I just sent out a special HWC email this morning, asking people to join my "Think Pink" team (shamelessly stole the idea from here :) ) and I already got an email from a woman who wants to do a book party!!!!!

YEAHHHHH!!!!
 
That is wonderful! Do you have a sample wording of what was in your e-mail? I'm trying hard to get some bookings for May!
 
WOO! And...Ya Deb, you know you can't bubble about your success without sharing exactly what you said! LOL ;)

Subject: Join my THINK PINK team and help whip breast cancer!

Join my THINK PINK Help Whip Cancer Team

Do you know someone affected by breast cancer? Join my “Think Pink” team and you can make a difference! Each year in May, The Pampered Chef offers exclusive pink products for our Help Whip Cancer campaign. This year we are featuring a Pink Nylon Knife, a Pink Flexible Scraper, and a Mini Measure All Cup for our guests as well as two Pink Small Bowls with our brushed stainless Small Bowl Caddy for our hosts. For each pink product sold, $1 is contributed to the American Cancer Society’s breast cancer education and early detection programs. Over the past 7 years, we’ve raised $5 million dollars! Wow!!


Join my “Think Pink” team by committing to sell at least 10 Help Whip Cancer (HWC) products.

Simply collect orders from your neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family using the special HWC order form, collect the money, and deliver the product. That’s it. These products are so cute, they sell themselves!


As a thank you, every team member will receive a Spring 2007 Season’s Best cookbook. The team member who sells the most Help Whip Cancer products will get the hostess special for FREE (the Simple Additions® Pink Small Bowls and Small Bowl Caddy OR the Simple Additions® Large White Rectangular Platter with Handles) as a thank you from me.

All orders are due by May 23rd. Once you confirm your involvement, I’ll send you a special order form and you can start collecting orders! Want to do more? Host your own Help Whip Cancer Fundraiser! You can do it in your home or as an online/catalog show. Contact me for more details!

My goal is to sell 200 special HWC products and therefore raise $200 for the American Cancer Society! Together, we can do it!

Please email or call me today if you’d like to join the “Think Pink” team!
 
That's awesome DEB!
 
Love it Deb!!! Alright, I'll have to do it too!! I would LOVE to sell 200 HWC items!!!!:D
 
This is a great idea Deb and I'm glad it's already working out for you. Thanks for posting your email. I'm going to borrow it and see if I can get any takers for my own "Think Pink" Team.
 
Thanks Deb, I copied and pasted it and just sent it to everyone on my email list!!!
 
Congratulations!! I did the same, but a shortened version in my April newsletter. I got two people wanting to help. I did a fundraiser last year, but not sure how I'm doing it this year. I also donate my commission for this to my sister's youth group (she passed away from breast cancer last year) and to someone I know walking in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk. That way one purchase actually helps three causes!
 
Thanks for sharing! I have my email (very similar to yours) ready to go wil send out at the end of the month. Here's hoping everyone is successful with their teams!
 
Did you use a special order form or just the printed outside order forms?
 
There's a special order form here in the files section that looks like a girlscout cookie order form sheet, so to speak. Search in the files for HWC and it should come up.
 
Thanks Deb! Its awesome, I sent something out via regular mail, but this is great for people I dont have addresses for! I'm shooting for 400!!! Lets go and sell those HWC items girls!

I will be sending a special order form to everyone who responds. I also found it hear. As Heather mentioned, just do a search and you'll find plenty. :)
 
Here's a sample HWC products only order form. Sales taxes are calculated for each product using 6% PA tax.

Please change the footer as it has my information on it.

I should have also included in there that I plan on submitting the show as a HWC fundraiser...oh well.
 
Kristi - how do the fundraisers work? I'm committed to raising $500 for the HWC campaign. I thought if I sold $500 worth of HWC products that would cover my $500 committment ($1 is donated by PC when those items are sold right?). Sorry, I'm new so I'm still learning all of this.

If you sell 500 actual HWC products (500 items, not $500 worth), this would generate $500 in donations. It's $1 per item. Hope that helps!
 
WOW Deb love that letter, have confescated (ps?) it already.

Thanks Jane for that order for I love it.
 
Does anyone know WHEN the techs are going to add the Help Whip Cancer email addition to our PWS??? I want to send a HWC email to dozens of contacts so they can participate in this. I do it best in my PWS, but it seems I can't do it yet.
 
okay, that makes sense. thanks becky....:o
 
I have a quick question about the order form. I noticed the shipping said $4.25. I thought it was only $4?
 
PA shipping is taxed. It all depends where you live.
 
Ah ok - that makes sense now. I am just used to how the order forms read and has the seperate sales tax line.
 
E-mailSince there isn't an e-mail in Customer Connection, I created the attached file. I love the idea and wording of the THINK PINK team. This posting motivated me to think how to get that going and I combined it with some other things. I've been toying with having a healthy eating show and thought it could all be combined. Thoughts? Anything I left out or would motivate you? Thanks....

After reading this post this morning I sent out an email and got 1 yes response in less than an hour.

Here is what I sent out

subject: Can You Pass A Book?!?!?!?!

Can you pass a book around? I am doing a pass a book fundraiser for
the American Cancer Society (ACS). All you have to do is look through
the book, call or email me your order and pass the book on. The next
person does the same. Its that simple!

The ACS will receive 20-25% of the sales, plus $1 for each of
the "pink" items sold. With enough people involved we could raise $200-
$300 or MORE just by passing the book on.

I will also be drawing for the hostess special for May. Not only will
you be supporting a great cause but you or someone you know could get
a special product for 60% off!!!
 
YAHOO! Just booked another catalogue show for May!
 
that 20-25% is with what I will donate on top of PC. before anyone tells me its only 10-15% LOL
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "Book Party" in Pampered Chef?

A "Book Party" is a type of party where you gather orders from friends and family without hosting a traditional in-home party. Instead, you collect orders over a set period, often through social media or email, and submit them to your Pampered Chef consultant.

How did I get a Book Party so quickly?

You likely received a Book Party invitation because your Pampered Chef consultant is actively seeking to expand their business and thought you would be a great fit. They may have noticed your interest in Pampered Chef products or your social network and reached out to you directly.

What are the benefits of hosting a Book Party?

Hosting a Book Party allows you to earn free products, discounts, and exclusive offers based on the total sales from your party. It’s a convenient way to gather your friends’ orders without the need for a physical gathering, making it easier for everyone to participate.

Do I need to provide anything for a Book Party?

No, you don’t need to provide anything other than your enthusiasm and willingness to share the Pampered Chef catalog with your friends and family. Your consultant will provide all the necessary materials, including product information and ordering details.

How long does a Book Party typically last?

A Book Party usually lasts around 1-2 weeks, giving you enough time to share the catalog, collect orders, and submit them to your consultant. The exact duration can vary based on your preferences and the consultant's guidelines.
