Let's Make A Deal
[Best of Boards]  [BoB for Bunnies] [Tealited Tidbits]

 

Here are two ways to play Let's Make A Deal.

(This one is from the BoB Message Board 9/19/99)

You will need 6 envelopes (I prefer the 6X9). In these envelopes place a piece of folded paper. On the pieces of paper write $1 to $5 or you can use percents. HINT : make most of them $1 or $2. I had a couple of percents that were 15% and they were gotten, so I spent too much, but oh well, you live and you learn :). Then write Let's Make A Deal on the envelopes. At the party, mix the envelopes up, play this game at the end of the show. For however many people are at the show, divide by 2 and pass that amount of envelopes out--so if there are 6 people, you will pass out 3 envelopes. Now read the Rightmeyer and Leftmore game. (I tried the Right and Left game, however it didn't sound right reading it at the END of the show). When you are finished reading check to see who has the envelopes and the yell :

  • --DON'T LOOK!!!! Because I want to MAKE A DEAL with you! Since you didn't pick the envelope, maybe your luck is better than mine..so you can trade for another envelope!!! (after that...yell again)

  • --DON'T LOOK!!!! I'll make another deal with you..I will trade you the envelope for an item in my gift basket...that envelope could be only worth $1. (after that...yell again)

  • --DON'T LOOK!!! I have on more deal with you!!! I will DOUBLE what is inside the envelopes or give you TWO gifts from my basket IF you will book a show tonight and help (hostess name) out!! This was a big hit, people yelling trade trade, don't trade don't trade...and shows were booked to see what they doubled!!! I hope it works well for you!!!

Since I started selling candles over 3 years ago, I've run into a few good ideas that continually produce results. This idea actually started with me (!!!), and produces lots of bookings for my calendar.

You will need:

colored card stock, good and stiff
permanent markers
a catalog to cut up
glue, scissors
calculator

Pick the high ticket items most people would book for. Cut out with description and price attached, glue to colored side of a card, keeping it to one side so you can also write in a new price really BIG!!!

Take the price, divide by 1/2, (your cost) and then subtract $5 to $8.
Here are some examples:

garden lantern....$78 -:- 2= $39......-$7= $31.95
fire house...........$32-:- 2= $16......-$5= $10.95
                                        - $7= $9 even
lighthouse..........$40 -:-2= $20..... -$8= $11.95
ship' bell.............$67-:-2= $34..... -$4= $30

and so on....Now take your new price, and write it nice and BIG next to the picture.

When presenting the hostess program during the demo, I point out the current specials, then coming for next month is.... and then

"Now I know that sometimes the specials that [company] sets for the month may not always be suited for your exact taste. In order to be sure that you get everything you want the night you have your party, I'm going to let you pick one special just for you. I call these my "Let's make a deal" cards, and you can go thru these. I'll pass them around in a minute, pick one of these specials for yourself. ""Now I know that sometimes the specials that

They get very interested in those little cards!!!!

One of my consultants made her cards and put play money in back of the picture on the card....the amount you would save by getting it at the LMD price.

For example:

Seville.......$120 -:-2= $60.......-$8 = $52
put $68 in the fake money on  card, then the picture on top

I honor these all year long, and it keeps my hostesses very happy.

Good luck!!!!!
