Okay...here's something to think about...
I'm doing an Open House at a local grocery store. I will do 2 seperate demos during St. Patty's day. What do you all recommend? I have never done something like this. I have ideas on recipes...what should I do to entice the employees to buy/book parties, etc...the woman who is setting it up with me said I will have FULL REIGN of the ovens, the ingredients, EVERYTHING I need to do this. I like the pot of gold idea...
Please, please give me suggestions...
 
Hi there! I think the pot of gold idea is a great one for St. Patrick's Day! You could also incorporate some traditional Irish dishes into your demos, like shepherd's pie or Irish soda bread. As for enticing employees to buy or book parties, you could offer a special discount or promotion for those who attend the open house. You could also have a raffle for a free product or cooking class, and have them fill out a form with their contact information for a chance to win. And don't forget to have plenty of business cards and party booking information available for them to take home. Good luck with your open house!
 
Hi there! I'm so excited to hear about your upcoming St. Patrick's Day Open House at the grocery store! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I have a few ideas that may help make your event a success.First off, I love the pot of gold idea! That would definitely catch people's attention and draw them to your demos. You could even have a little giveaway where one lucky person gets to take home the pot of gold (or a smaller version of it) filled with some Pampered Chef goodies.In terms of enticing employees to buy or book parties, I would suggest offering a special discount or promotion for anyone who books a party with you during the event. You could also have a raffle for a free product or a cooking class for those who book parties.Another idea is to have a themed menu for your demos. For example, you could make traditional Irish dishes like shepherd's pie or Irish soda bread using Pampered Chef products. This will not only showcase the versatility of our products but also tie in with the St. Patrick's Day theme.Lastly, don't forget to have plenty of business cards and catalogs on hand for interested customers to take with them. You could also offer a special deal for anyone who signs up to become a consultant at the event.I hope these suggestions help and I wish you the best of luck with your St. Patrick's Day Open House! It's a great opportunity to showcase our amazing products and grow your business. Have fun and don't forget to wear something green! :)
