I'm having a Holiday Open house at my home next week and now that the invites are sent, I'm starting to panic. I'm planning to give my Past hosts the benefits from the show if they bring $100 in outside orders, they qualify for the benefits drawing. And I have ordered a bunch of little doorprizes to give as "gift with purchases". I'm posting my "Past Host" invite, which holds the mini catalog and the invite and the postcard I created to send to all my customers.
My question is this, what's your show average for an Open house like this? Any open house? Should I be expecting alot of people? What if no one shows? I'm starting to panic. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I want this to be a good start to my holiday shows and I'm afraid it's going to be a dud!:eek:

When she sent out the evite she promoted it as a "Holiday Shopping Extravaganza featuring Pampered Chef and Silpada". I talked to someone in my cluster who has done something similar and she suggested not doing a full recipe demo but some dips and drinks, so I am going to do chocolate martinis, an apple caramel dip, and maybe one other easy dip.

Has anybody else ever done anything like this, and do you have any suggestions? I think the Silpada lady usually gives away a pair of earrings for her door prize so I think I may have to do something a little more expensive than I usually do - maybe a basket with several small things together.

I think this should be fun but it's going to throw off my usual routine of my presentation so any ideas would be welcome! ]]> Theme Shows erinhoward http://www.chefsuccess.com/f6/holiday-shopping-show-pc-silpada-57431/ Need ideas for make ahead recipes for tasting show http://www.chefsuccess.com/f6/need-ideas-make-ahead-recipes-tasting-show-57423/ Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:12:19 GMT I have a Tasting Show at an elementary school next Tuesday at 3 p.m. There isn't facilities to cook so she has asked if I can bring some things to sample. I am thinking the Sweet Sprinkles in cream cheese and the Oil Dipping Seasoning made into a dip (what do I mix this with). I also wanted to do a "WOW" recipe in either the Trifle Bowl or the DCB (maybe the new Autumn Apple Cherry Crisp). I would appreciate any ideas. With SAT, I want as big a show as possible!

I am doing a fundraiser party tomorrow night at my church. It is in a small cafeteria with 10 tables that I cannot move around too much.
I already know this room is hard to navigate once people sit down and stop mingling. I am doing a short demo, some raffles and door prizes. While I want their attention for the demo, and I want to talk about my favorite products, I do not want to take too much time.
I am trying to put together a Pampered Chef Trivia game, so everyone will be encouraged to try the products themselves, and learn some fun PC facts aside from the obvious. (everyone would get a sheet and they would stamp it as they complete each station.) But I am stuck, and it seems too boring, so I am calling on my trusty buddies for help.
Here is what I have so far....

Did you…
Try the….
 Garlic slicer? ____
 The Ultimate Mandolin? ____
 Food Chopper? _____
 Easy Accent Decorator? _____
 Forged Cutlery? _____
 Quick Stir Pitcher? _____
 Micro-plane grater? _____
 Make an “uncrustable”? ____

Do you know which tool would be best for getting every last drop of dressing out of the bottle?
Which tool can be used to stuff a turkey?
How long is the Stoneware warranty period?
What does the “Round Up from the Heart” Program benefit?
How much does it cost to start your own Pampered Chef business?
Which tool is great for filling creampuffs?
How long has Lauri been with The Pampered Chef?
How many red dots are on the Oval Platter?
What is the host special this month?


Any comments are appreciated.

I have never posted here but visit every day. Love the ideas and feedback. Was wondering if anyone could help me. The men in my family want to have a "Men Only" cooking show. They talked it up amongst there friends and looks like we will have a really nice group. I must say I was surprised. While I am all for the idea of doing this, I have no ideas. I am coming up blank. Has anyone done a show for the men? I would also like to know what recipes would you use.

Today I met with another member of my networking group. We basically just set up an appointment to get to know one another better. He runs an insurance agency.

Toward the end of our meeting he asked me about doing something special for his team. Here's what we've set up. During the first week of December I'll go to his house to do a show. He will invite the 6 members of his team (all women) and give them $50 each with which to purchase anything they like. His wife will be there, along with his MIL, and possibly a couple of neighbors.

We have the date and time set. He's leaving town tomorrow, but I'll be contacting him. I'm going to offer him personalized gift certificates and catalogs to hand to his team when he invites them.


I'm telling you, networking is a wonderful thing. The idea is not to go into it thinking that you'll do business with everyone there. It's to see how you can help others by telling the people you know about the network members and what they do. Of course, you also need to be able to concisely explain what you do and who you're looking for right now. ]]> Theme Shows raebates http://www.chefsuccess.com/f6/interesting-new-opportunity-56908/ Suggestions http://www.chefsuccess.com/f6/suggestions-56892/ Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:46:30 GMT Hi everyone,

I'm doing a Mystery Hostess Show at my home this weekend. I kind of wanted it to have a Halloween flair but I want to showcase the Fall/Winter products. I wanted to have some food/recipes already prepared and maybe do a quick demo in the DCB when everyone first gets there. I've never done one of these before and am not sure how to really run this--do you recommend I do it like a regular party or should I have most everything ready and set out and let people come and look and eat and order. I'm planning to give tickets for RSVPing, ordering, booking a show, bringing a friend, signing up! I suppose we'll do the drawing the end for the FREE products and things. Also, which recipes would you recommend that I have set out/already prepared. I thought about doing the whole chicken in the DCB for the demo. If you have any ideas or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!:) ]]> Theme Shows ChefLAM http://www.chefsuccess.com/f6/suggestions-56892/
