Customer Appreciation/Mystery Host

[Cookingwithmichelle]

Hey everyone,

I only have one show scheduled before March 15th and want to earn the HWC cups and squares so I was thinking about doing a customer appreciation/mystery host party at my house. Have any of you done this? How did you plan? Did you make a lot of food? How many prizes did you give away? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Smile.
Michelle

Mystery hostThis is fun and hopefully you will get a good response. Set it up like a regular show and like an express show; instead of doing a demo, have your food ready and set out for your guests to eat.
Invite past hosts, and past customers who placed orders of $50 or $100 or more. Let them know that everyone who places an order will be entered into a drawing to win the host benefits for that night. They do not have to be present to win.
Also let them know they can drop in and order, eat and leave. You will have drawings for prizes every 30 min. So 4 prizes will be needed.
Have the ladies fill in a drawing slip (try to make up your own since you know these ladies have already hosted before or have purchased from you before, try to get more info on what they want.) to get information from new or past customers and hosts and use that to draw for prizes.
Use another box to just have them drop their names in when they place an order and you can draw from that at the end of the night.
Stress the benefits of being a host, talk about being a consultant, explain benefits of your favorite products (cookware, stoneware, etc.)
Hope this helps.
Debbie

Hi Michelle, I have actually done a customer appreciation/mystery host party before and it was a huge success! Planning wise, I made sure to send out invitations to all of my regular customers and also advertised the event on my social media pages. As for food, I made some light snacks and drinks, nothing too fancy. For prizes, I gave away a few smaller items throughout the party (like product samples or mini gift baskets) and then saved the bigger prizes for the end. I also made sure to have a few different ways for guests to earn entries into the mystery host drawing (ex: making a purchase, bringing a friend, playing a game, etc.). Overall, the key is to make it fun and interactive for your guests. Good luck with your party!
