A BAZILLION Reasons to Attend Regional Rally!!!

If you could see me now, you'd think I'd had way too much sugar today. Actually, I did have way too much sugar today, and am headed soon for a glass of strawberry milk... just don't tell my mom. Anyway, I'm SUPER EXCITED and totally hyper about the recent announcement of REGIONAL RALLY!!! It's COMING!

Last year I posted this blurb about regional rally. You should read it. It's short and sweet. Go ahead, I'll wait.

...

Ya done? I know. It says it all. Premier is AWESOME. It's a great way to support your family, and YOU GET OUT OF IT WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT. That means if you're not getting the results you want, quit making excuses and figure out HOW to get them! January is the PERFECT time for a Rally.  It's the new year, when we make all of our new resolutions, like losing this pregnancy weight... or getting my business jump started in this new town! And Rally is ALWAYS, 100% of the time, inspirational, educational, and a STINKIN' BLAST!

There ARE a bazillion reasons to go to rally. I'm not going to list them all for you, but you should know: You WILL LOVE IT. You WILL be inspired. You WILL get new ideas. And you WILL get to see the brand new spring & summer lines AND order them with an ADDITIONAL 30% off!!! In addition, for the second year in a row, Premier is hosting rally in WAY more locations so that it's feasible for everyone to attend. PLUS, Rally is even CHEAPER this year than it was last year! So. Mark your calendar. November 1: Register for Regional Rally. 

Using Labels Like Woah

If you haven't discovered Avery Labels yet, you're missing out. I use labels A. Lot. I have always gotten mine from Walmart but last time I went, they only had the "eco friendly" which are more expensive. I mean, I'm not saying I'd rather save money than save the environment... but... I like saving money. Anyway, here's what to look for:

And here are different ways I use them:

Labeling EVERYTHING with my contact information. I put these labels on the back of catalogs, customer receipts, hostess packets, style guides, mini catalogs, home show folders, sponsoring packets, opportunity brochures, and anything else that customers or hostesses may come in contact with! I just create a file and print as needed. Usually I change the font or colors because it's more fun that way. :)

Label Gifts. Anything that will go home with the girls also gets a label with my information on it. Here are some items that I've used in booking activities or gift with purchase.

Jewelry Cleaner

Chapstick (Was in a Summer Makeup Bag)

Keeping My Catalogs.

Often, people want to take my home show catalogs home with them. I've found that often when ladies feel guilty about not ordering, they'll say they want to take a catalog and order later. They NEVER DO. I've started putting these labels on and then covering the catalog with the clear catalog protector cover from PDI. Now that we have the online catalog, I can feel even less guilty for trying to avoid sending catalogs home with every guest!

Some hostesses are really great about returning every little item you give them, down to the tax cheat sheet. Others ask for nine different catalogs to give out and then never return them! I've started putting these label, along with a clear catalog protector, on my catalogs that I give to my hostesses for pre-orders. Then when I'm hostess coaching I point out that we recycle the catalogs, so please return them!

Labeling Jewelry

At Christmas time I have a "Treasure Box." After spending $75, ladies get to shop in the treasure box for discontinued, SALE jewelry. I calculate the total in advance and label the items like this:

Mass Mailings

When I send invitations to my renewal show, Christmas cards, or when I am using the post cards that Premier provides advertising promotions, I use my Hood & House program to print labels. It's easy peasy! If you don't know how to do this, here are the steps:

Step 1: Choose REPORTS on the left side of your screen.

Step 2: Under "Lists & Labels" choose Customers

Step 3: Select the names of the girls you would like labels for

Step 4: At the top of your screen, select LABELS

Step 5: Select your Parameters and hit "OK"
This is where you choose your font and size for each line

From here, you'll get your page of labels and be ready to print!

Hostess Coaching Cards

When I get a new hostess, I print five labels for her. I pull out my sheet of hostess labels once per week for mailings. Each hostess will eventually get 4 hostess coaching cards and then one thank you card. Printing these labels in advance saves me time and helps me track the mailings I've done for each girl. 

