This is a fabulous flyer Kara! I need to start stressing this idea at my parties....I don't offer this...I usually just mention that the DCB+Salad Choppers is a true Dinnertime in No Time Must Have. I tell them that they both will help them fly through salads, entrees and desserts. I add that they will enable their kids and hubby's to help get the prep or meal going.

I am being lazy so forgive me please... how much does the customer save with this set? Also, do all of you offer the free shipping with your sets?

KaiKendall

09-15-2009, 10:54 PM

what a great idea! it made me think of another one too, like a "super easy single serving set" with like the mini baker, etc. I'm a single mom and the mini baker is just big enough... oooh, ideas are going, i'll post when i'm done!

I believe it's a total of $5.25 savings with the free shipping. I'm not really telling them that it's so much off... just marketing that it's $99 plus free shipping, so they're saving! :D

wait....how can you offer free shipping to people...or offer sets...newbie :)

You can offer any type of discounts you want, when you enter the order in P3 and enter the payment you enter the "free" or "discounted" amount as a consultant gift. So I will be entering $5.25 for each of these sets as consultant gift. Keep in mind any discounts or freebies on orders come out of your pocket :)

Do any Canadians offer a DCB set? Our prices are different, and I haven't figured out how to come up with a nice number...

I have two different DCB Bundles that I created for the new Fall products, one features the Pocket Thermometer and the other has the Round Up from the Heart Trivet.

Hope these help!

blueberrylady

09-19-2009, 06:14 PM

So, I stole your flier and made a new one for the mini-baker too, so there's a $55 set (I only did half price shipping, since it's a smaller set, total savings about $5) in addition to your DCB set. I'm a temporary single mom (husband is overseas) so I use my mini-baker A TON for just me and my 4 year old, so I figured it's a good alternative!

This is a great idea! :thumbup:
but you need to add something to make it retail $60. Then add "PC Gift of the Month" to your flyer. In October, it will be the Bar Board.

pamperedchef07

09-19-2009, 06:46 PM

Okay so I am confused...is this something PC is doing or you decided to offer?

KaiKendall

09-19-2009, 06:52 PM

It's something that you as a consultant can just create. Put the discount in as a "consultant gift" to bring it to the price point you listed. I like the RUFTH trivit as part of the set, and that's a good note about the $60 purchase. Maybe for next month I'll try a different set with a $60 price point! thanks!

09-19-2009, 07:15 PM

I will be offering it for the first time at a cooking show next Sat, so I'll let you know! There are plenty of other threads about others who have been offering different DCB sets for quite a while and having success with it- you may find some links at the bottom of this thread :)

Did you have your show yet? Curious how it went over. I have a show on 10/3 that I'm thinking of offering this on. Let us know! THANKS!

Wow, this is a great idea, too! I have a lot of retirees at my shows who tell me they are only cooking for themselves and their hubby, so they don't like to make big huge meals anymore. This is a great option for them, too! THANKS!

I thought it would be really cool if we all posted what we're including in our $99 DCB set, along with flyers (if you have them!) I might consider offering multiple sets or changing them up every so often, plus this would be great for newbies too!

So, here is mine:

- White or Cranberry glazed DCB
- Choice of 2 Rubs
- New Digital Pocket Thermometer
- Weekday Dinners Done! recipe collection
- Free shipping

Flier attached! Enjoy!

So excited to see everyone else's! :D

Well, I offered this deal at Saturday's show and didn't get any interest...but was not giving up. Saturday's crowd was simply not into stoneware AT ALL. I did it again at last night's show - sold 2 "sets" and one DCB not with the set...and the host is getting a DCB, too! THANK YOU for sharing this idea!!!!

but you need to add something to make it retail $60. Then add "PC Gift of the Month" to your flyer. In October, it will be the Bar Board.

You could offer it with just 1 rub..and then add the Mini Measure-All Cup. That would make it $60.25. I would probably just do it for $60. I would cover the shipping. That would be perfect for the months that there is a free gift with a $60 purchase.

chefheidi2003

09-24-2009, 11:10 AM

OK..Here is an idea for a set...A Kitchen Start Up Set

Small Batter Bowl
Mini Measure all Cup
Adjustable Measureing Spoons
Quikut Paring Knife
Small Mix 'N Scraper
Nylon Tool Set--Basic Set
Oven Pad
Season's Best

You could sell it for $80.

I know that there are a lot more things needed to start up a kitchen but that is a good start. Plus..if they buy that in October, they will also get the free bar board.

Sorry..I am at work..didn't really have time to try to create a flyer..plus..I am not nearly as good at that as some of you. But I love the idea.

