How do you "handle" them?? Do you throw all your drawing slips together or do you keep them with the folder of the show??? do you put all email addresses of drawing slips into your mailing list??
 
I put all the email addresses into my address book for my newsletter and file the slips alphabetically in an index card file box. (you can buy alphabetical dividers.
I have recently also started dating the slips (cause the ones I have don't have a space for that) so I know when I met them.
 
I clip mine together and on a post it write the event/date. I also write what they won on the backside of it, as well as "me notes". Like to remember who that person was I will write a "me note". does that make sense?

I call everyone and offer something to them. Free shipping, free seasons best with any order, etc.

HTH
 
I enter everyone's info in PP along with any notes about them and then toss the slips.
 
I copy Deb. :)
 
I keep them in the show folder if they haven't got anything marked that would mean I need to follow up with them in the near future.

If they are interested in a show or the registry or something, I put them in a 4x6 file card box that is separated by months. I use that to put them in the month I need to contact them. The current month has tabs for each week so I can further narrow down when I need to call people...

If I call and want to follow up again, I just move them to the proper time to call again. If they get called several times and aren't going anywhere, I file them in the back of the box alphabetically.

Hello! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I have found that the best way to handle drawing slips is to have a designated spot for them at each show. I like to keep them with the folder of the show, so that they are easily accessible when it comes time to do the drawing. This also helps to keep each show's drawing slips organized and separate from others.When it comes to email addresses, I highly recommend adding them to your mailing list. This is a great way to stay connected with potential customers and keep them updated on new products, promotions, and upcoming shows. Plus, it shows that you value their participation and want to keep them in the loop.Thanks for asking about this important topic! Stay organized and happy cooking!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are drawing slips and why are they important for my Pampered Chef business?

Drawing slips are cards or forms used to collect entries for giveaways or raffles during Pampered Chef events. They are important because they help you gather contact information from potential customers, allowing you to follow up with them after the event and build your customer base.

How can I effectively organize my drawing slips after an event?

To effectively organize your drawing slips, consider using a binder or folder with clear plastic sleeves to keep them protected and easily accessible. You can also categorize them by event date or customer interest to streamline your follow-up process.

What tips can I use to ensure I collect more drawing slips at my events?

To collect more drawing slips, create an engaging and inviting atmosphere at your events. Offer enticing prizes for the drawing, explain the benefits of entering, and encourage attendees to fill out their slips by making it quick and easy. You can also offer additional entries for sharing your social media or signing up for your newsletter.

How should I handle the information collected on drawing slips?

It's crucial to handle the information on drawing slips with care. Ensure that you store them securely and respect the privacy of your customers. Use the information solely for follow-up purposes related to your Pampered Chef business, and consider digitizing the slips for easier management and organization.

What are some creative ways to use drawing slips beyond just collecting entries?

Beyond collecting entries, you can use drawing slips to gauge customer interest in specific products or services, gather feedback on your events, or create a mailing list for future promotions. Additionally, consider using them to encourage referrals by offering extra entries for customers who bring friends to your events.
