Hi, I just had a kitchen show. I received 17 orders and sold over $460.00 worth of products. I am sending this letter to all those that placed an order at my show hoping that they will book a show in the future. I thought I would share this letter with ya'll. I think it's important that my friends see how good it is to host a show. The benefits are wonderful.

Great Letter!Tricia Ann,
What a great letter! Thank you for passing it along. I think I will use it with all my hosts and just change it a little. Guests do need to know what the final results were...they are usually very curious!

Congratulations on a successful show. It is so exciting when we get those!

Thanks again,
 
I attach a postcard to every receipt with some of the same info on it... just shorter. I have attached the file if you want to use it.

I print them out on the checkerboard postcards from Nancy's Artworks. But you could easily print them out on plain, colored cardstock.

THanks for sharing! I did these for awhile (on the checkerboard postcards too) but I need to get back into doing it. Maybe since I have fewer shows in December, this is a good time to get back into the habit! And Out of the Box calls!
 
Lisa,

That pc Thank you card is great!! I was doing something similar, but to no avail. Also, I was mailing them. But after reading some of everyone elses comments. I think I'm going to start attaching them to everyones receipts!!

I have to just comment. That I have been visiting the sight a lot lately and you ALL have great Ideas. You are all inspirations!! :D

I always attach them to the receipts because I don't want to pay the additional postage. I always have to get the receipts for the outside orders to the host, so I send the ones from the actual show then as well. I staple the notes to the receipts, put them in an envelope with the standardized thank you note from pp and put everything in the mail. One trip to the post office and I am done!

And those notes really get people's attention... especially when you've had a big show. I can guarantee you that people noticed off my last show where the host receivef $190 free! Can you imagine what that will be like in January?
 
Thank youWow these are really good ideas. My daughter is having surgery next week so I am not doing any shows for December. Since I have some down time I think I will put some of these together. Thank you

Tara :)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to encourage bookings for shows?

Encouraging bookings for shows is essential because it helps to grow your business, increase sales, and expand your customer base. Each show provides an opportunity to showcase products, connect with potential new customers, and build relationships that can lead to future sales.

How can I effectively encourage my customers to book a show?

To effectively encourage customers to book a show, share the benefits they will receive, such as free products, discounts, and the chance to host a fun gathering with friends. Personalize your approach by highlighting how hosting a show can fit into their lifestyle and interests.

What incentives can I offer to motivate bookings?

Incentives can include exclusive discounts, free products, or special promotions for hosts. You can also offer a fun theme for the show, such as a cooking class or a holiday party, to make it more appealing. Consider creating a host rewards program that highlights the benefits of hosting.

How do I handle objections when someone is hesitant to book a show?

When faced with objections, listen carefully to the concerns and address them directly. Provide reassurance by sharing success stories from past hosts, emphasizing the simplicity of the process, and offering to assist with planning. Highlight the fun and social aspects of hosting to alleviate any apprehensions.

What follow-up strategies can I use to encourage bookings after a show?

After a show, follow up with attendees through personalized messages or emails thanking them for coming and reminding them of the benefits of hosting their own show. Share upcoming promotions or exclusive offers for hosts, and invite them to consider booking a date. Keeping the conversation open and friendly can lead to more bookings.
