You Go Girls!!!

I want to recognize Darcy P., Laurel O. and Heather C. for posting some big parties last week! Way to go girls! We are definitely seeing a big swing in activity lately and it's all due to your hard work throughout the year! Great job!

Just say No to Discover:
Remember - We do not take Discover Cards. Accepted forms of payment are Visa, MC, American Express and checks. For some reason the website has accepted several Discover cards lately. This has caused some confusion as the website does appear to accept the card as payment, however the card payment is not processed. We are looking into the issue and I will follow up with each of you individually if one of your customers was effected by this issue.

Lead Referrals:
The website is generating lots of email requests from women interested in hosting parties and we are distributing these leads based on (1st) location and (2nd) round-robin. Even if you are not within the local area for a lead, please follow up to set up an e-Party. This could be some quick and easy money for you this holiday! I ask that you please respond at your earliest convenience to these leads!

November 20th:
Is the holiday order deadline. After this date, we cannot guarantee that any of our vendors will produce and ship orders in time for holiday delivery. Please refer to the website for individual product ordering deadlines. If you see a product that is listed with a deadline that is later than Nov 20th, then you can place that order with confidence that your customer will receive the product in time for holiday gift-giving.

Thanks again to everyone for your patience and hard work! You are doing a great job!
Cheers!
Heather

Update on Add-On Kits Availability

Okay, so lots of you are anxiously awaiting an update on the Holiday Add-On kit. Unfortunately one of the companies that we had identified as the primary vendor for our holiday line up fell through. They were not able to meet our requirements in terms of lead time and product image availability. For this reason, we are not ready with a holiday add-on brochure or kit. We are hugely disappointed by this, but ask you to understand that the decision was made due to our commitment to quality of service and it became clear in recent discussions that this potential partner was not equipped to work on our scale. As we are always seeking the most unique products, it is often the case the the vendors we discover just aren't ready on the supply side.

However, do not be discouraged!

Remember, Polka Dots Parties is brand new on the home party scene and you are likely showcasing your samples to fresh audience. Holiday gifts doesn't mean items have to don red and green stripes or be topped with holly berries. You've already got a great arsenal of holiday gifts in your Everyday Sample Kit! Position your samples as great holiday gifts for each person on their shopping list.

Badge Reels and Koozies make great Teacher’s Gifts!
PSA Stampers are fantastic for the in-laws!
Plates & Placemats for Nieces and Nephews!
Monogrammed Cosmetics Bags and Mousepads for Mom, Sisters and Girlfriends!

You are selling year-round gifts for the holidays. Work it, girls!

Remember - deadline for holiday orders is NOVEMBER 20th!
All orders after this date will not be guaranteed to be delivered before Christmas (even with upgraded shipping).

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to push through the holiday selling season!
