Book to Look" Prizes: What Have You Had Success With?

[chefinbiz]

Has anyone had success with "book to look" prizes? What are you offering? Has it been worht it? I don't want bookings that are going to cost me money when The Pampered Chef already awards hostesses so nicely. I was thinking of free recipe ingredients or maybe a $ amount extra in free product from me when they close their show? What have you guys had success with?

I do a Deal or No Deal game. I made briefcase stickers with the numbers on them and put them on envelopes. I explain that it works same as the game show, you cannot look into your case until the end of the show. I change it with the season on put new products $12 or under in them. I let them know they are all new products in them. I'm going to start applying that if they hold their show on the original date offered, they get it. I'm starting to get people who reschedule and like that it could make them hold to their original date.

I think I have it at home. I'll have to look for it after work.

Hi there! I have definitely had success with "book to look" prizes. I offer a variety of different prizes, depending on the hostess and her preferences. Some of the most successful prizes I have offered include a free kitchen gadget of their choice, a gift card to a local restaurant, or a free cooking class with me. These prizes have been well-received and have helped me to book more shows. I have found that it is important to offer prizes that are valuable and appealing to your hostesses, but also ones that won't break the bank for you. I hope this helps, and good luck with your bookings!
