lockhartkitchen said:I was successful with bringing the appetizer plates to all my shows so they could see the host special. I also really play up the recipes. I've booked 7 and I still have 10 shows this month, so I plan on booking out November and going on to Dec/Jan. for these months I do offer something special. Dec.- no demo shows are available, where I bring the ingredients and make the items ahead with entertaining and gift giving being the focus. In January, with 10 buying guests, I will bring a cake to celebrate my birthday and to thank my clients for the mark of 3 years with PC.
PCJenni said:I am having a hard time booking November too. I feel like I have gone through my whole stack of fence sitters and no one is biting yet. I might try and incentive if I don't book anything off my next show.

I have my guest turn to the page in the catalog that has the oval platter and plates on it and just talk about how pretty your table will be this holiday season when you have all the right stuff. I have 7 total bookings for Nov (5 cooking; 2 cats). I think I really can attribute it to the pictures in the catalog and the new mini catalog. I LOVE the new mini catalogs, by the way!:love: (I've already mailed out 75!)
There are several ways to boost your bookings in November, including hosting a holiday-themed virtual party, offering exclusive discounts or promotions, and reaching out to past customers for repeat business. You can also collaborate with other consultants to co-host an event or offer a joint promotion. Be sure to utilize social media and email marketing to promote your events and specials.
The holiday season is a great time to promote products that are perfect for gift-giving, such as our cookware sets, baking tools, and kitchen gadgets. You can also highlight products that are great for holiday entertaining, such as our serving platters and tableware. Don't forget to showcase any limited edition holiday items as well!
One effective way to encourage party bookings in November is by offering a hostess exclusive product or bonus for parties held during this month. You can also emphasize the benefits of hosting a holiday-themed party, such as getting a head start on holiday shopping and earning free and discounted products for their own holiday gatherings.
One idea is to offer a holiday-themed cooking or baking class, either in person or virtually, to attract new customers. You can also partner with local businesses or organizations to offer a cooking demonstration or product showcase. Don't forget to utilize social media and targeted advertising to reach potential customers.
In addition to offering holiday-themed games and activities, you can also incorporate a charitable aspect into your parties and events. For example, you can donate a portion of sales to a local charity or host a food drive. You can also offer prizes and incentives for guests who bring a donation or participate in a specific activity. This not only makes the event more fun, but also helps give back to the community during the holiday season.
