I'm going to work up and send out a few packets to some businesses (that I do business with) - asking that they consider buying Pampered Chef Gift Certificates from me for their employee's Christmas gifts. Then offer a free lunch show so they can spend it:) .

Any ideas on what to say? I'm thinking I might hand write the notes, include a sample gift certificate, catalog, gift certificate order form.

Then I KNOW I should call or visit and follow up - (but I bet I don't!).

It would be great to follow up with a visit with a plateful of Truffles or Spiced Nuts for them to share.
 
Great idea. I am going to incorporate this idea into my "adopt a business" campaign...Thanks for sharing!
 
Keep in mind that if they do PC gift certificates they can not redeem them through you, so you can't take their orders at the show. You could try to do gift certificates that are only good through you.

Including a sample gift certificate, catalog, and order form is a fantastic idea. It gives them a tangible item to hold onto and makes the process easier for them to visualize. You could also consider offering a special discount or promotion for bulk orders to entice them even more.
