Boulevard® at Seminar!
This year Main Street Software, Inc. staff attended the US Seminar in Dallas and enjoyed meeting new customers, catching up with those who have been with us for awhile, and making new friends. What an energetic group you are! Thank you for the laughs, the love, and the loyalty!
As is usual, we could hardly beat the heat in Dallas and attendees were happy to shop, sit a spell with us, and enjoy a demonstration of Boulevard. Customer Service Manager, Kennedy, attended in Dallas along with long-time customer, Betty, and Customer Service Representatives Christy, Tami, Tricia, and Mindy. Boulevard 2011 was on display as we showed how to personalize your profiles with a picture, use the new memorized expense feature, add a family name for mailing labels, and add explanations and expiration dates to the Edit Physical Count dialog.
Attendees who stopped by took away a goodie bag complete with every woman’s best friend – chocolate! Many of you also took advantage of our cash & carry postcard special offer. Don’t worry – if you missed out on yours, you can still order our exclusive and highly professional designs in sets of 10 from the web. Your best deal is our Prepaid Postcard Service, however. Let us mail them for you! You will see easily why LuAnn recommends using our postcards as they epitomize professionalism and will definitely stand out in the recipient’s mailbox.
Of course those who stopped by also got to put a face to the voice they hear over the phone plus pick up a few tips to boost business when returning home. As always, we are so excited to be able to attend these events and bring the customer service you know us for. Until we meet again, we wish you continued success and inspiration in your businesses. Happy New Year!

We’re taught that setting a goal is the first step toward achievement. Follow-through is key, though. In your business, this means tracking.
Weekly Accomplishment Sheet & Personal Sales Tracking
Unit or Area recognition is often based on retail product sold during the seminar year. From Preferences inside Boulevard software, click on the Weekly Accomplishment tab and ensure Base YTD totals on Seminar Year is checked. The New Year-to-Date Sales Total on the Weekly Accomplishment Sheet will now reflect your seminar year sales.
To view your sales, from under the Utility menu select Weekly Accomplishment (or by selecting the dollar sign symbol from the main toolbar). Then File and Print Preview.
When retrieving weekly accomplishment information, if a message appears that tells you the seminar year is undefined, return to Preferences and select the Seminar tab this time.
In order to retrieve information for seminar year-to-date, the seminar year selected must be entered. For our customers on the premium Product Update Service, the summer CD will update this information for the upcoming year.
Queen’s Court of Sales Tracking
Unlike the Weekly Accomplishment Sheet, the Queen’s Court dialog shows the retail credit you have earned from Mary Kay® based on product orders placed throughout the seminar year. This is an excellent tool for tracking Queen’s Court of Personal Sales. It shows a list of all product order totals in the current or previous seminar year as well as the total retail value of all orders and the Queen’s Court qualifying amount. To view personal production entered into your Boulevard software, click on the Product menu, then Order. In the Maintain Orders dialog select the Queen’s Court button.
Additional information can be found in the Help by hitting the F1 key at any time in either of these areas of Boulevard.
We’d love to hear if you met your seminar goals and about your walk across stage in July! You can do it – and we’re here to help.

If you keep the product for yourself or use it for demonstration purposes, you do not have to do anything with these items. However, if you decide to shelve the products for sale, you will need to add the items to inventory in your Boulevard software.
To add the items into your inventory, follow these steps:
- Click on Product then Order.
- Click on New. Name the order (e.g., Seminar 2010 Free Product).
- Add the item(s) to the order using the part number from the packaging.
- When all items have been added to the order, un-check Default at the bottom of the order.
- Type 100 in the discount percentage.
- Change the sales tax percentage to 0.
- Click OK and place and receive the order.

This year Main Street Software, Inc. staff attended both the Canadian and US Seminars and enjoyed meeting new customers, catching up with those who have been with us, and making new friends.
As is usual, we could hardly beat the heat in Dallas and attendees were happy to shop, sit a spell in our booth, and enjoy a demonstration of Boulevard. Customer Service Manager, Kennedy, attended in Dallas along with long-time customer, Betty, and Customer Service Representatives Christy and Tami. Boulevard 2010 was on display as we showed how to export orders to the online ordering system (US only), import beauty profile information, track bank deposits made, and manage money with the Business Tracking Register.
Attendees who stopped by and saw us received an extra entry in the Win LuAnn for a Day contest and took away a goodie bag complete with every woman’s best friend – chocolate! Canadians were treated to a special class with LuAnn followed by a day to stop by and get questions asked or see demonstrations. We are so excited to be able to attend these events and bring the customer service we are known for to you!
