First Show: Door Prizes & Overwhelm - HELP!

[pampchef.angel]

Getting ready to do my first show and I don't understand door prizes. How do you decide what to give? Do we pay for them? HELP! I am so overwhelmed :cry:

 

[chefann]

Yes, we pay for them. There are several things on the supply order form that make good door prizes. You can give as many or as few as you want to.I usually give the host a SBRC, that I have all the guests sign. Then I draw for free shipping, which I enter as a consultant gift payment type on the winning order. (That way I don't have to remember to take something with me, or keep prizes in stock.)

Free shipping is a great idea! This is all so much to take in at once - thanks so much for the response!!!

Just one more thing...where do I find the supply order form? I see the non-commissioned orders with the option for a supply order, but I don't see a list???

You got a copy in your kit...but you can also download a copy from Consultant's Corner.

BTW ~ do not feel you HAVE to do door prizes, especially when you're new. I didn't do door prizes until I "made" money. Also ONE door prize is okay too!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR FIRST SHOW!

When you are on the the supply order screen~ you see a box you can type a item number in, I believe to the left of that is a magnify glass looking thing click on it to see the list. Hope that helps

You also get a hard copy of the supply order in your Change Over kit....and you can go to CC, > Managing Your Business,> Samples and Supplies,> Paperwork and Supply Order Form (pdf).

Thanks again, Jenni! You're proving to be a lifesaver!!!

I do the same as Ann - give a SB having everyone sign it (of course my stamp and personal ty is in there first) and then I do draw for free shipping too. I've been doing the free shipping for about 5 months now, and everyone really loves that. I used to keep the citrus peelers, pan scrapers, quick-cut paring knives, etc. on hand, but I found that I was probably buying more than I needed, forgot them sometimes and at other times, people already had them. So, the free shipping has worked out really well!!!

I just add a "consultant gift" payment of $4.24 (shipping and tax, here in MI and other 6% states) on their order. Don't add the shipping on their form. Easy-peasy!

i like the free shipping idea.

i give the microfiber towels from the outlet. i had a ton of the seafoam or teal or whatever color that was. im done to about 3 of them now. i need to place an order for the eggplant ones they have on there now. people seems to like the microfiber towels and i LOVE them so i talk them up. & getting them off the outlet is the same price as free shipping nowadays.

i have also gone to michaels and collected things from their $1 bin. for a while they had cute recipe cards, etc. i havent looked in a while though..

oh. & my hosts get a free sb too.
