Cooking Class vs. Cooking Show: What Works Best?

[Trish in Texas]

Is it better to have a pre-paid Kids Cooking Class, where they can take home products, or do you get more attendance when you just offer a hands-on Cooking Show?

I'd love some ideas too on doing a kids' show.

I think it really depends on your target audience and what they are looking for. If you are targeting parents who want their kids to have a fun and educational experience, then a pre-paid cooking class with take-home products would definitely be more attractive. This not only gives the kids a hands-on experience but also allows them to bring home something tangible that they can show off and use in the future. Plus, parents would be more willing to pay for a pre-paid class knowing that their child will have something to show for it.On the other hand, if you are targeting a wider audience and want to attract more attendees, a hands-on cooking show might be a better option. This allows people to come and go as they please, without having to commit to a pre-paid class. It also gives them the opportunity to watch and learn from a professional chef, which can be a unique and exciting experience.Ultimately, I think it's important to offer both options and see which one works best for your business. You could even consider offering a combination of both, where attendees can choose to participate in the hands-on cooking show or pay for a pre-paid class with take-home products. This way, you cater to different preferences and attract a larger audience. Good luck with your cooking events!
