Before I signed up, I asked people if they wanted to be in a hostess club. I was able to get 2 clubs going, each with 6 members. They meet every other month and spend $40 at each party, giving each hostess a qualifying party. I like the 6-40 clubs, because you can actually get something decent for $40 and not have to go over your budget (although, most do). With the two clubs, my quotas are guaranteed for a year. (The $40 is in CDN funds).
If you are in the states, take the minimum qualifying party and divide it by however many people you want in your club. That is what they need to spend at each party. You can send out an email to your friends (potential customers) and see what they would be interested in. You can offer different kinds of clubs:
Stampers' Ten - 10 people in the club each take turn hosting a party, with each member placing a minimum $25 (in Canada) purchase at each party.
6-40 - Like I explained above
Marker Club - 4 people in the club each put in $50 for 4 months. Each member receives a colour family of markers each month and on their host turn, they get the case to hold all the markers.
You can also host make & takes at your house each month - invite your friends, have them pay $5 to cover costs of supplies and do a project. You can draw a mystery hostess out of a hat so that your guests take turns getting the hostess benefits. Lots of people love going to the parties but don't want to host them. So, you might want to host for them.
There's plenty of other ideas, but these are a few. I'd send an email to your friends and see if they would be interested in committing to any clubs. Then you will have a good idea of your potential business.
If you are in Canada, I'll gladly take you on my team! You can meet some excellent demo's here on SCS - take some time to "interview" them. Send them pm's with questions to find out if they will offer you the support you are looking for from an upline. If you want to sell Stampin' Up as a successful business, you will need an upline who will support you. Take time to find the right one. My upline is the BESTEST!
Hope this helps.