Compliment Card

Print these labels and put them on the back of your business card. Then when someone compliments your jewelry in public, you can give them your card and "coupon" as a thank you!

Sometimes I also use shipping labels (6 per sheet). They look like this:

I only have a couple of uses for these so far. 

Dropping Catalogs:

This is my favorite use of the labels. At Rally every year, you are allowed to pick up as many of the previous year's catalogs as you can load home with you! I like to take these home and then print these labels. The goal is to drop the catalogs off at local places of business with waiting rooms. Some ideas are: doctor's offices, dentists, salons, oil change places, the veterinarian, DMV, etc. Sometimes boutiques will take them too.

"Triple Treat" Booking Activity:

I saw this at a Rally. For this booking activity, you load a tray with hostess cakes tied with a bow. The girls get to pick a hostess cake and on the bottom it has one of these stickers. Each sticker has a different item they've won (charm bracelet, free shipping, extra tickets or Diva Dollars, etc)

And that's all I've got for now! I know there are other ways I've used them. I would love to hear feedback or your creative ideas for using labels!

Love you!

Denise

It's BOOTH Season! #FallYa'll

Girls! It's OFFICIALLY my favorite time of year, HANDS. DOWN. I love love looooove fall for a bazillion reasons: 1. It's pretty. 2. The holidays are coming. 3. It's no longer kill-me-now-before-I-melt HOT. (Which was even worse being overly prego this year). 4. Cider, Chai, & Hot Chocolate. And pumpkin or apple flavored everything. 5. It's pretty. 6. The holidays are coming. and 7. It's pretty!

There are (whatever a bazillion minus seven is) more reasons I love fall, but we're going to take time today to focus on items number 2 and 6. 

Girls, holiday season is PRIME BOOTH SEASON. Churches, schools, banks, community centers, nursing homes, hospitals, and on and on! Keep an eye out in the paper, call your chamber of commerce, and definitely ask friends and neighbors for ideas of great places to set up your booth!

Here's what you need to know:

The Goals:

Goal #1: Sell Jewelry OFF OF YOUR TABLE

In my experience, and from my jewelry lady friends, I've learned that you are going to be more successful if you sell jewelry off of your table rather than try and collect orders. People approaching you at booths are A) strangers and not going to be super thrilled with giving their money away and expecting a shipment, and B) probably at an event where they were expecting immediate gratification. They want it NOW! :) 

When choosing what jewelry you're willing to sell, you'll want to consider a couple of items:

1. When is your next home show? If you have one coming up, you'll need to have your samples for showing. If you have over a week, you can place an order immediately to replace anything you've sold. 

2.  Which items are retired? These should be the first to go! Don't let go of your favorites if you think you'll want them later. Replacing these pieces is not always easy! Most of my samples that are retired I am happy to part with. I would rather have the cash to buy jewelry from the current line! 

3. What condition are the pieces in? If your jewelry has been worn a lot, or if you have something that is broken, be extra careful not to include these on your table. You don't want to advertise your "worn out" jewelry. Take the time to clean those pieces that can be cleaned to look like new. Don't put out anything that is broken or tarnished.

Goal #2: Collect Names!

Booths are a GREAT PLACE to collect names. You may want to consider having a drawing in order to entice the ladies to leave their information with you. Here is a sample of an EASY drawing slip. Just print these on 1/6 or 1/4 of a sheet of paper and have a jar to drop them in!

Goal #3: Book Shows!

Definitely have your calendar on hand. You may even want to offer a special incentive for booking while they're standing there with you. Maybe they'll get an additional $25 in free jewelry to spend at their show, or maybe you'll bring them a special gift (a charm bracelet is cheap, and attractive!).

