Product Sampling Program Overview
The ideal way to promote the featured consumer and Host offers and date parties is to demonstrate the products. New consumer products and exclusive Host products are available for purchase at a special discount. Sales force members can purchase everything on the product sample list at one time or they can buy a few at a time during the sample.
Cost
With a few exceptions, the sales force member sample discount is 35% off retail. The cost for sample purchases of the exclusive Host products is 35% off the Host select-your-own cost. Sales force members receive sales credit and Cash and Carry credit on the retail cost of their sample product purchases when they order samples on a non-party Consultant order.
Special Shipping Rate
The shipping and handling for sample purchases is $4.95, provided the order is comprised of only product samples. If sales aids, including dating gifts, or other products are added to the order, shipping will be charged at the normal rate, which currently is 10 percent of the retail value.
Consumer Products
Sample purchases of new consumer products opens two weeks before the sales period starts (usually the day after the official announcement). The product samples are then available at the special rate through the end of the promotional period.
If a new or exclusive product is promoted or available for only one month, then it is offered for sample purchase only during that month. Baseline products—those products shown in the catalog—usually are not available for purchase at the sampling cost. New catalog products open for sample purchases two weeks before the catalog starts and then for the first two-month sales period afterward.
Host Products
Exclusive Host products featured in the catalog also are available for sample purchase starting two weeks before the sales period starts (usually the day after the official announcement). The products remain available at the special rate through the end of the catalog cycle. Exclusive Host products featured only in the two-month promotional flyers are available starting the day after the official launch of the item through the end of the promotional period for that product.
