Does anyone try to sell their own kids fundraisers to your daycare families?

any creative ways you can give them a chance to look over the forms and product without awkwardly standing in front of them for 20 minutes or forcing them to look at the sheet while they're standing in your door way?

Can you photocopy the forms with a little note saying that if they are interested to let you know by such and such a date. That way they can look at it at home and don't feel pressured to buy anything.

My mom just started selling Scentsy and to help her out I'm throwing a party at my home. I wasn't going to invite any of my families to the party, but I was thinking about mentioning that if they wanted some they could place an order. Still havent decided whether or not I would feel appropriate doing that.

I wouldn't bother with my parents that have kids in school, they already get enough fundraisers! But I'm thinking aobut the ones that have their first child with me. Some of the fundraisers have great stuff in them and maybe they'd like to take advantage.

The photocopy is a great idea!

I keep a basket in the entryway full of magasines, samples, paperback books or whatever I can pass along. Families are invited to take whatever they may be interested in. I have a mom who sells regal so I let her put some in my basket. Maybe I would just leave the panphlet there and let them know it is there... ?
