After Christmas Sale: Free Shipping & Daily Specials | Pampered Chef"

[pcchefjane]

Is anyone else doing one? I am only about $275 away from $1,500 so I decided to send out an email to all my customers, potential customers I have met at booths, and former Hosts. I am putting it below so you can see it and use it if you like! It was only in my email so I don't have a "Word document" for it. Good luck if you decide to do this! I want $1,500 and after reading some people's comments on here, I am NOT giving up until 12 midnight on December 31st! I emailed this out on Monday! The link to the "Random Number Generator is: Custom Random Number Generator. This is great for these kind of drawings since you won't have a clue who has what number. I do an Excel spreadsheet to put on the names by the numbers, then put in the "first number" and "last number" and it gives me the Winner!

Bumping up in case someone needs the idea!

Also you don't need a random number generator if you are using excel. It has the function built-in.Just do:=RANDBETWEEN(1,100) or however many customers you have.

I didn't know excel did that! sweet!

I didn't know excel did that! sweet!

Excel does A TON of stuff people don't realize (except the Mac version...it's a little lacking...)

I've done simulations in Excel even. It's quite a powerful tool. There are also lots of analysis add-ons you can get.

i keep asking my boss to pay for a class at the college to learn more about it, we use it sooo much at work. I can do a lot, but i wish i could do more, and be more efficient when I do.

janet, i'm in love with you! you have a link for everything! if he wont pay for me to go to class, maybe he will let me take the courses at work, i'm in a slow time right now anyways!

 

[pcchefjane]

Thanks Janet! I didn't realize that either.... I may get industrious enough to try that! It's off to bed for me... Gotta head into Chattanooga tomorrow morning to pick up our Honey Baked Ham and it will be NUTS!

I am a new Consultant and still reaching my $1250 goal to become Active. I'm curious as to how you can offer free shipping and other free items? Is there a way to set this type of After Christmas Sale up in PC3? Thank you! Any of your expert knowledge is very much appreciated!

Tina

 

[pamperedlinda]

Tina, when those types of things are offered it is a special that the consultant is running. The consultant will pay for the difference.

 

[pcchefjane]

You just put it in under the Payment tab as Consultant gift. I put several orders under one name as well to cut down on shipping. You can order any of the items you "give" up under the Host's order for the discount. I have also bought the Season's Best on my Supply order 10/$6 and the older ones 10/2.25 so I am already expensing them. I also order things along on Show orders placed with "extra orders" that I accumulate from booths, etc. that are not part of the Host's outside orders to get more free product. As far as the Julienne Peeler, one of my Show orders was supposed to have 5; they sent 7 and when I called in, HO said to keep them! I paid nothing for them so I am giving one away!BTW, I have only had one order so far for $32! I am so frustrated! If I can get $150 (or close to it), I will move it to January 1st and make it my Show from January 1-8th to get my Planner Binder free!

I did something very similar and have not received one order. I spent a good 4 hours on the phone yesterday trying to get orders or bookings and got nothing I didn't get anything from my Black Friday sale either. I can't seem to get a sale at all, and I haven't had a party since the 6th of December and don't have one until the 7th of January. I am feeling lost right about now LOL

 

[caraighan]

Hi, all,
I was thinking of doing something similar to this for a "New Year's Sale". I'm reading that you haven't had good luck on this...
I'm begining to think it's not worth a try!!!

 

[ivykeep]

I tried a phone show yesterday -- made over 100 phone calls and sent emails to everyone of my contacts -- and got 1 order for a cheese grater (and three people ask to be removed from the contact list)Too close to Christmas and people aren't ready to loosen up their purse strings yet I guess.

 

[caraighan]

I just now sent out my New Year's sale email. I will just have to see how it goes!!!

 

[pcchefjane]

I only ended up with one order for $32! I hate to submit it as an individual order though since I offered "free shipping" and I will have to pay it for her! I'll have to see what the next week brings. I do think with all the layoffs locally, no one had any money left! At least I got the free product for December with the 3 Shows I turned in. Sure will miss a commission deposit on the 8th though since I got used to them in November and December!
