Want to Earn Free Cookware? Here's How!

In summary, PC Chris and I had lunch today and we discussed ways to earn new cookwear. We came up with the idea of offering 10% off the cookware that's being used in a demo for that night only. NikkiWOW! this could get expensive, but if it's coming out of your pocket it's not really a cost. Jaime, if you're earning 20% on the cookware, and you give them a 10% discount, it's not really coming out of your pocket.....just less going into your pocket. Sounds good if you can afford to offer the percentage off.

PC Chris and I had lunch today :D After we were done dissecting and critiquing the new catalog we were brain storming on how to earn new cook-wear. I know that the only way that I am going to get the 5 piece executive line is if I earn it for free :eek: (Darn salesperson that sold my DH his ss set said he would never need another set and now he doesn't want another one. So until I graduate from college and get a job I can not pay for a new set. This was before I met him.)

For my September shows I am planning on making panini (Grill Pan and Press) and Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake (12" Skillet). Soooooo I was thinking what about offering 10% off the cookware that you are using in your demo for that night only??

I know that I have sold a couple of grill pans and press's to customers when making the panini's, what is your opinion of the 10% off?? Is anyone offering any other incentives to earn cookware??

WOW! Nikki! Whata great idea!!! tee hee...
 
That could get expensive couldn't it.... if it's coming out of your pocket.
 
Jaime, if you're earning 20% on the cookware, and you give them a 10% discount, it's not really coming out of your pocket.....just less going into your pocket.
 
Sounds good if you can afford to offer the percentage off. Every one loves a discount!!!

I am just going to talk cookware like crazy and have booked Sept as much as possible. I know for me I will sale more cookware by doing it through the host special b/c I have only sold a few pieces in the little over a year that I have been selling.

I am going to from now own talk more about cookware even if I do not demo it. Cookware has always been one of those things I "touch" on but I do not stress them and I am going to workon changing that from now on.

Depends on how much you can afford to come out of pocket. I'd rather make a reduced percentage on a sale that no sale at all.
 
I don't know if this helps at all or not but I am going to offer a free chef's tool with each peice of cookware purchased and 2 with the purchase of any cookware set. Then if it is the host you can add it to her order and get her discount off of it. Just an idea.
 
How about the idea of selling the 12" skillet as the try me piece? Then have them try it for 3 weeks and if they don't like it then they can return it free of charge. They call you, you call HO. Most likely it won't happen though, as we all know they will fall in love with it and want more!!!

If they buy a $100 piece of cookware at 10% off you are giving them $10. If you give them a chef's tool you are giving them $12.

If they buy the 8" saute pan for $38, at 10% off you are paying $3.80 VS giving them a $12 tool.

I did think of that but I am only offering for a limited time and I don't normally do my own incentives as I feel that the company always has great ones. I have found that people love free stuff a lot more than discounted items. Plus if it is your host you can add it to her order and get her discount on it.

I have only sold 1 piece of cookware....so my goal is to sell the "crap" out of cookware in the next few months! I really would like to add a few pieces to my set.

I agree Linda. If you can upsell a customer to cookwear that is an even added bonus!

Everyone loves FREE stuff! I woulld put it on the host order so that you ger their discount, then our comission.
so 12 @ 20% off is 9.6 @ 20% comm = 7.68

Then just make sure to give the host a list of who gets what.

I also like the idea of the try me piece....so many options!
