - what if the person isn't at the party on the night? Do they still get the £100 in vouchers to spend later?

    Oh and is it worth doing even if you don't get 50 people to sign up?

    If the person is not there they will get a gift voucher for the amount in the kitty.

    Doesn't matter how much you get it all counts towards your sales - I have been at parties where only 10 were sold this is till £20 towards sales.

    Girls,
    I hope everyone is well. I'm mid house move so a bit manic. Broadband ceases in old house tomorrow and I don't know when new one will be connected so good luck for all your future parties!!!

    You have until the 7th May to process April but you need to make sure the party has an April date when posting online!

    Specials will go online tomorrow afternoon and reflections will come early next week (you are like me too impatient for reflections to come out - sad lol):rotfl:
