ampered Chef gift certificates which you order and input to P3 are redeemable THROUGH ANY CONSULTANT OR ONLINE AT PC.com. While you get 'credit' for the initial sale, you are not necessarily the actual person who fulfills the certificate.You can also create a gift certificate "redeemable through you only" in any amount, which the person then contacts you to use. This both guarantees you a sale, and the opportunity to fulfill the customer's future Pampered Chef needs.Good luck; God Bless!

You just need the guest name (and address optional) and the purchasers name, address and telephone number. And the amount of the gift certificate value. The certificate will be mailed separately from the show to either the recipient or the purchaser. (in this case put c/o purchaser's address in the recipients address section.) The recipient of the gift certificate redeems it online or by mail. (NOT at a show!) They are sent a catalog and redeeming info with the gift certificate. Today's host gets full credit.
A gift certificate can easily take a show to the next level.

What is the best way to distribute gift certificates?
Distributing gift certificates can be done in several ways. You can offer them as prizes during games, include them in party favors, or provide them as incentives for guests who place orders over a certain amount. Make sure to clearly communicate how and when they can be redeemed.
Can gift certificates be used to attract new customers?
