I would love some suggestions, and or 'show' layout on an open house. I don't plan on doing a demo, but want to be able to show the products. I was thinking let everyone try to use some of the products... Ideas??

Thanks,
Emma
 
I love doing Open Houses. Since they are at my home I can st up the day before and spread over a large area. I display alot of products. A lot more Simple Additions, Stoneware, and cookware than I could ever take to a show.
I try and make my displays very attractive and decorative. I usually don't do a demo but have 4-5 dishes for them to sample. I put a lot of work in them but I think it pays off.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I prepare before the open house?

Before the open house, ensure you have all necessary materials ready, including product samples, catalogs, order forms, and any promotional materials. Set up a welcoming space with a clear display of products, and consider preparing a simple recipe using Pampered Chef tools to showcase their functionality.

How can I attract guests to my open house?

To attract guests, promote your open house through social media, email invitations, and word of mouth. Consider offering incentives like a raffle for attendees or discounts on orders placed during the event. Make sure to create an inviting atmosphere that encourages people to stop by and explore.

What activities can I include to engage attendees?

Engage attendees by hosting a cooking demonstration or hands-on activities where they can try out the products. You can also organize a mini cooking class or a taste-testing session featuring recipes made with Pampered Chef products. This interactive approach helps guests experience the products firsthand.

How do I handle questions about products during the open house?

Be prepared to answer questions by familiarizing yourself with the products you’ll be showcasing. If you don’t know the answer to a question, it’s okay to admit it and offer to follow up later. Encourage guests to ask questions and share their experiences, creating an open dialogue about the products.

What follow-up actions should I take after the open house?

After the open house, follow up with attendees by sending thank-you notes or emails. Include a summary of the products discussed and any special offers available. This is also a great time to ask for feedback and encourage them to place orders or host their own parties.
