Spring Open House

mminikus · 02-14-2006, 08:26 AM

Hi everyone!
I am going to do an Open house at my home to introduce all the new spring products. I was wondering if anyone has any good ideas on how to really get the people to come? I did one in the fall and my turnout could have been better, all though I did get 1 booking off of it, which was awesome.

Thanks!

I am doing mine next Saturday on the 25th. I am calling mine a customer appreciation show. I have all the new products so they will be out on display, and I will demo with some. I am going to raffle off host benefits, they get 2 tickets for showing up and extra if they were on time. They get a ticket for each outside order they bring or friend. They get a ticket if they place an order, 3 tickets if they book a party. I will demo one recipe to make it short and sweet. I am going to use scotts idea with the warm towels and our soap to demo that to pamper them because after all they are my best customers.
I am still working on other details, I will let you know!!

Hi Amanda,
I am looking to do my Kick Off Party as my show got cancelled Sunday with the storm we had.....
THESE ARE GREAT IDEAS....hope you don't mind if I steal them

That is a great idea.

I will actually pull street listings and names of my neighborhood and inivite everyone over to meet the "NEW PC Consultant on the block"......

What do you normally raffle off? I'm new to all this....

Thanks for all your help and ideas.

and Product preview for the new products I have! will have raffles (with extra product on hand) games with door prizes, offer my past hosts the new SBCB for attending, recipe cards for the rest, new recipes and hopefully have some interested people!

I want to do a Open House but i'm scared no one will show up...if I just hand out flyers to neighbours.

Does anyone have a flyer they used for their open house?

I was thinking about using the new mini catalogs as the invite, and making up a small insert to staple on the inside page to tell about the Open House. That way I thought they could see the new product and have a reason to want to come. I did this with my fall open house, but I didn't put any incentives to come in the small flyer, such as prizes, which is where I think I went wrong.

Hey everyone! Here's the only I'm using for my Spring Mystery Host show! I print them on card stock and then cut in half! I print the first page on the front and the second on the back!
