My son's school is going to allow me to leave advertising coupons on the front office counter. I want to leave more than a biz card so that they will take notice. Anyone ever done this? I was thinking about offering 10-15% off of their first order with me and printing them on bright colored paper. Or, should I leave a stack of minis there and put neon stickers on them?

Tips? Ideas?
 
Linda - I haven't done it but my suggestion would be 10% off an order of 50.00 or more - in other words - put in a limit - maybe booking a show and receive an additional 25 in free merchandise if booked between certain dates AND held as well - hth!
 
Why not get some of the oversized postcards from Vistaprint, I would do one side recipe (so they keep the postcard) and the other side your special --- maybe focus in on the $2.00 per serving dinner ideas....families on a budget saving money by eating at home...etc.

I was thinking about that too. School starts Monday, so I want something quick for next week. I really need to get on Vista b/c I'm doing a booth in Sept and need some hand-outs. I just get so frustrated on the Vista site....it takes me forever to navigate it! I need to take the time though b/c I need tons of stuff.
 
School already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it year round schooling???
 
How about using the attached "fair recipe with coupon", changing the recipe to a budget friendly recipe and changing the coupons to your liking, and printing it on colored paper?

Nah, here in the south they like to start when it's screaming hot out and make the kids suffocate in the non-airconditioned busses!

I thought about that too.
 
Thanks for the coupon/recipe card, Brenda. I saved it for the two I am doing in Sept & Oct and for my Stop N Shops in November.

Our kids start here on Monday as well but get out 2nd week of May.

Linda, how far over the TN/GA stateline is Locust Grove?

I'm about 30 miles south of Atlanta. Who's your upline? I know several cons/dirs in that area.
 
I would do minis with some stickers. Here is the one I used for a fair. I printed them on the large name tag size stickers and put them on the back.

On the front I put a "have you ever thought of doing what I am doing" sticker and a booking sticker (can't remember for sure which one)

Frequently Asked Questions

What are advertising coupons and how can they benefit my Pampered Chef business?

Advertising coupons are promotional tools that offer discounts or special deals to potential customers. They can help attract new clients, encourage repeat business, and increase overall sales. By using advertising coupons, you can create a sense of urgency and incentivize customers to try your products, ultimately boosting your Pampered Chef business.

How can I create effective advertising coupons for my Pampered Chef products?

To create effective advertising coupons, consider offering a percentage off, a dollar amount off, or a free gift with purchase. Make sure the offer is clear and enticing. Use appealing designs and include your branding. Additionally, set a clear expiration date to encourage quick action from potential customers.

Where can I distribute my advertising coupons to reach more customers?

You can distribute your advertising coupons through various channels, including social media platforms, email newsletters, and local community events. Consider partnering with local businesses to include your coupons in their promotions or handing them out at Pampered Chef parties. Online platforms like your website or blog can also be effective for reaching a wider audience.

How often should I update my advertising coupons?

It's a good practice to update your advertising coupons regularly, ideally every month or seasonally. This keeps your promotions fresh and encourages customers to check back frequently. Additionally, updating your coupons allows you to test different offers and see which ones resonate best with your audience.

Can I use advertising coupons in conjunction with other promotions or sales?

Yes, you can use advertising coupons alongside other promotions or sales, but be sure to clearly communicate the terms and conditions. For example, you might offer a coupon for a discount on a specific product while also running a sale on a different item. Just ensure that the combination of offers does not confuse customers and remains profitable for your business.
