Watkins offers: $150-$499 = 10% , $500 up = 30%, we also have hostess specials like our casifina stoneware, and currently Watkins is offering a great pizza stone that goes along with your Spring theme "pizza party"~

Watkins pays hostess rewards 100% and they also give the hostess an Easy entertainment cook book~

Hello:


Our company has a nice hostess plan. Book a show and receive a $15.00 booking credit the night of the show just to start with. Than the hostess receives between 10 and 20% of the retail sales based on show totals. The company pays for the hostess benefits. They can also earn 1/2 price items as well and free shipping and handling.

@rbonne offers hostesses $100 in products of their choice for $20 for every $250 in sales. I cover the $20 and give them a $100 gift certificate. It creates more excitement and gets bookings!


There are other huge discounts on certain products as well. I also give my hostess free shipping and present her witha full size product as a gift; the gift cost is out of pocket.

Plus booking credits.


The hostess plan is 100% paid for by the company.

BabyCrazy offers 10% in free items (hostess choice), plus other gifts/incentives based on the # of people at the parties (or orders taken) and the total party receipts.

The company pays for all of the above. I offer a small booking gift, and a personal hostess gift that I pay for myself.

Longaberger offers 1, 2, or 3 half price items depending on show totals.Hostess Bonus dollars from $25-$175 also dictated by show totals. These items are paid for by the company. Consultants pay a small fee for booking gifts and I usually get a thank-you gift for my hostesses.

Noah's Ark Workshop offers 1/2 price items and 10% of the show based on the size of the show.

Latasia Jewelry has an outstanding Hostess program all paid for by the company, 100%!!!!


Free jewelry based on sales of: $200-$349 = 20% of that FREE, $350-$499 = 30% of that FREE and $500 and up equals 40% FREE!!!


Booking Bonus-For every party booked and held within 30 days of your party, you choose any ring in either of our books for only $7.50! 5 parties booked and held within 30 days means you get 5 rings for only $7.50 each, wether they cost $20 or $150!!


Hostess Specials- Get your guest list back within 3 days of dating your party and receive $30 in credit for only $3 (to the Hostess, not the Designer) May Special-$450 in sales and 1 booking gets the Hostess another $100 in jewelry for only $20 (to the Hostess not the Designer)


We also have Hostess exclusives each month. We have 3 different beautiful bracelets to choose from all valued at $50. When you attend a party and date your own that night within 30 days you can get one of those bracelets for only $25. Again, no cost to the Designer.


My Hostesses are all getting over $300 in FREE jewelry and if they take the $100 for $20 they are getting over $400 in jewelry for just the $20 bonus charge and their taxes and shipping. People around here are freaking out about how much they are getting!!

Discovery Toys pays for 100% for the hostess program and 1/2 price items, plus any hostess specials that month.


With 1 booking, a 1/2 price item for every $200 in sales.


$100 = $10 FREE
$150 = $15 FREE
$200 = $30 FREE (I like this, it encourages the hostess to make it worth my while. I personally don't want to reward smaller parties if I am there to make money and support my family)


$250 - $40 Free
$300 = $50 FREE
$350 = $60 FREE
$400 = $70 FREE
and add $10 for every $50 in sales.


$550 party = $100 FREE, etc.

an example of tupperware this month if you reach $500 and two bookings you will get $275 worth of products for FREE!!and two half price items!the consultants pay for the thank you gifts and the company pays for the rest


over $200 10% and one half off


over $400 15% and two half off


over $1,000 20% and three half off


plus all the thank you gifts you get before that!!

What a great topic!!! Of course I am biased, but I think Pampered Chef has the best host benefits around!!





http://www.pamperedchef.biz/skins/sites/template17/images/en_US/matrix/show-awards2_no-math.gif

<DIV style="WIDTH: 250px" ="small-text">* Guest sales exclude shipping and handling charges and sales tax.
+ For every $100 in guest sales over $1,000, add another $25 in Free Product Value.
$ Gift of Free Product Value includes $15 Hospitality Bonus as a thank you for hosting a Cooking Show in your home and providing recipe ingredients. (Hospitality Bonus not applicable to Catalog Shows.)





Besides all of this, they also get free shipping on their order as well as 10% off for one full year after their show.


I see that lots of your benefits are based on bookings from a particular show. PC actually gives an 'additional gift' to any host who happens to have another show booked from theirs. The booking benefit is any show that is booked from yours, you get to take advantage of their host special as well as your own, up to 6 months later!!!!!


i.e. If you host in May, and your friend books for June, you get to take advantage of May's host special at your show and June's host special as a guest at your friend's show!!! Then another friend booked for October, well in October you get to take advantage of that host special too!!!!





Imagine what you could do with more than $200 in free product plus 4 half price items!!!If there is still anything in the catalog that you want, well you can take30% off any additional purchases!! Then take advantage of all the great host specials (usually 60% off a higher priced item) for up to 6 months just by inviting your friends over and letting someone else cook for you!!!!


Like I said, I am biased. But really, can any company beat that??????


Oh yeah, and I don't pay for any of this!!!! This is standard across the board with every consultant and every host company-wide!!! Most of the time I will offer something additional as a sales incentive to my hosts, but that's totally optional!!!!





Edited by: pamperedgirl

lia sophia offers a wonderful hostess program!!!
