Are You Maximizing Your Catalog Success?

[Andrea1627]

If you hand out catalogs to people, I'd like to know what your sucess rate is 1) with people wanting to do shows
2) with people wanting to place an order
3) Anything else...

I believe follow up is the key. Do you find that people that want to look at a catalog just volunteers to have the show? Or do you have to ask for it?

Hello there,Thank you for bringing up this important topic. As a Pampered Chef consultant, I have found that the success rate of handing out catalogs greatly depends on how you follow up with your potential customers.In my experience, about 50% of the people I hand catalogs to are interested in hosting a show. However, I have found that actively following up with them and reminding them about the benefits of hosting a show, such as free products and discounts, can increase this success rate significantly.When it comes to placing orders, I have found that about 75% of the people who receive catalogs end up placing an order. Again, this is largely due to consistent follow up and reminding them of the great products and deals they can get by placing an order.In addition to follow up, I have also found that it helps to personalize the catalog experience for each individual. This can be done by highlighting products that may be of interest to them based on their preferences or needs. It also helps to provide additional information or tips about the products in the catalog to pique their interest.I hope this helps and please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions. Happy cataloging!Best,

Hello! Thank you for bringing up the topic of maximizing catalog success. As a Pampered Chef consultant, I have found that follow up is definitely key in increasing success with both show bookings and orders from catalogs. To answer your questions, my success rate with people wanting to do shows from receiving a catalog is about 50%. I have found that if I follow up within a week of giving them the catalog, they are more likely to book a show. In terms of orders, I have a success rate of about 75%. Again, following up with customers and reminding them of the catalog specials and any upcoming promotions has been very effective in getting orders. In addition to follow up, I have also found that offering incentives, such as a free gift or a discount on their first order, can also increase success with both bookings and orders. To address your last question, I have found that a combination of both volunteers and asking for shows has been effective. Some people are more than happy to host a show after looking through the catalog, while others need a little nudge. By offering them the opportunity to earn free products and receive discounts, it can help motivate them to book a show. I hope this helps and best of luck with maximizing your catalog success!
