I was hoping to get some feedback on this idea. I need to get bookings for February and March so I was thinking of sending this out to people. I know I should be on the phone calling people but the doctor says no talking until my voice comes back.


Can You Believe That A Year Has Almost Passed?

For me this first year with the Pampered Chef has been a blast, and I can’t believe that I will be starting my second year with Pampered Chef. When I started my exciting Pampered Chef business I set a goal and I am almost at my goal but I need your help.

If you wish to help me to reach this goal you will be rewarded. Anyone who books a show in February or March will get to choose a new Spring/Summer ’08 Product for FREE. See the list of items to choose from provided below.(The show must be held on the originally scheduled date in order to qualify for the reward.)

Not only will you receive a new product for free as a personal thank you from me, but as a host you can earn FREE products, Half-priced items, Up to 30% off any additional items, and 10% off for a whole year.

Here is where I will put the list of items when I decide which ones to include.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!:)
 
I like the letter! You might want to share the goal you set (unless it is too personal) so that people can relate and get exciteded with/for you.


At least you have an excuse for not making calls!! The rest of us just think we do LOL! :rolleyes:

That is true I bet it would make it more personal if I added in my goal. I will add that in.

Unfortunately doctors excuse won't last for long and then I will be like everyone else...finding any excuse possible not to get on the phone.

Does anyone else have any thoughts? I am going to send this out Tuesday Night and was hoping to get a few more opinions.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
 
Depending on the products you are offering for free you may want to set a show minimum. I gave away the large bar pan for the price of the day they booked a show (Jan 8= $8). I had to eat a little bit of it on a show that was only $150. I will set it around $300-400 next time I try it.
 
I think it's a great letter!
 
Good letter! I, too, have used what wadesgirl did. Since it is such a good host special for Feb., and she does not have to reach $500 for good benefits, you could make your minimum $350 & 2 bookings. That is not so scary as $500 (which I use with repeat hosts).

Today, in Michigan, during this blizzard, is a perfect day to sit at the computer and contemplate host e-mails. Alas, I work for an insurance company... can feel the claims coming in already.:cry:

LOL Sallie - I was just watching the news with all of the footage of cars in ditches and in fender-benders!

I thought too that today would be a good day to catch people at home! If they don't have to be out, they won't be.
