My host from my highest show last year just rebooked for April. I am giving her the host packet on Friday. I want to offer her something to "meet or beat"
her show last year. Has anyone ever done this before? and if so what have you offered? I want to make it very appealing for her to meet or beat that show. The total was 1,019.00 last year. TIA

I offer something BIG and all my Hosts know they have the opportunity to earn it. The last thing I gave away was a set of Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls. Before that, I gave away all of the NIB cranberry stoneware I had accumulated. Right now, the winner gets the Bamboo Cutting Board.

Do you purchase this on the hosts order, buy it on kit enhancement, or have it already?

The stones I earned and I didn't need extras (I had classics or vanillas in the sames sizes). If I have a host who doesn't want to purchase the Monthly Host bonus (and I have the money) I will sometimes purchase those. I think I got the bowls/cutting board by purchasing them as samples (with the intention of using them as incentives) when they were offered -- I had already earned them so they were seconds.
 
Offer what you have or can get cheap!If someone gets over $1,000 they will get the 30% off from their host order and you can include your gift to them under that:
Executive saute pan
New SA stands
SA pieces
Or ask them what they would like to earn FREE for beating their old sales!!
I have a host who always tries to beat her old sales. Because of sickness she only did $800 last time and she usually has a $1,000 show!! This April I am expecting big and I asked her what she wants to earn FREE. She said she wanted to earn the new executive cookware FREE or 1/2 price. I told her I would give her all the nylon utensils to keep her pans safe and to cook with each day.
That is only $26.75 with my 40% off in April. If she can beat her old $1300 I will still make a minimum of $286 in commission! She is also a good friend of mine and has always given me a minimum of 3 bookings per show!
Plus she has introduced me to a whole group of women that love PC and love to order products all year round!!

I am running a contest where if a host beats my highest show total, I am going to give them an Executive Family Skillet! (the total they have to beat is $1375)

I don't have an extra one on hand, so I will add it to the host's order as a consultant's gift. It is a lot of money, yes, but it is a real motivator! AND I get panorama points for it, LOL.

If my show total gets higher, say around 2K, I might even offer an Executive set!

I just started this promotion, so I'll let you know how it goes....

The hostess with the mostess challenge...I just started this for my 2006 hosts. If you have a $1000 show and the host with the highest show wins this holiday pk. (my sign on bonus package-(Bamboo carving board, meatlifters, and carving set) $139 value! End in November just in time for the Holiday feasts! I'm hoping this will get my hosts to stive high! If no one reaches $1k I will carry it over to the next season and add more to the jackpot! Hope it works!:p

Thanks so much for all the great ideas!!! I am even using one of these incentives for a May host who wants to get the 5 & 7 piece Executive Cookware.

I would use the cookware as an incentive...this way you can order it on the hosts order and get points for pan-o-rama.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of incentives can I offer hosts to encourage higher sales at their shows?

To encourage hosts to achieve higher sales, consider offering incentives such as exclusive discounts on products, free items based on sales thresholds, or a tiered rewards system where hosts earn more as their show sales increase. Additionally, you can provide promotional items or gift cards as a thank-you for hosting a successful show.

How can I help my hosts set realistic sales goals for their shows?

Start by discussing previous show averages and what successful hosts have achieved in the past. Help them identify their personal network and potential guest list to estimate attendance. Encourage them to think about their goals and what products they are excited to share, which can motivate them to reach higher sales targets.

What are some effective ways to promote the show and increase attendance?

Encourage your hosts to utilize social media platforms, create event pages, and send out personal invitations to friends and family. Suggest they offer a fun theme or special promotions to entice guests. Additionally, remind them to follow up with potential attendees to confirm their participation and generate excitement.

How can I support my hosts during the show to maximize sales?

Be present and actively engage with guests during the show. Offer product demonstrations, share cooking tips, and highlight the benefits of the products. Encourage guests to ask questions and provide testimonials about their experiences. Additionally, consider offering limited-time promotions or exclusive deals during the show to create urgency and boost sales.

What follow-up strategies can hosts use to convert guests into customers after the show?

Hosts should follow up with guests within a few days after the show, thanking them for attending and sharing highlights from the event. They can send personalized messages or emails with links to the products discussed. Additionally, offering a limited-time discount or special offer for those who didn't purchase at the show can encourage conversions.