How To:

Step 1: Find the events. Search the internet, ask around, etc. Then sign up. I would NOT recommend signing up for any booth where you have to pay a large fee. I've seen bridal shows that charge $700 for a vendor to sign up!! This is fine for a photographer who makes $3000 off of ONE bride, but it's just not a good idea for jewelry ladies! I like Free - $25. 

Step 2: Prepare your booth. You'll want an attractive booth, with plenty to look at, but not too overwhelming! You could set it up like your display at home shows, or add a little flare. You might consider adding a sassy scarf to Mandy or a theme with some SIMPLE decorations (fall, Christmas, animal print, etc). You'll also want to prepare some signs to get attention. Print them on the computer or decorate by and and put them into a picture frame for a professional look. Here is a part of my booth from this past week. We had a fall theme, of course! 

For my 8x10 Fall into Fabulous Flyer, click here.
For my 4x4 Prices sign, click here.

This time in my frame I had a sign for the specific catalog promotion I am doing. In the past I have done a sign that says something along the lines of, "Ask me how to get this jewelry for FREE!"

I'm so sad I forgot to take pictures before we got started. The bank I was at (This was Customer Appreciate Day) supplied 8 foot tables for us, and then I had two 4ft tables that have adjustable legs, so I was able to have a shorter table in front and create a stair step look. It was the MOST SPACE I've ever had and it was GREAT! But by the time I remembered to take pictures, the ladies had destroyed the pretty little set up. :) 

Anywho, here is a list of other items you won't want to forget.

• Tables
• Table Cloths
• Decorations
• Jewelry, cleaned and tagged (unless you are using flat prices, like above)
• Frames/Signs
• Business Cards
• Sponsoring Packets
• Lights
• Bags for putting purchases in (include business card in bags)
• Jar (for drawing)
• Pens
• Slips (for filling out; drawing)
• Calendar
• Mirrors
• Neck Boards, Bracelet Bars, etc.
• Mandy
• Money Bag
• Propay Jak
• iPad or whatever you use to run your debit cards
• Catalogs, Labeled & Covered
  • 
    

Step 3: Go to your event! Have a great time. Be personable, professional, and outgoing. Just like at your shows, be friendly, complimentary, and excited about what you do! Tell them about your specials, or a little about Premier, or about how they can get free jewelry. Pass out business cards and take lots of names! Sell your jewelry and make sure EVERYONE knows about the Golden Guarantee and how to get in touch with you. While exchanges are no fun, they are a great way to serve our customers and make connections!

Step 4: FOLLOW UP! If you're doing a drawing, draw a winner and call her with the good news. Be prepared with verbiage to ask for a show or permission to contact her with the next hostess promotion. Then call EVERY person whose name you got! Let them know that while they did not win the drawing, there are LOTS of ways to earn plenty of FREE jewelry with Premier!

I would LOVE to see what other ideas you have for booths! Please feel free to comment below or message me!

The Personal Websites Have Arrived!

I know, it's been entirely too long since I've been in touch with my girls. I apologize PROFUSELY! I have definitely been out of the Premier Loop and have been preoccupied with a bazillion other things. But then... yesterday... Premier released the NEWEST jewelry lady tool: our OWN PERSONAL WEBPAGES!! WOO HOO! I am so excited. I got mine set up this morning and voila! I'm basically a pro and TOTALLY re-energized to get going in my Premier business!

To visit my webpage, click here.

I wanted to encourage you girls to take advantage of this tool right away by giving you some tips and ideas, and also sharing what I'm doing to launch my new website project!

Setting Up Your Webpage
Setting up the webpage is quick and easy! Premier has a tutorial online. If you skip this part, you'll probably be able to figure out the setup with no problem. The setup page walks you through, step by step. I recommend making this page personal by adding notes from you instead of keeping the messages Premier has set up for you. I visited some other Jewelry Lady sites to get ideas of how they were using their sites and the verbiage they used. This is also a great place to highlight specials that Premier is offering, or ideas and special events of your own! I would love to hear some ideas from you of other ways you can use the "noteworthy" box. Maybe quotes, fashion tips, seasonal guides, links, etc?

