Struggling to Grow My Pampered Chef Business: Any Advice?

[MaryannNic]

My last two shows were no shows. One made one sale, and I was able to move some things around that the host ordered to make the show meet $150, but my last one did nothing. My host wasn't really interested, no matter how much I tried to motivate her. She only wanted to do a facebook party. She never met with me to get catalogs to pass out. She said she was too busy. :grumpy:

I live in a pretty small community on a military base in Korea. There are other bases that are much larger, but I am only authorized to sell at this one. Everyone keeps inviting the same people and I think they are just getting tired of it. Maybe there will be a bunch of new people soon because I'm feeling stuck! :cry:

It is hard when the same people are at every party. Look on here for some theme shows to give you and your guests some new enthusiasm. See if there are groups of people you are missing on your base. Also we can motivate our hosts only if they want to be motivated. Sounds like she really didn't want to host the show at all. Move on to "Who's next?"

I'm trying to come up with new ideas to get more interest and keep my business going, but it's tough. I've tried doing raffles and giveaways, but they haven't generated much interest. I'm also thinking of reaching out to local businesses and offering to do a Pampered Chef cooking demonstration for their employees as a team building activity. I'm hoping that will bring in some new customers and maybe even some potential hosts.I'm also considering doing some online advertising and reaching out to military spouses groups on social media. I've heard that military spouses are always looking for ways to make extra money, so I'm hoping that will bring in some new leads.I'm determined to keep my business going and find new ways to reach potential customers. It's a tough market, but I know there are people out there who love Pampered Chef products and would be interested in hosting a party. I just have to find them!
