How Can I Overcome My Fear of Not Using DCB at Shows?

[msmileyface]

Ok, so I know this is a silly way to feel, but I am actually afraid to go from using DCB (and sometimes the large bar pan) primarily at my shows.

However.. I am inspired by the new products and the idea that I can just take my one big tote, with 12 items, to do some of the shows suggested in the changeover kit!

The thing is, I am so used to doing DCB shows and bringing most of my products because I feel people like to look at the ones I am not using, too..

Can someone help me overcome my fear of not using the DCB or bar pan?? lol. I always feature these. And I REALLY want to lighten my load and not take forever getting out of the show because it took me an hour to pack up.

Find out if your host has the dcb or bar pan and use hers at the show!

good tip, however my main fear is just not using them.. i.e. doing a light spring recipe that doesn't use them and then i'm afraid i won't have great sales. it's just a "change" thing, and I'm not good at it

Change is good, work slowly start by leaving home a few items and work up to the 12 items. AS you are working towards is use your catalog more at shows that is going to help with the sales.

Hi there! I completely understand your hesitation to switch up your show routine. It can be scary to step out of our comfort zones, especially when we have been successful with a certain method. However, I have found that embracing new products and techniques can often lead to even more success and growth in our businesses. I suggest starting small and incorporating one or two new products into your shows at first. This way, you can still feature your beloved DCB and bar pan, but also showcase the versatility and convenience of the new products. As you become more comfortable and confident with these new items, you can gradually incorporate them more into your shows. Also, keep in mind that change can be a good thing and can bring excitement and interest to your shows. Your customers may appreciate seeing something new and different, and it can also attract new customers who may be interested in these new products. I encourage you to give it a try and see how it goes. I have no doubt that you will continue to be successful and may even find that you enjoy using these new products just as much as your DCB and bar pan. Best of luck!
