Scenario 3: $300 Party, 8 Orders at $37.50 each Aha! This scenario looks better. Even if you have to ship everything, youre still holding on o much of your profit. Combing orders makes a big difference in your bottom line. Depending on what you sold, you may be able to order 6packs for some products which will also increase your profit margin.

Scenario 3: Three $300 Parties - 24 Orders at $37.50 each Heres where you want to be! When you combine parties, your profit margin soars. In fact, in the scenario below, even if you have to ship EVERYTHING to every customer, $6 shipping fees collected will cover both the cost of getting the product to you AND the cost of getting it to your customer, with some $ to spare. Not to mention that you will likely be able to order 6 packs, and perhaps even take advantage of a daily sale offered by the corporate office to increase your profit further. When combing parties, just remember the customers must receive their backordered items within the 2 weeks (10 business days) time frame from the date the party was held.

A few more notes We use a very modest $300 party average and $37.50 average customer order in the party scenarios above. While these numbers may be typical for a brand new consultant, as you become more skilled, your average customer order and average party sales should increase too. We also assume a total of 8 guests above. Hostess coach for more! A target of 10-15 guests at each party is what you want to shoot for. This will also increase your numbers. The cost of shipping products to your customers will vary from about $1.50 to $4.80 depending on the weight of the package. Always send orders that weigh under 13oz First Class Mail (not Priority) to reduce your shipping costs.
