A Season's Best

[ChefBeckyD]

I have a bamboo bowl with different gifts in it for people to choose. Right now, I have past seasons SB, quick cut knives, citrus peelers, and as of yesterday, some certificates I made up if they book a show.

I'll attach what I have - but it isn't really pretty - I just printed it up on card stock and cut them out....

Thanks Becky for this idea. I like the coupon idea. Now, if I can just mke them take these!!;)

[etteluap70PC]

Becky... Can they see these coupons or are they a surprise?

Becky, I think I have seen that you use Vista Print, I bet those coupons would work very well on a postcard template in your bowl!

DUH! I can't believe I hadn't thought of that! Thanks Nancy!:D

Yeah, I'm stealing your idea and plan to make some of my own. If you beat me to the punch and make them first, please share!!! I will do the same.

I usually just have some twix-it clips, pan scrapers and citrus peelers. Sometimes I'll throw in extra items if I have them - quick-cut knives, old season's best, etc.

[smilesarepriceless]

varies ---but either:
mini-whipper
all purpose spreader
can strainer
small bamboo spoon set

those are 99% of the time what I have as my door prize slip winner

i love the coupon idea! TFS!

I heard a great idea for new consultants the other day. They usually don't have the extra money for supplies or extra things lying around. So, have them get a $1 box of Jiffy muffin mix and make up mini-muffins. They can do 4 bags of 6 with a pretty ribbon tied around it.

Cheap, easy and instant gratification for the winner!

If I'm running low on my usuall stuff (SB, Twix-it clips, etc) I do free shipping or tax on me, just to have a little something for the guests.

I am find right now that my best gift is free S&H. I do the early bird drawing, and yes it is getting people there on time, and then I do one more during the party. I also do one with questions about the business. So I spend $12.75.
It is a write off and to my guests, money saved is money saved. Cash seems to speak volumes right now.
It also does several things for me,
1) I do not ever have to worry about buying stuff to have on hand,
2) I don't ever have to carry it;
3) I never have to figure out where I put it;
4) The best part, and I have done this, if a party is not so hot, I simply never expose more than the early bird drawing so I never feel obligated to give more than one away.
