What is express: Definition and 58 Discussions

Hi, has anyone done an Express show? From what I understand, the consultant arrives with a recipe already prepared, the guests get to eat and "play" with and shop for tools while socializing. What recipe is good for this?

Hello everyone. I finally have a taker for a lunch-time show at the office. Since it's my first one I need ideas on how to do it. I am bringing The Satay Pasta Salad and probably the Turtle Fudge Skillet cake. It's a HWC fundraiser so highlighting pink products as well. What items should I...

I was anxious to do a show for a new host of mine, and wanted to try an express show Friday after work. I offered to come early and help make all this stuff. Her party was huge, about 18 people there. She had a wish list of $350 and ended up getting it all for $87. At any rate, it was...

Anyone flying in Sunday around noonish to O'Hare that would like to split fare on an Airport Express shuttle?

I need some help with what to do at an after-work express show. The host and I are going to prepare the food ahead of time so the guests can come eat and shop. I'm open to any suggestions as this is my first express show, as to how what to do. What works for you?

Hi all, I've been asked to do an Express show for a hostess who's holding show in her church basement about 2 hours before church services start....... We need people in and out quickly and I live almost an hour from where show will be held. She's not sure if oven there in church hall...

I have an "express" show coming up ... I'm doing a microwave cake to save time. I was thinking of serving some kind of chips and dip and was toying with the idea of a dip that uses the spices I have. Problem is, only PC pantry items I have are the greek rub, southwest seasoning and smoky...

Hey cheffers!!! My ENT's office wants to see a catalog and when I was in there last week I had the new pinwheels with the sweet cinnamon and caramel sprinkles and they just loved them. So my thought was when I go there this week I wanted to do an express show (think that is what it is called)...

I have a host asking me to do an express show, wants a list of recipes to choose from that are "dinner type" or dessert type recipes. She wants the recipe pre-made in advance and I am only permitted to speak for 15 minutes, no more. I have some general ideas in mind for keeping to the 15...

Need your expertise... I'm weaving "express shows" into my schedule for the reason that my shows are too long. Thinking I'd made 1 recipe ahead perhaps combining with a simple dip like artichoke dip or making a margarita in the quick stir pitcher. I've made the chicken enchilada ring but this...

I had a customer pay using her American Express at my show on Friday. However, there are only 13 numbers on her card instead of the normal 16. I asked her about it when I was writing it down and she said that's how American Express does it. However, now that I'm entering her order PP is...

I have heard a lot about these and I'd like to do more of them. I love the thought of cutting down on my time to do shows and maybe I can do more this way! How does it work? I know you bring a recipe prepared. Do you have the host pay you back for the ingredients? And I've heard on here the...

This is my new flyer I am planning on passing to area businesses. Just wanted to share.

Has anyone signed up for the Success Express?

I have two express shows coming up and they are my first. I will be bringing the food already prepared and no demo. (people have seen too many demo's and believe that more people will come without one. Can any body give me some ideas on what to do to fill some time. Some Halloween themed...

Hey all! I am doing an express show in a week (making the recipe before everyone gets there). Any ideas for a quick recipe that's low on cost? I plan on doing as much prep as possible at home (I'm buying ingredients, then she's reimbersing me), then throwing it all together when I get...

I have an Open House coming up from 12-3, also a Lunch Express Demo is scheduled for 12:15-12:30 (to catch those 'gone to lunchers'). It will be held at our Ben Franklin store, it has a Coffee Shop in the back too. I could use the kitchen, but I really don't want to have to step away from...

I know we've talked about this before, but recently I have had more than one host request that we "just get on with it" and have an express show. Have you guys had experience with these and are they just as good as a demo show? I want to make sure I get my say in.... what do you guys think?

I am contemplating doing the express shows where you bring the food already prepared and then demo'ing some of the products with some fruits & veggies I bring along. My only concern is I think it would be a let down for some people who are used to seeing the whole show.... Have you done both...

I just heard about this at conference, anyone want to share how they do an express shoe?

A couple of weeks ago I saw a thread relating to a show that Tom Marston does - Express shows or something to that nature. Consultants were planning on attending this and were going to post some information on this but I can't seem to find this information - has anybody ever attending one of...

Hi! Does anyone have a sure-fire menu for an express lunch for businesses? Thanks!:)

My director gave me this idea, and I may use it at my show tomorrow... I NEED BOOKINGS! She told me to get paper plates, napkins, cups, and wrap it in clear celaphane... tell them that if they book an express show ( a show within a week or two ) I will supply the paper products and...

Does anyone know of a good game to play at an express show???

I recently heard about these types and shows and actually have someone intersted in doing one. Has anyone done an express show? What do you do? Is it kinda like an open house or....?

I am doing my first "Express Show" this Friday, and it is a first...Has anyone else done one of these before? And if so how do I go about it and get all the info out? ANY ideas or suggestions would be great! I am stil pretty new to PC.. Thanks so much for any help!!! :)

The recipe for Cheesy Mostaccioli calls for the discontinued 4-qt Baking Bowl. Will the Rectangle Baker be big enough to handle it all? Has anyone made it in this pan? :confused: I'm wanting to make this for an Italian express show I'm doing next week. Thanks in advance for the help. :D...

I have had many requests for a few more details in regards to my Express Show. The recipes that I do have not really changed much...I just prepare them at home and, if needs be, bake them at the hostesses house. There is less concern about product overlap, etc, because the demo is not...
