It really isn't a show, so do I just greet people and pass out flyers.

I would still think that a SA display would work for a picnic theme...it's just a very ELEGANT PICNIC!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I prepare for a demo at a wine shop?

Before your demo, ensure you have all necessary Pampered Chef products that pair well with wine, such as cheese boards, wine openers, and food prep tools. Prepare a simple recipe that complements the wines being featured, and bring all ingredients, utensils, and serving items. Don't forget to have brochures or catalogs available for guests to browse.

How can I engage customers during the demo?

Engage customers by asking questions about their wine preferences and encouraging them to share their experiences. Offer samples of the food you prepare and invite them to participate in the cooking process. Use storytelling to highlight the benefits of the Pampered Chef products and how they can enhance their wine and food experiences.

What types of recipes work best for a wine shop demo?

Recipes that pair well with wine, such as cheese platters, bruschetta, or chocolate desserts, are ideal for a wine shop demo. Focus on simple, quick recipes that showcase the versatility of your products while complementing the wines being served. Consider including a variety of flavors to cater to different palates.

How do I handle questions about pricing and ordering?

Be prepared to answer questions about pricing and ordering by having a price list handy. Clearly explain the benefits of each product and any current promotions. Encourage attendees to place orders during the event, and provide them with a way to contact you afterward for follow-up questions or additional orders.

What should I do if I run out of time during the demo?

If you find yourself running out of time, prioritize the key points you want to cover. Focus on demonstrating the most important aspects of the products and the recipe. If necessary, offer to finish the cooking process after the demo or provide a handout with the recipe and instructions for attendees to take home.
