ChefBeckyD said:Yeah - but I have a whole lot less into my host folder!
2 Catalogs ($.90)
5 OOF
5 postcard invites
Folder ($.10 usually from Back to School sales)
Guest List sheet
Show Planner (free or minimal cost)
Cover Letter
50 Guests Flyer
Opportunity Brochure
Probably $2.00 total - and not many of them cancel.......if I mailed all of them, I would have the cost of the Host Folder PLUS the cost of mailing!
finley1991 said:PC offers an AMAZING host program!!!! DON'T OFFER INCENTIVES!!!! If the free product and host special isn't enough, they most likely won't book anyway. Offering incentives shows desperation. We work hard for our $$$$ so keep it!!!! Plus, once you start offering incentives, it's hard to stop because your customers expect it. Work with what PC offers. You will see the $$ come in.
And there is no requirement to mail the invitations. Consultants do this to cut down on their cancellations. Since I started sending the invites 3 years ago, I've had 2 shows cancel. But I knew they were cancelled at least 2 weeks prior because I didn't have a guest list. I wasn't stressing the day of the show "wondering" if it was going to happen. As a side note, hosts don't even get a host packet from me until I get their guest list. What's the point? No guest list... no show... no need for host packet. Plus, when they book, I want their focus to be ONLY on their guest list. Once that's done, we plan a great party for her.
One last thing in comparing other DS companies... I have a friend who sells a jewelry line... her minimum sales EACH MONTH to stay active is $1500. YIKES!
That is so me too Beth, making cc card payments, several weekender trips for me and DH or just myself and a family trip to Disneyland this year and misc. things then showing not a whole lot of income after taxesBethCooks4U said:On paper my business doesn't make much money either (I "made" less than $1000 last year after deductions of expenses) but I pay my car payment every month, bought a new computer, paid for several weekend trips away and vacation, of course, all business expenses, and other things.
Keep track of everything and you will probably see that you actually are contributing with your PC income.
Yes, it appears that multiple costs are increasing at the same time for Pampered Chef. These include website fees, catalog production costs, postage, door prizes, and conference expenses for the upcoming year.
It is difficult to determine an exact amount, as it will depend on various factors such as the size and frequency of orders, number of catalogs printed, and the location and duration of the conference. However, it is safe to say that these increases will have a significant impact on the overall cost of doing business for the next year.
While we do not have a specific breakdown of the cost increases at this time, our accounting team is working on analyzing the numbers and will provide a detailed report once it is available. We appreciate your patience in the meantime.
