I'm at a crossroads. My business has always been up and down. I know most of that is due to my (lack) of effort at times. I am OK with that. I hate to bug family and friends about having parties and such. This fall has been hard. I usually do vendor events to keep my business afloat...

My sister has host several parties for me and has agreed to host one next month to help me out. I want to offer something different for her since she's hosted so many parties for me. I'm trying to think outside the box an thought I would see what ideas everybody else has.

The November Special is so awesome and of course it will be SAT month. Trying to think of a way to market catty shows... collect or place $150 in orders and pick anything you want at 60% off....thoughts?

I'm thinking about doing something different for a booth I have on Saturday. A Relay for Life team is doing a fundraiser at a fire station. I'm considering bringing a bag of potatoes and enough ingredients to make 2 batches of Mango Salsa. The booth is from 8-2pm. I could even tell people...

I've never done one of these before but I've read lots of threads over the past couple years about them and I've always wanted to try one. I'm thinking of trying to gather a few orders just to submit a show to be active this month. (I have 2 shows for Feb and 3 for March, but I hate to be...

I have someone who's interested in a PC party this month but I've cut back to catalog shows only as I'm getting closer to my Due date and starting to be restricted on activites. I'm seeing if she's interested in a catalog show. If not I do know another consultant that lives in her town...not...

I seriously don't know what else I can do to break out of this circle I'm in. I've tried booths, sales, promotions, individual orders, boutiques, Pamper Your Business flyers, I bought the car decals, I carry a tote with PC all over it, I have hundreds of business cards circulating, I've...

Hubby and I just found out we're expecting our first baby this summer (YAY!!!) and I am so excited! But I am also a little overwhelmed... I currently work at a full-time job that keeps me incredibly busy and exhausted by the end of the day. I am already feeling a lot of stress trying to do well...

OK, so I was thinking about doing a HWC fundraiser. Am I mistaken: Even for a HWC fundraiser the guests can't order the HWC products? This seems a little crazy and counter-productive.

I was thinking about this earlier as I was posting about possibly earning the trip to Toronto: Who else is happy and excited to work for this wonderful company we work for? I know we are techinically self employed but PC offers us so much that, that the statement "You are in business for...

I have an opportunity to do a fundraiser for my local AYSO organization. I've been the fundraiser coordinator for the past 4 years and we've always done a cookie dough fundraiser. This year we have a new RC and he wants to change it up a bit. I was thinking of doing a CookBook Fundraiser, but...

The other day I attended a friend's show who is a DS with another company. I was really intrigued by the way she did her show. It was an auction type show. She starts out by sending the invites to the guest with a flyer on how to earn money (fake paper money) like go to my website, bring an...

I know we are only in March, but I have a good friend who has hosted many parties for me. Actually she was my 1st cooking show over a year ago and thanks to her I have had many. She just was at a cooking show I did on Sunday and wants to book another one. But wants to wait until the executive...

I was thinking about offering samples of our sauces at my upcoming shows. Just in the prep bowls or the small snack bowls with pretzels on the side. With the new sauces that brings it up to 6. Has anyone tried this yet? Has it been worth it?

Do you keep Pampered Chef in mind when deciding which snacks to make for Superbowl parties?

Being that I am still a newbie and trying to grow my business I was wondering if you have some suggestions for how to find fairs to do after Christmas. I live in Florida and so any ideas you might have to find some things to keep getting my name out there would be great and appreciated...

I REALLY REALLY want to join PC again (I just went permanently inactive Oct 1), but I've got to come up with a way to convince my husband that it's a good idea. We've just purchased a new house & are in the process of remodeling. We don't have many kitchen gadgets yet (just what I had in my PC...

What do you guys put on your lapboards? I was thinking putting different flyers in each is a great idea and maybe have the guest tell whats on the back of his/hers to get some interaction going at shows.

so I am thinking about having a black friday sale and a sale taht whole weekend after thanksgiving. anyone else ever do one of these? if so was it a big hit? i will be offering free shipping and 15% if they order friday, and 10% off if they order that saturday or sunday...any suggestions???

Do you think it would help people to become more familiar with retrieving, editing and forwarding newsletters? Maybe a separate one for iContact help? I'm looking at these services that are free conference call (it would be a long distance call for the caller, but so many people have free long...

It is 11 pm and I am trying to be a good host for my demonstrator. (I'm having a Stampin Up party) So I'm filling out invites and applying postage... I guess I must really want to buy new stamps because I just got done applying extra postage to my usual stamps. I'm sending post cards! :eek: It...

Background: I qualified this afternoon for a contest won by the local radio station. Entries are accepted by email and then chosen and read on air 4 times a day. Contestant has 9 minutes and 71 seconds (call number for radio station) to call in to qualify. Also once a day they have a...

Don't you all think there is truth to the power of positive thinking? I noticed a lot of grumbling on CS today and people just grumpy about the logo wear challenge and the new policies. Like people saying they weren't even going to bother to try to find leads because it's pointless, etc...

Ok so I really have a baby itch right now, and have for awhile. I am blessed with two beautiful girls 10 and 5. Right now I really think I want to but I am also thinking that my girls are easy right now. My husband on the other hand really doesn't think he want anymore I am working on him...

:chef: For years, I've used and loved Pampered Chef products. I hosted a show at the end of September, and with 11 attendees, accumulated over $1,200 in orders, and had four people book PC parties off of my show. My success for this one party has me thinking that this is something that I...

My hubby and I have talked about getting a dog for a while now. We have 2 little girls aged 2 and 3 1/2. I really like shitzu puppies. My mom had a lady at work today whose shitzu just had 3 boy and 3 girl pups. They will be free to a good home in about 5 weeks. Does anyone have personal...

I have attended my current church for more than a decade. There are many things I love about it, but my frustrations are growing. They include (but are not limited to:) * The fact that many of my friends have left or have been asked to leave, depending on who you talk to and/or whose side...

Okay, I think those of you who have seen my posts (Or know me) know that I'm just staying active until I get through school (which ends in March - YAY) but I am trying to do 1-2 shows each month. Anyhow, I have also been keeping my finger in the pie and right now I volunteer for the Greater...

They have the Holiday Spreader on Stop Sell, yet they are advertising it as a December Host & Guest Special? Does that not seem a little strange??? ETA: Disregard! Pregnancy brain took over & I was thinking the beaded spreader was on stop sell. Oops!
