I am so excited, My kit was delivered last night and I believe I have
everything organized so far...I want to order some supplies and wondered
if anyone could tell me how long it usually takes to be delivered. I want
to order some door prizes and hope they arrive on time for my first show!
Also I wondered when putting the host packet together, where do I find
the show planner???? :o
 
Yipee!! Isn't that exciting? I ordered the supply booster that you can order the first month or two that you sell. I sent it via mail and it came in about a week. Do you have a PC Debit or Credit card yet? You need to get one of them. You have to have one to place orders. When I place a supply order online, I usually have it within a week!! One bit of advice. Just about every question you have can be answered in your hand book. If for some reason you can't find it there, this site is awesome!
 
The show planner is the purplish color booklet and it should be there with the rest of your paperwork. I don't have one with me right now or I'd describe it better.
Whenever I order supplies I usually get it within about 3-4 days. Until then, if you have a show, you should have several Season's Best that were included in your kit for door prizes. People really seem to love those books. This is a good time to watch the kitchen show video and to plan your first recipe or recipes for your show. Also read your Recipe for Success a few times to get familiar with the procedures and information located in it. Also, if you are going to use the Pampered Partner software, load it up and spend some time going over that as well.
Have fun getting everything organized. I spent about three days going over and over all my stuff to get familiar with it

Yes, I was so excited when I saw it in front of my door...It was a little heavy
though trying to carry it up all my stairs. LOL! :eek: Thanks! I tried looking up
the show planners but couldn't seem to find them... I will have to look again
when I go home for lunch. :)

I thought it was something different. I can't wait to get home after work

Frequently Asked Questions

What supplies do I need to order for my first Pampered Chef show?

For your first Pampered Chef show, you will need to order essential supplies such as catalogs, order forms, and any promotional materials. Additionally, consider ordering a few key products that you plan to demonstrate, as well as any tools or utensils that will enhance your presentation.

How do I plan the layout for my first show?

To plan the layout for your first show, choose a space that allows for easy movement and visibility. Set up a designated area for product demonstrations, ensuring that guests can see and hear you clearly. Arrange tables for guests to gather around, and create a welcoming atmosphere with decorations that reflect the Pampered Chef brand.

What is the best way to promote my first show?

Promoting your first show can be done through various channels. Utilize social media platforms to create event pages, send out invitations via email, and encourage friends and family to share the event. Consider offering incentives for guests who bring friends or place orders, and use engaging visuals to showcase the products you’ll be demonstrating.

How can I ensure I have enough supplies for my guests?

To ensure you have enough supplies for your guests, estimate the number of attendees and order supplies accordingly. A good rule of thumb is to prepare for a few extra guests beyond your RSVP list. Keep track of your inventory and consider having a few additional items on hand for last-minute orders or unexpected guests.

What should I do if I run out of supplies during the show?

If you run out of supplies during the show, remain calm and professional. Inform your guests about the situation and offer to take their orders for the items that are out of stock. You can also provide them with catalogs and order forms to ensure they can still place their orders after the show. This approach keeps the momentum going and maintains a positive experience for your guests.
