Has anyone made an OOF for October? I was trying to make up October Host packets and thought I would include those, or is everyone else just using the 3-ply?
 
I just log into CC and use the ones provided there for outside orders and catalog shows.

Oh yeah, I forget about that - I just had someone waiting for their packet and I got in a hurry! Thanks.
 
Does anyone have an outside order for the HWC items?? I saw TT's. Beautiful, but not what I was thinking for a large order. I was thinking more along the line of one order form for all of them, and then just submitting one large order at the end and offering free shipping?
 
Did you find the October one? Don't have a HWC one yet...

Frequently Asked Questions

What are OOFs and 3-Ply in the context of October Host Packets?

OOFs (Order of Fun) and 3-Ply refer to different types of materials used in creating host packets for Pampered Chef parties. OOFs are typically single-page flyers that highlight promotions and products, while 3-Ply refers to multi-layered packets that include additional information, recipes, and tips for hosts to engage their guests effectively.

Which option is better for October Host Packets, OOFs or 3-Ply?

The choice between OOFs and 3-Ply depends on your hosting strategy. OOFs are great for quick, engaging information, while 3-Ply offers a more comprehensive approach with detailed content. If your hosts prefer a more thorough packet, 3-Ply may be the better choice, especially for October when holiday planning begins.

How can I customize my October Host Packets?

You can customize your October Host Packets by adding personal touches such as handwritten notes, tailored recipes, or specific product recommendations based on the host's preferences. Additionally, consider including seasonal themes or promotions relevant to October to make the packets more appealing.

What should I include in my October Host Packets?

Your October Host Packets should include essential materials such as a host guide, product catalogs, order forms, and any promotional flyers. You might also want to add recipes that feature fall ingredients, tips for hosting successful parties, and information on any special October promotions from Pampered Chef.

How do I decide the quantity of OOFs or 3-Ply to prepare?

The quantity of OOFs or 3-Ply to prepare should be based on your upcoming parties and the number of hosts you anticipate. A good rule of thumb is to prepare enough packets for each host, plus a few extras for potential last-minute bookings or inquiries. This ensures you are always ready to provide materials to interested hosts.