LeslieSGI

09-24-2009, 03:13 PM

I steal so much from you guys - here is a flyer for the small set for $60 in October that I made up. Includes:

Mini Baker ($24)
Classic Batter Bowl ($15)
Choice of 2 rubs ($8)
Color Coated Santoku Knife ($17.50)
FREE Bar board ($9.50)

I'm not offering free shipping with this one. This is a $75.00 value for $60.00 plus shipping valid in October only. I'm going to try to rustle up a couple of recipes to offer with it in addition to cooking boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the microwave with one of the rubs.

Okay, leaving in 10 minutes for a show, I really need to jumpstart biz again or I am sunk! I am offering the set today from the original poster, will let you all know how it turns out! I signed a new recruit and did her first show yesterday, I want to stay in and see my biz build!

teresah551393

09-27-2009, 09:10 PM

Well, no takers, but everyone wants a Deep Covered Baker!!! Sold one outright!

pampchefsarah

09-27-2009, 09:20 PM

The set I offered this weekend (one set sold, and one DCB bought separately):

DCB
Salad Choppers
1 Rub of their choice (I pay for anything over $4.00)
SBRC
plus 1 Free Rub OR Free Weekday Dinners Done! set (she took the Dinners Done).

The woman at the second party who bought the DCB separately did so because a friend booked an October show, so she decided to split what she wanted between the two shows. Ok with me - she still spent $100 last night!

I sell a few DCBs, probably because I absolutely love it myself, and rave about it at parties.

Kylene, that's great. If you can fit it in, you might want to mention the other pie tools, like the Pie Guard, the Pastry Cutter, Pastry Blender, and the Pastry Mat. Just a thought.

chef-kina

09-28-2009, 06:42 PM

I took everyone's ideas on here, from the Pampered Packages and made a flyer with just a few to offer and see how it goes...along with these I'll be offering the DCB set and Single Serving Set. Already had one sale on the DCB set and that was just taking it off the printer at work!!! :)
Thanks everyone for your great ideas and creativity!

Is there another program you can open this with? I don't have Publisher and I'd love to see this! Thanks!

PamperedchefDaly

09-29-2009, 06:53 AM

It works! It really, really works!

I tried it for the first time last night. I used one of the flyers that was posted here that included the DCB, the oven mitt, RUFTH trivet, a rub, and a free seasons' best, with free shipping. I mentioned it during last night's show, but alot of time the guests don't pay attention. A guest ordered the DCB, and I asked her at checkout, "did you see the special DCB package?" and showed her the flyer. She said, "Hmmmm. OK!"

And by using this package, I got one more trivet sold!

Just thought of another thing you could do with the dcb bundle - a monthly email with a new recipe. PC keeps coming up with new recipes and you could do an email each month "here's your january recipe for your deep covered baker . . . "

I am waiting not so patiently to get my PC dollars so I can by the DCB...because I want to use it at my shows! I LOVE these package ideas. I think I am going to print off a selection of all the ones you beautiful people have posted. And then have them printed on cardstock and put into a little bound booklet that I can pass around at shows to see show off a variety of package choices...

KaiKendall

10-08-2009, 11:21 PM

I'm trying this at my show tomorrow, I haven't had a cooking show since the thread started so I'm so excited! I put this and the ultimate pie set in a plastic page protector and put it in the prongs of each of my folders. We'll see. I also just got my FREE stoneware on my doorstep today! Now I am packing my FREE rolling tote with my FREE stoneware, and other FREE things from PC dollars, lol (i'm so excited it was FREE). I hope I don't bring TOO much!

I am assuming you have the customer pay the tax?

kdangel518

10-09-2009, 01:27 PM

I have the customer pay the tax on the FULL value- my set is valued at $100, so only $1 savings. That's $0.06 in MA they're paying extra if they were expecting to pay tax on $99. MA doesn't tax on shipping.

Thanks everyone for your great ideas and creativity!

I love this, especially as a "Jump Start Your Holiday Shopping" flyer.

To anyone who is using this have you had any success yet with the flyer?

Without doing the math individually, what is the average savings on each "set"?

PamperedchefDaly

10-10-2009, 09:40 AM

I love this too! My question is: Do you charge them tax on just the $99 or of the actual retail value? For instance, in CT tax on $99 would be $5.94. Now, one of the many sets I saw totaled $100.50 and tax on that would be $6.03. So, would it be $99 + $5.94 OR $99 + $6.03?

