I would really like to promote SA for the October Host Special --- but I don't have very many pieces (Dots Oval Platter and Small Caddy with Bowls).

Any tips/advice?
 
You could do the 30 min chicken and put the carved pieces on the platter with maybe cranberry sauce in the bowls.
 
That's all you need. Take them to every show. It shows off the dots and the stands. One piece shows the quality. Most any recipe you make can show off the platter you have (even if you have to cut it to fit) and if not using the square bowls the caddy & bowls can hold pens or whatever.

The pics in the catalog will sell the other pieces. Remind people they make great entertaining pieces or everyday dishes.
 
The only piece of simple additions I have is the dotts large bowl, and it is so large I don't plan to take it to every show ... if I had one in early October or late September, I would be sure to make something I could put in that bowl. As it is, my next live show is mid-October so I plan to promote the upcoming Stoneware special.But it has been said that we have a beautiful catalog that shows off all our pieces ... you can describe them without having them to show.

LOVE the 30minute chicken idea!

Thanks for the ideas and re-assurance.
 
I think people just like to see what they look like and know the perks (chip resistant, micro safe, etc). So I think what you have is fine.

Just try to work them in to the recipe or have the hostess put some of her food in/on them.
 
I have lots of them but rarely sell any, ha!:D So, from my point of view you do not have to have it or not to sale it.
