Creating a Guest Packet: What to Include?

[doughmama]

Bumping!!! I need input from people!!!

I lose probably about half at each show. People want the recipes or they say that they have someone who may want to order. Figured if they spent $$ with me, I should be able to part with the 49 cents the catalog cost.

One thing I have been thinking of is for everyone who takes a catalog, offering them a $1 off their own order for each orders they get - since they often say they are keeping it to show to someone else. And then of course, go into the $150 in orders makes it a catalog party... any thoughts?

This is my first post. Already had my show and signing up tomorrow! I've not tried this yet but tell me what you all think. I read it in a LemonAid Lady book. After you hand out catalogs say:"Is there anyone here who has ever read a best seller?" A few hands might go up. "You are holding a best seller in your hands right now - The Pampered Chef catalog. For a product to make it in this catalog, the product must be a best seller! Not only is this a best seller with best selling products, but it also has the name of the best seller in the company here on the back cover (or where ever your contact info is) . . .it's me!""Ladies, if you were at a bookstore and saw a stack of best selling books - some were naked and the others were autographed - which ones would you want? Tonight, I'll be happy to autograph your best seller. And, when you bring it back to two more parties and collect a total of three of my autographs, I'll give you something special to take home."She says a lot of times woman at the party will talk to each other and set up to more shows so they can get their 3 autographs. Plus, this way people are bringing back the catalogs to parties. This way you are not giving the same person a catalog over and over. Also, tell them where this catalog wants to live - with your cookbooks. This way it's not in a stack of magazines when they need to find it.

I have two pocket folders that I use. I put the catalog and order form on the left, a sheet printed simply with the current month's guest special and next month's host special and the Discover Us brochure on the right.

Merril has lap boards with a clear pocket that can hold a catalog and a pen holder.

I use a file folder with my label on the tab, inside I put a catalog, orderform, Join us recruiting brochure, Drawing slip and a pice of note paper for them to write thier wish list. I have also started inserting the evening's recipie as Most guest always ask me for a copy anyway.

Scottcooks, your "given it thought" flyer needs to be updated.

I simply LOVE all your great ideas! I am now going to switch to manila folders with my label attached to it. I came up with this...
