Dear New Hostess,
I am so glad that you have decided to have your own Premier
Designs Home Show. You and your guests will have SO much
fun with all of the jewelry!
During your show, we will talk about fashion tips, new and
innovative ways to wear your Premier jewelry and also allow
your guests to experiment and try on the jewelry for
themselves. We will definitely have LOTS of FUN!
This notebook contains lots of useful information to help make
your show a GREAT success. Please return it back to me the
night of the show, so I may use if again for another hostess.
(Possibly one of your guests will host a party herself!)
I’m looking forward to working with you and helping you to earn
TONS of FREE JEWELRY, which is certainly the BEST part!
Please let me know if I can help to answer any questions
before your show. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon!
Best wishes,
Cookie Strickland

THREE EASY STEPS TO A GREAT HOME SHOW!
Our goal is for you and your guests to have fun at your show and for you to earn as much
half-price and free jewelry as possible. You will accomplish this by following these
steps:
Things to do before the show:
Step #1 – Personally invite each guest with enthusiasm! Remember, only 1/3 of those
you invite are usually able to make it on the selected date. Over inviting is the key
to attendance.
You may want to tell your guests:
1. Premier offers high fashion jewelry with a guarantee against manufacturing defects.
2. 85% of the jewelry is priced under $35
3. Assure your guests “there is no pressure to buy.”
4. There will be helpful hints on accessorizing
5. Your guests should wear solid color tops for trying on the jewelry.
Step #2 – Obtain $100 in advance orders before the show
It’s Worth Your Time! Personally pass the catalog around and point out the guarantees on
the back cover. This $100 in advance orders guarantees you $80 in free jewelry!
•
The regular hostess reward of 30% of the $100 sales in free jewelry , plus a $25 bonus
for getting the $100 in advance orders, plus a $25 bonus for having your show on the
originally scheduled date.
•
Getting $100 in advance orders will qualify your show. (The deadline for advance orders
is the night of your show.)
Step #3 – Make 24-48 hour reminder phone calls.
This will greatly affect your attendance! Many times people who intend to come or have
responded will forget an are appreciative of the reminder.
Phone verbiage: Simply say, “I’m looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at my jewelry show.
Don’t forget to wear a solid color top. I’m counting on you to be a model. And, please feel
free to bring a friend.”
GET EXCITED! GET EXCITED! GET EXCITED!

and fashion tips for your guests. Remember though, you do receive a $25 bonus when you have ten or more

As a Premier Hostess, you pay a $4 shipping fee and tax only – on your free and half-price jewelry.

The more refreshments you have, the lower your sales tend to be. I suggest a plate of cookies and soft drinks
or coffee. Please avoid greasy and salty items as they tend to get on the jewelry.

Premier has no policy against children attending the show. However, please keep in mind that children can be

I’m allergic…
Premier has something called soft spots. They cover the backs of earrings.
10. I’m sorry, but I’m really busy and can’t fit another thing into my schedule.
I know how you feel. But, I’ve found that spending a little time on myself helps relieve my stress and is both
relieving and revitalizing! Plus, you’ll get to spend time with other women and have a girl’s night out! Doesn’t
that sound fun! You deserve a break – and it’s only a couple of hours, tops!

Potential Income in Premier
Retailing – Average Gross Profit is approximately $200 per Home Show!
1 Home Show a month = $200 x 12 months = $2,400 a year
2 Home Shows a month = $400 x 12 months = $4,800 a year
4 Home Shows a month = $800 x 12 months = $9,600 a year
6 Home Shows a month = $1,200 x 12 months = $14,400 a year
8 Home Shows a month = $1,600 x 12 months = $19,200 a year
* To build a great business, you need to hold 6 – 8 home shows a month
Sponsoring – Average Active Jeweler will probably make you $50 - $65 a month!
1 Jeweler = $50 - $65 per month x 12 months = $600 - $780 per year
10 Jewelers = $500 - $650 per month x 12 months = $6,000 - $7,800 per year
25 Jewelers = $1,250 - $1,625 per month x 12 months = $15,000 - $19,500 per year
50 Jewelers = $2,500 - $3,250 per month x 12 months = $30,000 - $39,000 per year
100 Jewelers = $5,000 - $6,500 per month x 12 months = $60,000 - $78,000 per year
200 Jewelers = $10,000 - $13,000 per month x 12 months = $120,000 - $156,000 per year
NOTE: These figures are for illustration purposes only and are not intended in any way to represent guaranteed income or profit.
Think it’s too good to be true? It’s really not!
According to the DSA (Direct Selling Association):
50% of representatives make less than $500 per year
40% of representatives make between $500 - $5,000 per year
90% of representatives make less than $5,000 per year
If the average gross profit per Home Show is $200 and the average Jeweler does only 3 -4 shows a month, that
equals $600 - $800 x 12 months = $7,200 - $9,600 a year!
That means the average Premier Jeweler makes more than 90% of the
other representatives in Direct Sales!!!
What could you do with Premier? It depends on how much time you want to devote!
5 hours a week = Hobby Level (1 show, make a little extra money)
10 hours a week = Part Time (2 shows, make enough for bills, small items)
15+ hours a week = Full Time (3+ shows, replace full time income)
Our Quick Start Program allows you to pay off your initial start up fee within 45 days or less!
In this program, you also earn $200 - $300 in additional FREE JEWELRY to add to your kit!
You could easily start making a profit within your first 30 – 45 days!
* In most cases if you do 6 – 9 shows in 45 days, you should pay off your initial investment and turn a profit!
