This option lets you combine web
order amounts with home show orders on OrderPro so
the host can get all the hosting benefits based on
the combined orders.
So, for every home show, make it
into a combo e-Show to increase the sales & free
books they earn. You will get a special link to
give the host to give all their online contacts.
All orders that go through that link will count
toward the show total!
|
What Hostess
Benefits does the Hostess Get? |
(Note: "Hostess" = anyone who invites others
to the show or collects combined orders and
receives the merchandise allowance. This
"hostess" can be male, female, organization,
club, charity or other group who will benefit
from the show sales. For simplicity here, this
will be referred to as the "hostess".)
Regular e-shows give Merchandise Allowance and
sometimes a monthly special. With a Combo
e-Show, you can also use the $25 Hostess books, the
$20 Booking Credit for the previous hostess, Bonus
Gift and the half price books, as well as being able
to order supplies & promotional items to be shipped
with the order.
NEW CONSULTANTS can get/give
their DOUBLE MERCHANDISE ALLOWANCE during their 12
week incentive period for combo e-Shows when the
combined web & live orders are $250+!
YES! You can be considered the
hostess. You can also set up Benefits for groups
& organizations you would like to donate the free
books to.
|
How Do I Start up
a Combo e-Show? |
You or the hostess can start the e-Show, but YOU make
it into a combo e-Show from your Web Sales Admin
page.
Start an e-Show on your website
by clicking "this page" under "Host an e-Show" (or
you can do it from the Web Sales Admin page
directly). Use the name you'd like to appear on the
site as the "Hostess" so her guests will know it is
her show. Set the closing date & click Update.
You'll get a special link to give the hostess. She
can give that link to all her online contacts.
It doesn't matter if you use your
or the hostess' mailing address since the free books
will be shipped to the address used in OrderPro.
(For regular e-Shows, use the address you want to
have the free books shipped to.)
If you put her email address,
she'll get an email notification when someone places
an order through her combo e-Show. You also get an
email notice anytime someone places an order
through your website.
When you get the confirmation
page with the show number & information, you may
want to copy & paste that entire page into an email
and send it to yourself and the hostess. It tells
how to check the status of the e-show. Also, have
the sample invitation sent to your email address and
that of your hostess. Encourage her to send it to
EVERYONE she can think of online that might be
interested in the books.
Go to the consultant site (www.MyUBAM.com),
click on Web Sales Admin, scroll to the e-Show &
click on the show number and then click on
"Combine with Home Show and claim Free books with
OrderPro".
When the show closes, you will be
able to import the amount of web sales into OrderPro
so the hostess will get free books based on the
combined amount.
|
What could I
email right after a home show to guests
who didn't come to the show? |
"Hi Suzy! So
sorry you weren't able to make it to
Jane's Usborne Books & More show tonight. We
had a blast! Everyone was so excited about the
books and enjoyed picking out books that their
kids will love! Top picks were _______ and
______ everyone loved idea of using _________ in
the car to keep kids busy during summer travel.
It's not to late to be part of the party. You
can shop online at ________
(eshow link) until
_______ and your sale will still be credited to
Jane's show! Make sure you check out our summer
special sets...some of those are 40% off!"
 |
Sometimes this generates $100-$300
MORE in sales from the home show.
It's well worth doing! |
|
What If I Want to
Change the Closing Date? |
You can edit the e-Shows yourself when
you have a typo or need to change the date. Also,
you can switch between regular e-show and combo
e-Show.
The editing feature is available on your Web Sales
Admin page. Scroll down to the section that lists
your active e-Shows and click on the ID number of
the e-Show that needs to be edited. That opens the
edit screen so just make your changes and click the
button to save them.
|
How Do I Get the Web Order
Amount Into OrderPro?
|
In Order Pro, open your order. Then click "tools"
from the top tool bar. Click on "Combine e-Show
Sales" & enter the hostess ID# (something like
HOS16762). You can get this number from your Web
Sales Admin page. Then click Retrieve. You will
need to be connected to the Internet.
With OrderPro Online, you will simply select the
show you would like to combine.
The retail amount from the e-Show will be added
to the total retail sales. You will not see the
book titles ordered online since they have already
been shipped. The hostess benefits will now be
based on the total of the e-Show orders and the live
home show orders combined. You can import that
retail as many times as you want until the order is
transmitted. Once the order is transmitted, you can
no longer add the retail from an e-Show.
Free books earned
from combo e-shows are entered through OrderPro, not
through your website.
|
When
Are The Books Shipped?
|
The web orders are shipped as the orders are
received, and the live orders entered directly into OrderPro
are shipped together with the show order. You can
still enter Special Deliveries on the show order,
too.
The consultant and the hostess will also receive an
email copy of the order when it is placed. An email
shipping confirmation will be sent to the web
customer on the evening that their order is
shipped. It contains a copy of the invoice and the
UPS tracking number.
Shipping for each web order is 8% with a $5.00
minimum for UPS delivery. Shipping to APO,
FPO, Alaska, and Hawaii will be 12% with a $5
minimum for First Class USPS, as UPS does not
ship there.
|
What Does the Home Office Do
with Customer Info Collected? |
That information is only given to the consultant for future
contact. The consultant can follow up with the web
customers, as you would with a home show customer,
offering specials and notifying them of new titles
various times during the year. Web customer info is
available on your Web Sales Admin page.
Customer info is not sold or used for any other
purpose.
Sales tax is charged for wherever the order is being
shipped to.
|
How Can I See If I Have Any
Combo e-Show Orders?
|
Any of these 3 ways:
-
You get an email with the info when each web
order is placed, and you get an order invoice
confirmation when it the web order is shipped.
-
from the consultant site (www.MyUBAM.com)
click on Web Sales Admin to check your
e-show sales.
-
www.ubah.com/ecommerce/e-showinfo.asp
then it prompts you for the email address
and the password you entered when you set
it up.
|
What Does It Mean "Chat"? |
There is an
optional chat feature that can be used if you or the
hostess wants to schedule an official time for
an e-Show chat. This is a fun place to meet with
potential customers, hostesses or recruits as well
to build a relationship and answer questions. You
can schedule a time when you set up the show & let
your online guests know to meet with you in that
special chatroom then!
You can add a chat time through your Web Sales Admin
page, by clicking on the e-Show ID#, entering the
date & time of your chat & clicking Update.
|
Are e-Fairs done the same way?
|
You can do e-Fairs in combination with live
Bookfairs in very much the same way. I
recommend setting up an e-fair along with every
bookfair. E-Fairs are set up on your website
admin page where you can also read more
information.
|
How
Much is the Commission and When Do I Get
It?
|
Commission on regular web orders is 15% for
individual orders $0 - $84.99, and 25% for
individual orders of $85+. HOWEVER, you get 25%
commission on ALL web orders placed through e-Shows
& combo e-Shows!
Commission on all web orders is paid by check from
the home office, sent by the 15th of the following
month, along with any earned sales bonus and
recruiting bonus.
$400 total e-Show orders in September = $100 check
by October 15th.
Commission
for the live orders through OrderPro is subtracted
from the Amount Due in OrderPro as usual.
