$1 off for Each Order a Guest Brings

[ChefMary412]

I am going to try to attach something... never did it before! I loved the idea from Spring Launch about having guests bring in outside orders and then get $1 off for each one they bring in...
I am going to start using this idea right away!!

 

[cathyt]

Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

 

[pattikake]

I heard this at Hartford yesterday too and plan to start using it immediately!

 

[chefheidi2003]

I don't remember hearing it at ours..but I love that idea..I might have to try it

 

[janezapchef]

GREAT idea!

How do you advertise this? Do you just tell the host or do you put it on the invitations or what?

 

[chefannie]

I heart it at Hartford yesterday also and was planning on incorporating the idea also. Wish us all good luck!

 

[ChefMary412]

How do you advertise this? Do you just tell the host or do you put it on the invitations or what?

I plan on doing both... put it in with the invitations and tell the host about it, so she can promote it too. From what we heard in hartford.. it really helped boost sales for shows. The woman who spoke of it said she has show averages of over $1,000!!!.... Average!!!!

So excited about this! Thank you for sharing!

So....if someone brings in 5 outside orders and it totals over $150 (a show), what do they do? Once that person hears they can get host benefits...that $5 doesn't look that big to me...I'd rather have my benefits. Just wondering if they mentioned anything about that? Obviously, it could go in as a booking off the Host at the show they attended, as a booking benefit for HER...so a win-win maybe?Love the idea though!

 

[PamperedchefDaly]

I'm trying it too! I just got done printing a brunch flyer for February 28, and added that carrot to the flyer.

This is a great tip! I plan to have my host offer this as well with her reminder calls this evening!
Thanks!

This is from Frarell Y...oh darn I can not spell her name to save my life!!!! Or pronounce it for that matter. I have already started putting that on my invitations. Will let you know if it helps. I am also telling hosts. When I do post calls (or phone vite) I will add that on too!:sing:

Love the idea though!

Feriale said she actually had this happen... One guest brought in 17 orders. They totalled $700, she asked the guest if she wanted to use those orders to make her own show and she'd get the host benefits, she said "nope just add them to the show and I'll take my $17 off. She then went on to say that she did ask that guest if she wanted to learn more about the biz:thumbup:

So is a $1 off enough incentive for people to get outside orders. I am new to this but I was just curious has it worked really well for others. I understand it has worked for the lady who gave the idea but for everyday consultants has it been succesful

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Hmmm, this might be worth a try, just to cut down on some combining of orders. Often, for my shows, an outside "order" will be 3-4 people all ordering together. This is great until someone orders a DCB, and it breaks the first time they use it, but there isn't an order in their name. (yep - been dealing with that this week.:grumpy Maybe if the person collecting the orders has an incentive for the # of orders, it will stop some of that!

It works for Feriale and she has a $1000 show Average. Yes, average...

 

[JennLizFran]

Oooo....I didn't hear this at ours...great idea, Thanks for sharing!

 

[cochef]

Any suggestions how to incorporate this if you don't use the Mini's as invites?

 

[chef131doreen]

Feriale is awsome always coming up with GREAT ideas she is the #1 seller in the company if you are new 2.6 millon of something like that . I will see her Monday she is my upline , I'm sure she will love the flyer I show her !!!!

 

[Shannen]

Wow, that sounds like a great idea! I'll have to put that in place for my first spring show!

 

[Jen1409]

I'm going to have to try this!

I make a one page invite and send it with a mini catalog in an envelope but if you are using the post card invitations, you could print out stickers the size of the labels HO has for the guest special and put the offer on that too.

This is the flyer I made for a Sunday Brunch. It isn't original--I got it from CS but added my own flair to include the $1 for each outside order

Wow, so happy you shared this idea! It's a great incentive, and it'll benefit the host too! Love it!

Great point Becky! (This is one of my biggest peeves.)

 

[quiverfull7]

Oh.. I love this idea! THanks so much for sharing!

 

[Susan Ling]

sounds like a great idea would you be able to share a flyer that you include with the minis???

Thanks!

 

[FATKAT55]

This is the best idea I have heard in a long time. It was one thing I came away from Spring Launch knowing that I was going to implement it immediately. I made up a little flyer of my own for my Host Packets. Hopefully, it will work for us as well as it has for Feriale!!

when i have two people combining an order to split shipping, i still add the 2nd person as a customer, it just says $0.00 next to their name. when an adjustment needs to be made they show as a customer on the show. it doesn't show who bought what, just a list of all the items from that show. i've had do do adjustments twice on people who had combined shipping & no problems whatsoever.
