One of the Directors in the area did something similar to this last year with a set of cookware. She'd won the cookware set at one of our Director meetings, and used it as an incentive. I was over at her house for a NCW and she could not even participate because she was so busy trying to get those competitive shows closed. A participating host even showed up at her house to see where others were at (I guess to buy a few more items if needed to put her over the top).chefautumn said:Just my 2 cents.... I don't know if competing with another host to win a Bar Pan would be the push for me to host a show. It might be a good idea to some guests, so try it and let us know how it works. I think the colors are good and it helps represent the new spring/summer colors.

I think that is a great idea!!
I use a similar idea at my September shows, because it is my Anniversary month with PC!
I use gift certificates though. The host with 3rd highest sales in my anniversary month gets $20, the second highest gets $30 and top host gets $50. It has really worked out well every year since my first one 4 years ago! I have hosts who usually book in that month every time because they want to try to be the one on top!
And its funny how some people are so competitive and want to know what my highest show is so far so that they can work on beating it! The second year I did it, this one host really wanted to be the #1 host. She ended up with $550 (ish) in outside orders before her show, and then with another $700+ in sales at her show! She got so much free stuff, she was beside herself with excitement!
And yes.... I've been trying to recruit her ever since! Can you imagine what a great consultant she would be?? She has moved to another city now, but we still keep in touch... and im still trying to get her on my team!!
