-
A. Go ahead and write up their order.
-
B. Build their wish lists
-
C. Circle what they want in the catalog.
-
D. Sit down if they are finished shopping.
Correct Answer
A. B. Build their wish listsExplanation
Correct Answer: Build their wish lists. The guests will look for direction and guidance from the Fashion Director throughout each part of the show. (That’s why we are called Fashion Directors!) A good director will not want the shopping to end too soon. Adding additional selections to a wish list will be a reason for a guest to book her own show.Rate this question:

B. Shopping guides

C. A timer
-
D. Pens
-
E. All of the above
Correct Answer
A. E. All of the aboveExplanation
Correct Answer: All of the above. Having just the items that guests need available will help them shop easily and efficiently. A mirror is a necessity! Having pens and shopping guides handy when they approach the jewelry table will help them get started with their shopping. A timer, set for 15 or 20 minutes (depending on the number of guests) will help to remind the guests to keep shopping. Be sure to have enough light available so that the jewelry shows well.Rate this question:

Correct Answer

Correct Answer: Help her find just the right thing to complement what she is wearing. Jewelry makes the outfit! There will be something on your jewelry table that will enhance the appearance of what each guest is wearing. Since our jewelry goes from casual to couture, the director’s job is to find items that will enhance any outfit. Help each guest find just the right jewelry that fits her personality and outfit.Rate this question:

-
B. Tell her that she should call you tomorrow with her order.
-
C. See if you can at least have her finish up her wish list.
-
D. Have the hostess talk her out of leaving.
Correct Answer
A. C. See if you can at least have her finish up her wish list.Explanation
Correct Answer: See if you can at least have her finish up her wish list. If a guest must leave early (as is often the case), your hostess can be a big help. First, attempt to obtain a completed wish list, so you can at least give the guest an idea of what her purchase would amount to. Additionally, get your hostess to speak to the guest and urge her to stay a little longer. If that is not effective, make arrangements to connect with the guest by phone or in person the next day.Rate this question:

What is the best way to show the Hostess Only jewelry?
-
A. Show it, but keep it separate
-
B. Mix it in with the regular jewelry
-
C. Leave it until the end of the show
-
D. Don’t show it; just have pictures in a picture frame.
Correct Answer
A. A. Show it, but keep it separateExplanation
Correct Answer: Show it, but keep it separate. The director definitely wants to “highlight” the Hostess Only items at the show. As the Hostess Only selections are shown, be sure to comment that the items are either Thank You items ($14 for the return of the guest list) or special items that can be obtained only by someone booking a show, (Star #4/Hostess Only collection). Make sure that you then display the items separately as opposed to mixing them in with the regular line, as they cannot be purchased.Rate this question:
