Maximizing Income: Baby Shower vs. Registry

[Jenni]

In your past experience which one makes you more money? I have my first reg but was thinking about asking her if she was interested in doing a shower as well.

Even when I have had registries, I have had very little activity on them.

For Showers - my avg. is around $800, and I usually get bookings too!

Registries are okay - but if I had to choose, I would do Showers any day!

Plus - it's really easy to build a relationship with the bride/mother of the bride/shower-giver, but registries are harder.

Jenni - there is all kinds of good info on here about Bridal Showers. I love doing them! They are a lot of fun - and the bride is always overwhelmed by the amount of free stuff they can get on top of what people have purchased for them. It's very rewarding for them, and for you!

Hi there! In my past experience, hosting a shower as well as a cooking demonstration has definitely brought in more income for me as a Pampered Chef consultant. Not only do you have the opportunity to make sales during the event, but you also have the potential for future bookings and referrals from guests. Plus, hosting a shower adds a fun and social aspect to the event that can attract more guests and lead to higher sales. I highly recommend considering asking your first reg if she would be interested in hosting a shower as well. Best of luck with your events!
