What kind of incentive? What if you have more than one person book off the party? Do you give the host 3 different incentives or one big one?DebbieJ said:I don't play booking games, but will give the host an incentive like Jen mentioned. Other than that, I ask everyone.

I love this idea! I am going to try it at my next show. I don't have any shows after February so hopefully this will help!jenm42 said:I have had some luck with one game that I play with the host - but I don't know if it's what you are looking for, since it's not directly involving the guests.
When I arrive at the show early to set up, I will ask the host about the guests that are coming, and we'll talk for a moment or two about that. Then I will tell her to think about of who is coming - WITHOUT TELLING ME - which two of them is MOST LIKELY to book a show tonight. You know, the people who *always* have a show, or whatever. I have her write the two names down on a paper, seal it in an envelope (which I provide), and then put it on top of the fridge or someplace else out of sight.
I tell her that when those TWO people book shows tonight, SHE will receive a FREE bar pan (or some other incentive I know she's be excited about based on her wish list that I've gotten previously...)
I don't mention it to the guests. I just go on my merry way and ask each person at checkout about whether they want to host a show, and I let the host know as we proceed who has booked and remind her of the incentive we talked about earlier. It usually ends up that she comes over when I have one of the two people at the checkout table, saying they aren't interested in hosting right now, and she starts pleading - "...But you ALWAYS have a show! I've been to three at your house already!! Oh, come on, it would be fun... we could make..." etc. The host usually is pretty persuasive with her own friends, and the show gets booked.
I don't ALWAYS do this... because my schedule is usually pretty full. But, when I need bookings, I've found that it works, and I've heard that other people find it works as well. I heard it on a CD once, but I don't remember which one.
Hope this helps in some way. I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but I don't find that guests like to "WIN" a show.
Sometimes I do offer a booking prize when I play other games though... like a coupon - "YOU CHOOSE - FREE Quickut Paring Knife tonight, OR $25 in ADDITIONAL FREE PRODUCTS when YOU host a show!" That way they can win either way, even if they really don't want to/can't have a show.

pregochef said:So, if they book a show, they get to open their "briefcase" and keep the prize? That's such a good idea! Did you make the stickers or buy them?
Also, you mentioned having to have duplicate items because of the lack of items under $10 for spring/summer, why don't you offer "$5 extra product credit" on one, and maybe an "$8 in extra product credit" for another?
pchefdebber said:ok, maybe I am being an idiot, but, what if they take the no deal? Do they just not get anything?? Maybe i should watch the show!! Thanks!!

I'm not a fan of booking games. It seems pushy to be to be honest.
Bren706 said:At our cluster meeting last week, one of the director's did a "Live" cooking show demo, with her interactive format. She plays "Pampered Chef Poker" throughout the demo. She plays with 2 decks of cards. (Regular playing cards) Each time a guest asks a question about the recipe, the product, hosting, the business, or they volunteer to "demo" a tool, they get a card. Toward the end of her show, she does a bonus round, which is for a set amount of time, they can ask questions about the opportunity only, to get 2 cards per question (or is it 5? I can't remember). At the end of the game, Points are given for each card, at face value, and the person with the highest score wins. There are 4 joker cards in the deck. The person(s) holding the jokers wins a "Free" cooking show.
She says she gets two to three bookings at each show.
A booking game is a fun and creative way to encourage guests to host a Pampered Chef party. It is important because it helps you to secure more bookings and grow your business.
Some popular booking games include "Recipe Roulette," "Bingo," and "Mystery Host." Each game has its own unique rules and incentives to entice guests to book a party.
You can introduce a booking game at the beginning of your party by explaining the rules and the prizes. You can also mention the game throughout the party and remind guests to book their own parties before the game ends.
Yes, you can customize a booking game to fit your guests' preferences and interests. For example, if your guests are interested in healthy cooking, you could create a booking game that focuses on booking parties centered around healthy eating.
You can keep track of the bookings from a booking game by creating a spreadsheet or using the "My Party" feature on the Pampered Chef website. This will help you stay organized and keep track of which guests have booked parties.
