Creative Ideas for a Combined Show with Wine, PartyLite, and More!

[chefhutch04]

I had a past host contact me about doing a combined show with a wine prob and partylite consultant. I think its going to be way to much going on plus 2 days before she wants to have it i get a double root canal! So I told her I can set things out for it but wouldnt be able to do an actual demo. So I was wondering about ideas of what I can do..

I thought of doing something in the trifle bowl and then on the bamboo things just make a loaf of beer bread and do some sauces over cream cheese. an then set out the new items to show them off

my last show with her was terrible..she had no food ready and i ended up doing everything like i was catering the party not there to demo our products. so im looking for really simple things so that doesnt happen again

thanks

I'd set up a display of a variety of our products - maybe set up as gift ideas. Do a dip or two and some veggies in the cool & serve and sauces with cream cheese and crackers. No demo but talk about features and benefits of several of the products and then how they can get them free and at discounts. Have the guest special there and tell them they can get it free with their $60 order. Be sure to do a door prize.

I did that once, I was set up in the Kitchen, Tupperware in the Dining Room, and Usborne Books in the Living Room. We didn't do actual "shows" we set up our displays and everyone wandered from room to room, talked to us and placed thier orders. That show was $650 for me alone.

BTW, my friend who hosted is married to a top-rated attorney and lives in a nice neighborhood...

I am also doing an open house like this, with Lia Sophia, Tastefully Simple, and possibly Avon. I don't want it to be a flop for me... any tips about that? Also, before being invited to do this I was planning to do my own November show. I am leaning toward just doing their December show, since my November show was going to be similar (focusing on gift ideas, etc). I figured that my contacts were not likely to come to both shows ... any advice on whether I should do both? Or just focus on the December open house?

I would do both. Not all your contacts will be able to make both shows but they will have the choice as to which date they can make. When I do these shows, I also have a few items that they can see as a gift combo...spatulas inside the oven mit, dipping sauce in a Bamboo bowl, etc. Make them inexpensive and if you can find it, the 100 items under $10 flyer is always helpful. I also usually have a few items with me in my car that I can sell right there if someone wants it immediately. Last, have a GREAT item as a raffle item. I get great leads by holding a raffle for the food chopper...every one want to win it! Good luck!!

Mssmileyface, don't forget, even if your contacts don't make it to the December show, you'll be getting new leads from the other reps. I agree with Cara, and do both, especially as your November show will benefit you directly.
