I have someone that wants to order the chillzanne bowl. (He put his neighbor's bowl in the microwave and messed it up). Anyway, that's all he wants. I think if I can get it to him fast, and add a bonus or two for his neighbor...(he says they cook all the time, but he doesn't), I may end up with some additional sales from the neighbors AND/OR a booking. What is the best way to submit it? Should I do a personal order or a show? Are there any other options?
 
It has to be $150 to be a show.
 
Do you have any shows going in right away? If you do, and if you know the host well, you can add it to that show. That saves him on S&H. Otherwise, an individual order is pretty much the only way to handle it.

Then, if you want to get the item in quickly, you will have to do an Individual order. Sorry
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Personal Order in Pampered Chef?

A Personal Order is when a consultant places an order for themselves or on behalf of a customer without hosting a party. This allows individuals to purchase products directly and can be a convenient option for those who want specific items without the need for a larger gathering.

What is a Really Small Show?

A Really Small Show is a mini party format that allows consultants to showcase products and take orders in a more intimate setting, often with just a few guests. This format is ideal for those who may not have the time or desire to host a larger gathering but still want to enjoy the benefits of a Pampered Chef event.

What are the benefits of placing a Personal Order?

Placing a Personal Order can be beneficial because it allows you to get the exact products you want without waiting for a party to be scheduled. Additionally, it can help you earn rewards and discounts as a consultant, and you can take advantage of any ongoing promotions or sales.

Can I combine a Personal Order with a Really Small Show?

Yes, you can combine a Personal Order with a Really Small Show. This allows you to showcase products to your guests while also placing an order for items you want. It can be a great way to maximize your benefits and create a more engaging experience for your guests.

How do I decide between a Personal Order and a Really Small Show?

Deciding between a Personal Order and a Really Small Show depends on your goals. If you want to simply purchase items for yourself or a customer, a Personal Order is the way to go. However, if you want to engage with friends, showcase products, and potentially earn rewards, a Really Small Show would be more beneficial.