Overcoming the Cost
The monthly fee for having your own website is almost $10. If you pay for an annual subscription, then it's $100, which saves you two month's subscription cost! This may seem steep, in addition to the $350 we already pay annually, but you think about this! That $350 is already paying for the Premier Website itself, plus all of the awesome support we get from the home office. It also pays to have our Sales Tax filed FOR us at the end of tax year. It pays for free shipping on all of our sample jewelry, catalogs (which are EXPENSIVE to ship!) and other supplies. This cost also keeps people from just "buying in" to Premier so that they can take advantage of the discount and share it with their friends.

Also, think of it this way: if you sell just ONE pair of $20 earrings per month from the convenience of an online catalog, it's already paid for itself! Today, I sent a text to ALL of my past contacts with the exciting news and I ALREADY had a lady say she'd lost one of her favorite earrings and wants to order a pair to replace them! There's this month's fee!

Paying the annual fee is smart, but if you're not sure, you may want to consider paying for September through November monthly to decide how worth it the cost is. The special introductory rate ends in December, so make sure to subscribe for your annual membership before then!

Launching into Action
Consider using the website for a special promo! You may want to consider different booking bonuses, challenges, contests, or specials. For my first attempt at making the most of this site, I'm hosting a FALL INTO FABULOUS event. This is similar to the Spring Fling I posted about a couple springs ago. I used the new tools on the website to send out an invitation, and then plan on sending more information to those who RSVP yes. [When I have my documents complete, I'll attach them here].

To view the invitation, click here.

Spreading the Word
Now that you have a site, make sure you spread the word like crazy! Social media is great for this. Here are some ways that I have/plan on spreading the word:

* Social Media: Post it to your page, send personal messages to friends with a note, and add it to the "website" box in your profile. You may also consider adding a hyperlink when you have awesome jewelry on in Facebook pictures, or when you receive compliments online. I also Tweeted the link and posted a picture of my FALL INTO FABULOUS invite to Instagram.

* Text: I sent out a text to every girl in my phone book who has hosted, attended, or shown interest in a Premier Show. Or any girl that I THOUGHT might! Texts are great for sending info and links because they are in print for the girls to access later, but texts are best followed up with a phone call.

* Phone calls: Now is a great time for courtesy calls! Remember the intention of Courtesy Calls is to check up on girls. You are NOT necessarily trying to sell anything or book shows. Just let them know you're thinking about them, ask how their jewelry is doing, and then let them know you have a new website they can use if they'd like to check out the new catalog.

* Special Mailings: I ALWAYS send a Christmas card to my past hostesses, and sometimes to favorite customers. My first two years, I used Vista Print to order cheap post cards. This past year, I sent electronic cards. I prefer the hard copies, but of course, email is significantly cheaper. On the cards, I say Merry Christmas and offer some special coupon as a thank you. The problem with the coupon is most girls don't have a catalog on hand. This year, I can include my website and online catalog and hope for more sales! :) Here are my 2010 and 2011 Christmas Cards.

* Business Cards: The business cards I have have the old hostess plan on them, so I need new cards anyway. When you order your business cards, make sure they have your website on them! You can order business cards for FREE from Vista Print or just $13 on Premier Incentives.

* Show Supply Labels: On all of your catalogs, show folders, order forms, etc, you should have labels with your name on them. Consider adding your website to these too! Labels are a cheap and EASY way of putting your information out there!

* Email Signature: Most emails allow personal signatures to be added to every email automatically. Mine says, "Your Favorite Jewelry Lady" and then has my information. This is a great place to add your website. Even people you are emailing who know nothing about Premier will now have a little more information about what you do. Maybe you'll peak someone's interest!

Remember to Keep It Personal
With today's technology, it is very easy and tempting to become an online business. REMEMBER that is NOT what Premier is about. We are about KEEPING IT PERSONAL. That means our goal is to be building relationships with ladies and taking the opportunity to minister to and encourage women. This why there is no online ordering. Premier wants to make sure that we are still in contact with our hostesses and customers. So while all of these tools are fabulous, please remember, to KEEP IT PERSONAL.

