Boost Your Hosting Business: Incentives That Work

[turtle15]

Do you offer your host extra incentives above and beyond what PC offers? If so, what are they? Which have you found to work the best?

I don't do anything special unless I am looking for bookings. PC is the most generous of all the DS companies--we don't really need to do anything more.

I totally agree! My director offers incentives for more outside orders, so I was curious as to what everyone else does.

I give them a free round up trivet if they have 7 orders before their show.

I give them a cookbook of their choice if they have $200.00 in orders before their show.

I give $20 extra in free product for 5 outside orders or more. I also "buy" their Host Special if their Show is over $500! My Cooking Show on Monday night qualified for both! She closed at $656 THAT NIGHT and had 11 outside orders! I walked into her house with $475 in orders already!

I agree with Deb. I only offer incentives on a month that I really want extra shows. We are very fortunate that PC gives our hosts so much at their expense and not ours.

I do not typically offer anything additional. Sometimes if a past host moves I offer the host special as a bonus free product when I Christen her new kitchen with a Pampered Chef party. I might offer it as a bonus for a Sell A Thon month or if my bookings are slim. Usually it is through the dice game. Roll the dice and pay that price for the host special.

I give a free cookbook for 6 outside orders before the show. $10 in FPV for each booking before the show.

When I am looking for extra bookings - I offer to buy the ingredients for the demo. Almost always when I do this I do the 30 Minute Chicken w/ Garlic Biscuit Bites. (cheap and easy!)
