Hi everyone, First of all I appreciate everyones patience with all my questions over the last few days, you have been great.

I have had several people recommend to me that I "Pamper a Business" to help boost some bookings/sales. I have tried the search feature, but when I put that in the field, I come up with 499 pages of postings... I dont have that kind of time, lol.

So Can someone break it down for me as to what you all do when you "pamper a business" and how successful is this for show bookings? Do you just end up with individual orders this way?

Thanks in Advance
 
Hi there, I tried it once and I thought it went well. I chose my bank, made the Italian Sausage bake, got a fundraiser out of it, not bad, I plan in doing it more regularly to keep the "gravy coming"Hope that helps..

So you just made a dish and dropped it off to a business?
 
Yes. You can make dessert or an appetizer, take in your catalogs and business cards, and ask the manager if you can leave them in the lunchroom. If you go to a real estate, dentist or doctor office or a hair salon, you can usually leave them in the waiting room.
 
I do this all the time. I frequently will bring treats to my families dr's, dentists, hair appointments. I also Pampered the post office, and teachers. It is a grood way to keep your business in front of people. And people always really like me! I have some team members that go to other businesses too. Take treats, catalogs, and book lunch or catalog shows. Make sure you get a contact person, so you can follow up.
 
I did this at my daughters school in the teachers lounge. They loved it! I didn't get a ton of orders from it, but now they know where to go for Pampered Chef at that school. I plan on doing it as soon as school starts up again.