Love you girls!
Denise

Change it Up Challenge

Ok. So I mentioned to you guys after Rally that I want to challenge myself (and you were invited!) to wear DIFFERENT jewelry every day and post it to the social media! Well, I've been posting when I can... There have been a couple days where I haven't even left the house... LoL. BUT! So far, I LOVE IT! Here's why:

1. It's fun. It's getting me more excited about my jewelry because I have an excuse to talk about it and show it off even more than I usually do.
2. It's holding me accountable! Instead of wearing the same jewelry every day, I've TRIED to wear different pieces and switch it up!
3. It's FREE, no-pressure advertisement! I get to show off my cutie jewelry everyday, and all of my Facebook/Instagram/Twitter friends can see and enjoy. So far I've had several "Likes," some additional compliments at school, AND one of Brian's aunts plans to buy the bracelet I was wearing today! She wants the bracelet - which gave me an excuse to send her the whole catalog, the Style Guide, an Opportunity Brochure, and a personalize note - also catching up on family stuff.

I highly recommend giving it a try. You've got nothing to lose! :)

I've been using the app PhotoGrid to put all of my photos for one day together, then using Instagram to post to Facebook and Twitter.

Day 1: I pulled out this outfit the night before (and was really proud of myself for being so prepared) but of course didn't get up early enough to actually primp (hence the up-do). BUT I still felt cute. :)

Day 2: My second attempt at "Arm Party." I'm pretty sure this was in the video too. 

Day 2: As soon as I was done getting ready, my new jewelry arrived and I had to change it out. But I already have a girl who is planning to get this necklace at her upcoming show. #freeadvertisement

Day 3: I had to wear my coach polo to school, so I didn't wear a necklace, although I know I could have, however: 1. I was running late, and 2. I feel a little "overdone" when I'm trying to bling up at a basketball game. I will have you know, however, that I had a girl add that ring to her wish list this day.

Day 4: Today I sold this bracelet! Gotta love Facebook! :)

Picking out more jewelry?

I have a certificate left from the May promotion that I still need to use. While I was shopping, I thought I'd share this little tidbit with you. In case you haven't ever noticed, there is usually a little link at the bottom of the Premier jeweler page that says "Top Sellers for Last Month." It looks like this:

If you click there, it lists the top 10 rings and the top 25 "other." When I'm wanting more jewelry, but not sure what to order, I like to check this list. It helps get an objective opinion on what the ladies like! :) Just an idea!

Golden Guarantee Reminder

At Rally, a trainer suggested calling all of your customers before their golden guarantee time is up. I think that's just wonderful, but honestly cannot squeeze in that many phone calls. So I am using punch bowl. The awesome thing about punchbowl is you can just click the names in your hood & house, save an evite file, and upload it directly to punchbowl. Then you can save the email list in your punchbowl. I save mine by hostess name. You can also schedule your cards! So when I have time, I sit down and make out cards, then schedule them to send when I want to. Here is the card I'm using for Golden Guarantee reminders. Obviously this only works if you have their email addresses, so make sure they are filling out those surveys!

Hostess Appreciation Dinner

Here's an idea you might like in the future. Next month, our local training is pulling together to organize a hostess appreciation dinner. I've heard these trained on before, and have always liked the idea, but have never done one. Some jewelers do them by themselves - host a brunch or dinner at their house or a local restaurant. 

Our local Mexican restaurant (which happens to be owned by Diana's family!) is allowing us to have a banquet for only $8 per person. Our entire training is hosting together, so it will be a large group/party atmosphere. We are presenting each guest with the new catalog and a gift: a jewelry cleaning kit. Plus they will also get to order an item for 50% off from the new catalog. 

