It's different for everyone...because Dessert Shows are never high in sales or bookings for me. I get way better bookings, and much higher sales when I do a main dish show.I had 8 shows in January, and a show avg. of $707. All of my shows were either Loaded Baked Potato Chowder w/ Garlic Parm. Biscuit Bites, or Jerk Chicken Nachos, or for my brunch shows, I did Ham & Cheese Brunch Squares w/ Caramel Biscuit Bites.DessertDivaFL said:
The DCB, or Deep Covered Baker, is a versatile piece of cookware from Pampered Chef that allows for easy and efficient cooking. It can be used in the microwave, oven, and even on the grill, making it a great tool for demonstrating quick and delicious recipes at your shows. By showcasing the DCB's capabilities, you can attract more customers and boost sales through engaging cooking demonstrations.
Recipes that are simple, quick, and visually appealing work best with the DCB. Popular options include casseroles, one-pot meals, and desserts like brownies or cobblers. Highlighting recipes that showcase the DCB's versatility and ease of use can captivate your audience and encourage them to purchase the product.
The Try Me Pan is a smaller, more affordable option that allows customers to experience Pampered Chef quality without a large commitment. By incorporating the Try Me Pan into your demonstrations, you can offer quick, easy recipes that encourage attendees to try out Pampered Chef products at home, ultimately leading to increased sales.
To effectively demonstrate recipes, ensure you prepare ahead of time and have all ingredients and tools ready. Engage your audience by inviting them to participate, asking questions, and sharing personal anecdotes about the recipes. Keep the demonstrations interactive and informative, and always highlight the unique features of the cookware you are using.
After the show, follow up with customers via email or social media to thank them for attending and share additional recipes or tips using the DCB and Try Me Pan. Offer exclusive promotions or discounts for attendees to encourage them to make a purchase. Building a relationship and providing value can significantly enhance your chances of closing sales post-show.
