I had something similar to this in America, but couldn't find it, so I took a couple off here and combined them. I had great results with the 'scale of 1-10', because I had many bookings from a '2' on the scale, and people told me they would have checked No (or the equivalent) on the regular slip. This way I say "I see you have some interest in holding a party, what's keeping you from being more enthusiastic?" then work through their problem. :)

Looks really good! I like the whole "1-10" scale. It gives us more of a chance to find out why they aren't enthusiastic and to change it instead of just getting a yes or no.
 
These are good! I know a director (not mine) that uses the 1-10 scale. She tells everyone that they can not be a 5....so you don't have those middle of the roaders...lol. It is much easier to see what they are really feeling - than just a yes or a no.

I think I'll use these for my show tomorrow night! Thanks!
 
I also tweeked them a bit to ask for the 'big fish' first. Basically these are using the 4 Pile system. You want to ask for the recruit first, then a booking and then a recipe. They're bound to say yes to something! ;)

Great job on these!! This is something I've been meaning to do for a while!
 
I found one in the archives that I really like. It is really light-hearted and fun. Not sure who created it, but thank you.

Thanks guys. These both have great ideas. I think I'll be incorporating them into my own drawing slip.
 
I use the fun drawing slip but changed not on your life to no thanks, I'd rather pay full price. I get a lot of laughs about that one and get more I'll think about it checks. I guess it makes them realize that when they refuse to host, they are refusing free and discounted products
 
i made these to put with the catalogs, then will use them for the prize drawing. I know that it doesn't ask their interest, but I plan on asking everyone as they order. What do you all think?

Those are all very cute ideas.... I add one thing to my door prize drawing, I asked my guest to put their birthdays on them, I told them they do not have to put the year they were born in just the month and day, and then on their birthday they would get a little gift from me. :) I got the idea from my Marykay lady !!
 
Here is the one I currently use - but I like the fun one too!

I love this one!! Thanks!
 
I posted the "Fun" one. I did not create it though. I have tweaked it a bit because a lot of people were put off by "Not on your life" and a few of the others.

I was using the 10 point scale, but changed it because I hate using that scale myself. Here is how I've changed it.

So what do you send them? I was thinking a $5 product credit with you or a $25 product credit if they book a show (to be redeemed with their show's order). What do you think?
 
My director sent me this one. I like that it asks which products they like best. When I get home I file them according to their favorite item such as "Simple Additions," "Stoneware", "Cookware", etc. Then when a host special or guest special comes up that applies, I have them all in that file. I might put old order forms in there if they have ordered from a collection from me before as well. It gives me more leads throughout the year!

Well when I do a supply order through pampered partner I buy little sample things, ie the rosemary and lemon soap, or the spactuals little things like that, and I give it to them on their birthday, I haven't thought about doing a f$5.00 product credit. The only reason I personaly wouldnt do it is becasue of all the benefits they get from being a hostess.

I thought that maybe they may not have a show booked around their birthday, so if you offer them $5 credit, OR $20-25 credit if they hold a show, it may inspire them to have a Pampered Birthday Party!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are prize drawing slips in the context of Pampered Chef parties?

Prize drawing slips are forms that guests fill out during a Pampered Chef party to enter a drawing for a prize, typically a product or gift card. These slips often collect contact information, which can be used for follow-ups and future bookings.

How can prize drawing slips boost party bookings?

Prize drawing slips can incentivize guests to book their own parties by offering a chance to win a prize. This creates excitement and encourages attendees to consider hosting their own event, especially if they see the benefits of the products showcased.

What types of prizes are most effective for drawing slips?

Effective prizes are typically Pampered Chef products, gift cards, or exclusive discounts on future purchases. Offering items that guests are excited about can increase participation and interest in booking a party.

How should I promote the prize drawing during the party?

Promote the prize drawing by highlighting the benefits of entering, such as the chance to win a desirable product. Remind guests throughout the party and create a sense of urgency by announcing that the drawing will take place at the end of the event.

Are there any downsides to using prize drawing slips?

While prize drawing slips can be effective, they may also lead to guests who are only interested in the prize rather than genuinely wanting to host a party. It's important to balance the excitement of the drawing with meaningful engagement about the benefits of hosting a Pampered Chef party.
