chefann said:It depends on how desparate I am for bookings. If I offer one, I tell people that they'll get it on their show.
A cluster-mate seems to ALWAYS be offering a million "carrots" to get bookings. That makes it harder to stop offering them, because hosts will point out that "she got something extra!" And they do add up, monetarily.
Our host program is so great, that I don't usually feel the need to offer something unless I've got big empty places on my calendar...

I just had a cancellation for next Thursday and really want to keep my February calendar full so I called up a customer who I knew was interested in stoneware and offered them one stone for free if they could fill that date for me. She took me up on it and is going to make some calls tonight to get her party started.

I did "24 Bookings in 24 Hours" and got 7 cooking shows and 3 catalog. I offered a $100 shopping spree as long as they kept the original show date. For every $100 in orders their name was entered. That I felt was quite successful. I have 6 cooking shows for February and 1 catalog show which most of the bookings came from my December shows. I am having an open house for my nieghbors next month (I never informed them that I am a Pampered Chef) and plan to hand out 150 invites. I am a third of the way there! It will of course be a Mystery Host. I nope this helps!

Personalized incentives are special offers or rewards that are tailored to individual customers based on their preferences and needs. They can boost your bookings by making your customers feel valued and motivated to make a purchase. By offering unique and personalized incentives, you can attract more customers and increase your bookings.
To come up with personalized incentives, you can start by understanding your target audience and their interests. You can then brainstorm different ideas that align with your brand and appeal to your customers. Some examples of personalized incentives include exclusive discounts, free gifts, or personalized product recommendations.
Yes, personalized incentives can be used for both new and existing customers. For new customers, personalized incentives can be used to attract them to make a purchase and become loyal customers. For existing customers, personalized incentives can be used to show appreciation and encourage repeat purchases.
One way to track the effectiveness of personalized incentives is by setting specific goals and measuring the results. For example, if your goal is to increase bookings by 20%, you can track the number of bookings before and after implementing personalized incentives. You can also collect feedback from customers to see if they were motivated by the incentives.
Some best practices for using personalized incentives include offering a variety of incentives to cater to different customer preferences, setting clear and achievable goals, and regularly evaluating and adjusting your incentives based on customer feedback and results. It is also important to communicate the incentives effectively to your customers through various channels such as email, social media, and your website.
