Are There Special Deals on Cookware and Cutlery for Hosts at The Pampered Chef?

[krahema]

Does PC ever put Cookware/Cutlery "sets" on special for hosts, or is it just the typical 60% off one piece during the assigned month. I have someone that is interested in hosting a party and said she would like to wait until cookware or cutlery are the host special, but from the looks of it, she would only get the 60% discount on 1 to 2 pieces, based on last year.

I'm thinking she would be better off hosting a party anytime and using her 50% off items to purchase the "sets" that PC offers to hosts year-round.

Thanks!:chef:

Well, last month hosts could choose either the knife block set or a cookware set for 60% off.

Yes, sometimes they do. But you are correct - any time she can host and get 50% off those sets. They are always on sale for 50% off for the host!

HO does a pretty good job about rotating all the product lines through the Host Special program, but I have not seen anything where different product lines were combined to be one Host Special.

The cookware (full set) is always available at 50% off for the host, and so is the knife block. If the Host is really set on 60% off, it's not necessarily that huge of a difference that you might not consider offering that as a bonus from you if she gets to a certain sales level.

When the knives were on sale, you could get the entire knife block set at 60% off with a $1000 party... I think that was either Oct or Nov last year.

Except for last month! There was something from several lines, and with a $550 show, they could choose 2 different ones.

Sometimes, they have also done a Host Bonus that was "Choose Your Own" 60% off item.

Right. What I was more thinking of was combined as one item. I know in the last year HO has been doing the "pick two with $550" bonuses, but when it's just one item, it's not usually a combo. The two items might be choices, but the host has to pick one or the other.

But I still think emphasizing the 50% any month would be the best way to go, instead of letting her string the consultant along, waiting for the bonus.

I personally would offer the extra 10% off on one half price item i.e. Executive cookware,
which means $35 from you, and set the amount as a $1,000.00 party. See if you can
get her to tell you what she wants, so you can make the deal to suit your level of "give away". It works out best in the times when the hostess gets 1.5 times the FREE Products. Then if she had a $1,000 party, she would be getting $322, in FREE PRODUCTS, and she might get what she wants totally FREE. That is how I gifted myself with the set of steak knives, when I hosted a party in January.Last summer we had the 1.5 times FREE products in July, and then we had it again in January. We have had Stoneware months last Fall and again in February, so some of those products have deals twice a year, in the last three seasons.

Last August they had a host special with $550 or more you could choose 60% off 2 pieces of cookware, including sets. They could have chosen both the 5 piece and 7 piece set at 60% off for their 2 pieces if they wanted.