Here are my invites. I found the paper & matching envelopes at Hobby Lobby, but I've also seen similar stuff at the Dollar Tree or Walmart. 

I'm working on a assembling my gift cutely. When I'm done, I'll be sure to post a pic. If you are looking for cute gift ideas, the cleaning kit includes a cleaning cloth, toothbrush, piece of chalk, and a recipe for cleaning their jewelry.

Returning Catalogs

In my last blog, I mentioned in my budget that I wanted to try and get my catalogs back! I'm going to try adding these labels to the catalogs, and mentioning to my hostess to return the catalogs once they finish. I think I'll send an email reminder about the pre-orders, and in the bottom put a little note that says the same things as these labels. Click here to access the labels.

Where is YOUR profit going??

So, when I get new jewelers, I have always tried to emphasize the importance of paying of your initial investment before you start buying or paying for anything else.  Unfortunately, I learned the hard way how easy it is to fall into the trap of zebra print goodness. When I first signed, I went “gotta have” crazy insisting that I “neeeeded” this or that to make my business work. Well, here are the cold hard facts: you DON’T need cutie accents on your table, or hostess gifts from Premier Incentives, or even lots of jewelry! You came into Premier to meet a financial NEED in your home. So do you see that happening? Or do you work for a few months and wonder where in the WORLD all your money went? Well, I do. On a regular basis I think, “I did so well last month! WHERE is that money?” I’ll tell ya where it is: as soon as I get money, I’m excited to buy cuter gifts for my hostesses, or that one piece of jewelry I’ve been wanting for months. I convince myself that so many of my customers have wanted to see “this” necklace, or the girls wouldn’t be able to resist booking shows if I had “that” gift. Well. No more.

Two things have helped me to come to this mini-lesson today. One is Hood & House. Last year I bought the Hood & House program, and I have worked really hard since then to keep up with entering my data. Of course I enter all of my home shows there. But I also enter all of my commission checks, mileage, and receipts/expenses. This has helped me truly see where all my money goes! I am embarrassed to say how much I spend on returns/exchanges. Simply because I don’t always enforce asking my customers for that $5+tax…

The other thing that has helped me is the business planning Brian and I are currently doing. We have been listening to a book on tape called The Millionaire Next Door. The book is about successful millionaires and how they came to be there. LoL... that sounds funny. We are not on a quest to be millionaires. BUT we do want to know how the minds of successful business people work, and what we can do to help our new business be successful. One of the things that the author reports is that financially independent (wealthy/affluent) people know where EVERY PENNY goes. They don’t just spend haphazardly! They have detailed budgets that plan where their money will go, and holds them accountable for getting it there.

So! Ladies, I present to you: my 2012-2013 fiscal year budget!

Today I sat down and set some goals, and looked at the numbers. I set a goal of 36 home shows this year, averaging $500 each. Then, I listed all of the expenses I could think of anticipating for the next year. I set a goal to only spend 30% of my home show income on business expenses. The other 70% (plus all of my commission) will go toward our current goal of paying off our last student loan. It was harder than I thought to get my expenses down to 30%. There are so many things I love to spend money on: Jewelry, Rally, mailings! But no more! According to my initial budget, I would spend 39% of my income on business expenses. So I needed to cut 9% to reach my goal. Instead of rewriting, you can see I simply crossed things out, and made notes about the adjustment. I thought of ways to become more cost effective in my communication with hostesses, in my quest for more jewelry, and in other every day responsibilities.

Now it’s your turn! Of course yours doesn’t have to be as detailed as mine, but I encourage you to look at your spending. Before you buy some stamps and think, “oh, it’s only $6 for post card stamps,” take a look at the big picture! What percent of your income is that $6? And is there a better way to relay the same message?

Thank You Cards without the Postage!!

Hey girls,

So forever I've been wishing I were better at thank you cards for my guests. I almost ALWAYS send one to my hostess. You should ALWAYS ALWAYS do that. But sending to all of the guests gets daunting! Well welcome to 2012: the age of technology! I know email is not nearly as personal, but this is just too good to pass up. This morning I got the email with the tracking number from my latest show, and I decided on THIS fun project!