Tough call on that one. Technically, the customer should pay tax on the exact amount they paid. However, we don't remit the sales tax to the state--PC does, and they will remit the tax on the full value. When I was a Shaklee distributor I had a sales tax number. I collected sales tax based on the cost of the item and remitted the collected tax to the state tax department.

To be fair to the customer, you should base the sales tax on the amount charged. Anything over that amount should be entered in P3 as "consultant gift". HTH

10-10-2009, 05:08 PM

Hello all!! I took what I got from this post to make 2 mini baker sets. I "stole" a couple of the DCB flyers from here so I made the mini sets to match those. Let me know what you think and if you think I should change anything. I am still fairly new so there may be something I'm missing.

10-10-2009, 08:18 PM

I love MB Set 1! Great Job! Thanks for sharing with us.

You asked for feedback...Really, nothing as you did a fabulous job, but here's my input. :)

The "00" on the $6 for needs to adjusted, looks like they're "oo".
By offering free shipping and a SB, you are giving away almost half your profit.

Again, they look great!

Has anyone considered using bi-weekly or monthly packages for their email list or newsletter? It would give an excuse to contact our customers multiple times and offer them a new and exciting money saving package. Perhaps offer an extra incentive if they book a show to get it? (book a show and purchase this set at your show and receive a free ______)

Thoughts?

TrishPCMommy

10-17-2009, 02:21 PM

I tried the DCB Special and my first show last night, and had no takers.

I was wondering when you present the 'flyer/special' to them. I had it in the guest packet and introduced it towards the beginning with the DCB.

Should I hold off to the end of the show and introduce the special?

First, are you using the DCB at your Show (for your demo recipe)? When you demo the DCB with a recipe and talk about its versatility, you grab more attention... Then, share the offer that they can take advantage of tonight at your Show... Use the products in the flyer during your demo.

robochick84

10-20-2009, 02:07 PM

I just did this again at my second show on Sunday, and still no takers on the "Special" $99 set.

I did sell 3 deep covered bakers as single items though!

cookwithtiffany

10-22-2009, 09:18 AM

Mine for October is:

-DCB (Cranberry or white0
-1 rub
-1 SBRC
-Bar board
-Salad Choppers or $25 shopping spree from the catalog.

The $25 shopping spree typically brings the persons order to more than $99 they just pay the difference. i had one lady order $218 at my last show because I offered the $25 shopping spree.

Next month I will have the same just without the Bar board. I am letting people know this at my shows so they take advantage of the special now!

I use the one Carolyn (dannyzmom) posted, except I took the free shipping out (I'm cheap). Last week I didn't sell any, but I also didn't demoa DCB recipe. Last night I did a DCB recipe and sold 1 set and one DCB out of 4 orders.

cookingwithdot

10-23-2009, 12:18 PM

Here is the one I use. I just tag it onto another order to get the free shipping. ;) I sold one at my first show and I plan on using it again!

cookingwithdot

10-23-2009, 12:25 PM

So, I stole your flier and made a new one for the mini-baker too, so there's a $55 set (I only did half price shipping, since it's a smaller set, total savings about $5) in addition to your DCB set. I'm a temporary single mom (husband is overseas) so I use my mini-baker A TON for just me and my 4 year old, so I figured it's a good alternative!

I love this alternative - thanks! This doesn't come with a lid, does it?

10-23-2009, 12:29 PM

I have two different DCB Bundles that I created for the new Fall products, one features the Pocket Thermometer and the other has the Round Up from the Heart Trivet.

I like how you use the SB as a "bonus gift" and not part of the set ... everyone likes to think they are getting a little extra ... :)

That's my thought also. Plus if they are eligble for a free gift they wouldn't get it if you place it on another order that is eligble for a free gift.

Just a thought here also. My aunt used to have a consultant who would combine orders to get the free gift. This did two things... People were still paying for the shipping (was she taking it?) and left a product for who ever to fight over. I think it's a little decieving to promote your business like this.

i have found if you tell them the Cost of a DCB with tax and shipping versus the SET with FREE shipping those who were going to buy the DCB alone will go with the set. I have turned every DCB sale into a set.

JenWard

11-07-2009, 04:41 PM

Do any Canadians offer a DCB set? Our prices are different, and I haven't figured out how to come up with a nice number...

I have been toying with the idea and finally figured something out to do in Canada while still keeping it a $99 sale. (I took out free shipping, but gave an offer of either the oven mitt or the thermometer & one rub. It makes it either $99.75 or $103.25 depending on which the customer picks.) I am attaching the flyer I made. I haven't tried it yet, but am planning on bringing it to my show tonight. I have a couple other ideas, but not the time to play with them right now. Let me know if you find this useful. Jen
