Bringing Food to the Office: A Catalog or Cooking Show?

[apriljc]

I wasn't sure where I could put this but here it goes. I have a host who took some catalogs to her work and after I get all of her orders I am planning on bringing some food to her work. Do I have to submitt this as a catalog show or can I put it in as a cooking show since I am bringing in some food and some of the gals already have ordered from me before and have some of the tools. What can I do?

In my opinion this qualfies as a demo. Go ahead and submit it as a cooking show, your demonstrating the results of using the products by bringing in the food.

Thanks Darcy. I was thinking the same thing but I wanted to make sure I could do this.

Anytime you provide a dish....well, yeah, I would say you are demoing the products, right? If you take a few things with you and show them how to use them, I'd say it sounds like a demo. Hmmm...close call there.

Darcy, watch the link in your signature...it's a no-no!

Darcy,

We are not allowed to put our websites in our signatures per PC rules. Thought you should know.

From my understanding, as long as there is food there, it can be considered a "cooking show".

My understanding is the same. As long as you have food and answer questions, I'd consider it a show.

There have been whole threads discussing doing a "no-demo" show....and when people do that, they count them as Cooking shows...aren't you basically doing the same thing? Maybe when you take in the food, hang around for 15 minutes to answer any questions people may have about product - I think that should cover it!

Take your tools and stuff with you to serve/dish out the food. Show them how to use them like the pie gate, the pizza cutter, the lift and serve, SA, etc. etc. Show them how PC products are superior by using it right there. You're demoing the products that way and not just a caterer.

This is all pretty much on the honor system. Do what your conscience tells you to do.

Thanks everyone. KG, sometimes I do listen to my conscious and it gets me into trouble. I thought I would be on the safe side and ask other cheffers.