Punchbowl is an online ecard website. They have LOTS of really cute options and tons of ways to personalize it. Some of it is paid members only, but there are PLENTY of free options (I use free only). SO today I sent an ecard to my hostess thanking her, and then one to each of her guests! Some of them got a general note (I resend the same card, just changing the name), and others got something specific. One of the girls plans to host a show in September, so I mentioned something about that in hers. One of the girls wants to come to another show, so I mentioned a friend's upcoming show.

For the guests, I also included how much free jewelry the hostess got. :) You can send these in bulk, but I chose to send one at a time for the sake of being able to personalize them a little bit more.

Here's what the steps look like:

First you choose your design. There are a TON of cute options!

Then you add to the inside. You can write on both sides
and can change the font, size, color, alignment, etc.

Then you can change the inside of your envelope, the rubber stamper
and even the postage!!!

Here's an example to a guest (I didn't realize until AFTER I sent this first one that there are typos! No worries, I changed it):

The front

The inside. I love the font options!

The envelope. I changed the inside to match the stamp :)

This is SO much faster and CHEAPER than sending cards in the mail, yet it gives your customers another way to remember you. This would be a great option for 60-day check ups, if you're having a hard time with that, or even reminder emails for different aspects of hostess coaching!

Entering A Show

For my new jewelers, here are the steps for entering a show. Most of the steps are self explanatory, but read the notes for special reminders:

On the Premier Designs homepage, go to ordering/products, then online order, then the appropriate type of show:

Home Show = home or training (minimum $100)
Individual Order = 1 customer wants to order something not affiliated with a show. There is no free jewelry or bonuses involved, and you must spend a minimum $20CV or be charged an additional $5 in shipping.
Sample Order: Your personal jewelry orders
Catalog Purchase Plan: A catalog show (20% free to the hostess plus 1 item half price)

Here are special notes for each step of the home show.

Step 1:

- This is where you'll choose home, training, or renewal show.
- Number of customers/retail items is ONLY for the sake of making sure they give you enough blanks for your orders. Don't stress about counting.
- Shipping Method should always be $0. 2-day shipping does NOT speed up the processing speed at the home office. So this will NOT mean your jewelry is shipped in 2 days!
- Here you will enter your HOSTESS' address so that the order ships directly to her.

Step 2:

- Enter each customer only once. And only enter customers who actually ordered. If you don't have their number, you can enter yours. This is not saved for a database or anything

Step 3:

- Enter a separate line for each item the hostess ordered.
- If the item is a ring, you must enter the item number with the size added as 2 digits on the end. For example, ring 3333, size 6 would be 333306.
- If Premier has a promotion (for example, spend $75, get $40 free) DO NOT enter the free item on this page! There will be a screen for this later.

Step 4:

- If you gave a discount of any sort, this page is where you enter the amount that you charged. You cannot discount below 50%. 

Step 5: 

- This page is for review, check everything thoroughly!!!! You do NOT want your hostess and customers to be excited to receive their jewelry and then realize their item is missing or wrong!

Step 6: 

- Enter the hostess half price selections.

Step 7: 

- Enter the hostess free here. If the $ amount in red writing doesn't match yours, go back and check your work. 

Step 8:

- Check your work again!

- Check the box in the tan box

- Choose the tax rate. MAKE SURE YOU ARE CONSISTENT.

- After you choose your tax rate, there will be a small box to check if you would like to use ProPay funds. Check this and then enter the amount you would like to use from propay to apply to the order. You DO NOT have to transfer funds from ProPay into your checking account. This saves you money. Make sure you hit the "Apply Propay" button! 

- Double check the hostess address. If you enter the wrong address, Premier insurance does not cover the replacement of the jewelry.

- Read and check the box in the red writing.

Then "Complete this Order" and you're done! :)
