All-Guy Show: Tips for Keeping Their Attention

[Boomerjojo]

I am doing an ALL guys show. Any suggestions? I want to be able to keep their attention through the demostration.

Are they there because they love to cook, or are they shopping for other people?If they're there because they love to cook, a typical recipe demonstration will be fine. There's really no need to tweak anything. Our products cater to everyone.

They are shopping for themselves. They really don't cook alot. The main reason they are coming is to support me! I want them to have fun and buy lots!

I would do it just like a normal show but talk up things like the cookware and knives - which you should be doing at all shows.

This.

I have had guys at my shows and they really appreciate the quality and the design of the tools. Talk up the tech details of the cookware, knives, etc and it will go just fine.

I have to agree with the above posts. Everyone, male and female, needs the cookware and the knives as part of their regular kitchen products. You could throw out some ideas for gifts for the upcoming holidays, be it they are buying for male or female again. I truly believe anyone would appreciate a gift of the PC products!!

I would also talk about the BBQ items if they do bbq...plus do a cake in the rice cooker in the microwave....demonstrate that kids of all ages including themselves can make a cake and eat it too.

Chris is right! Quality, sharp stainless steel blades, and high grade Autograph 2 non-stick coating, full tang handles and a handle that just sits in the palm of your hand like it was made for you specifically. These are major buzz words and phrases with guys. The technical stuff as Chris said! I had a guy by two pink tomato knives for HWC. He loved that the handle had great balance, was shaped just right fro his hand and simply just felt "right" in his hand. The blade was awesomely sharp as he put it.

Say "The food chopper has a ratcheting mechanism inside, so 18 inches of stainless steel knives cut your food at one time - then again with a flick of your wrist!".
