Ok, so I DO have my first party set up for September 12 (YAY!) - and a girl at work who's hosting a catalogue show...
but if i have single orders - can I be my own "host" and put everything under my name? how does that work? (i haven't had time to go through any of my stuff in my kit yet...)
 
Yes, if you get enough outside orders to submit it as a show ($150 or more) you could just put a catalog show in your name.
Don't forget, if you do submit individual orders, it ships to their house. The shipping and handling is not $4.25 like an order for a guest. It depends on how much they order and where it is being sent to. Also the tax would be from what county/state they are from.

Cool! Thanks! :)
 
You can be the host of catalog and cooking shows. There's a box to check mark that says "Consultant as host". You enter in the guest names and orders just like normal and then you can get the host benefits. The only thing that you don't get are any "Booking Benefits". And you don't earn commission on anything you order for yourself.
 
And if you are the "consultant acting as host" before the 31st, you will be entered into the drawing for free products!

You can also offer incentives for guests to order early or in larger quantities.

A catalogue show is a type of party where you showcase Pampered Chef products using a catalogue instead of a live demonstration. You can collect orders over a set period, either through physical catalogues or digital ones shared via social media or email. This format is flexible and allows guests to browse at their convenience, making it easier for you to gather orders and earn host rewards.

How do I promote my catalogue show effectively?

To promote your catalogue show effectively, utilize social media platforms, email newsletters, and personal invitations to reach out to potential guests. Share product highlights, special offers, and host rewards to generate excitement. Consider hosting a virtual event or live demonstration to engage your audience and encourage them to place orders.

The benefits of being your own host include earning host rewards such as discounts, free products, and exclusive offers. You also have the opportunity to showcase your favorite products and share your passion for Pampered Chef with others.
