SUMMARY
The discussion centers on strategies for hosting an effective open house, specifically regarding whether to conduct live demonstrations or prepare recipes in advance. The participant shared their experience of hosting a successful open house with a $500 show by preparing recipes beforehand, although they noted that a brief introductory talk could have enhanced the experience. The consensus suggests that the approach should align with the event's goals, whether showcasing products through demos or fostering networking through prepped recipes. A combination of both methods is also recommended for optimal engagement.

I did my own open house as my first party. I did all the recipes before hand and was finishing up one when people started arriving. It was a big party/grill out. I actually ended up not even doing the "little talk" I had planned on, way too many people. I set out my catalogs and forms. My guest started just walking up to me with their orders. I had a $500 show!!! I am sure though, that if I would have done some kind of little "here's my story....." talk I could have done a lot better!!
Good luck!!
Good luck!!

It really depends on what type of open house you are having and what your goals are. If you are showcasing a specific product or service, it may be beneficial to do a demo during the open house. This can give potential customers a chance to see your product or service in action and ask any questions they may have.On the other hand, if your open house is more focused on networking and building relationships, it may be better to prep recipes beforehand and have them available for guests to try. This can create a more casual and relaxed atmosphere for guests to mingle and get to know you and your business.Ultimately, it's up to you and what you feel will best showcase your business and achieve your goals for the open house. You could also consider doing a combination of both, such as having a demo station set up but also having prepped recipes available for guests to try at their leisure. Good luck with your open house!
