Flip Chart: Is It Worth the Investment?

[chefshawna]

I have been debating on buying the flip chart or not, is it a good investment?

I waited until about 3 months ago, and I can't imagine shows without it. It is definitely worth the investment! I love the color pictures I can show guests. The great photos of food helps book shows. I even joked at my last show about how easy my job can be. They have a script on the back. I read it word by word to see how I had did by heart. It got the crowd laughing. I purchased the flip chart and 2 extra orders of the sheets. I found I needed that many.

THANKS!!! I'll have to set some money aside when I do my next order and get one!! I had it on my last order and ended up taking it off again!!

How funny. I had it on my computer for a supply order many times and changed my mind. But I was glad I finally did it. It looks great when doing fairs, bridal exibits, etc. and especially at shows.

Where can I find a photo of the flip chart?
I've never seen one 'live', so to speak Thanks,

I need to get one as well!
I have been debating back and forth whether it would be "worth" it or not

What all are you putting in them ?? I find that I don't have enough to put in it but, I also don't have enough pages. (may need to order more)

I have had mine for several years, and use it at every show. Definitely a "must have"! I put the current month's guest special in first, then the "Host Flyer" (says "host a cooking show" with all the host benefits on it), then the next few month's host specials, then the recruiting special, then the flyer on wedding registries, a flyer on Round Up From The Heart, a flyer on Fundraisers, and then all of the product cards (cookware, stoneware, simple additions, etc.). It's great for guests to look through after my demo, and I keep it at the table where I check out the guests so they can look at the host specials and book shows on the spot.

I have a regular binder for that but it seems that people don't really look at it too much at my shows. Would having it in the flip that can stand help

It did make a difference for me. I used to have just a regular "booking binder", and then replaced it with the flip chart. More people look at the flip chart than ever looked at the binder! HTH!

Are you using both sides ?? I have about 15 in my binder right now. That is using both sides. I am going to order but am trying to see how many I need.

I have been using a booking binder and I am finding that I am really the only one looking at it!!! LOL I usually pick it up and show them the specials and then pass it around, but I notice that noone really looks at it, they just pass it! They'll even ask me a question and I'll say "Did you see that page in the binder?" and they'll say, oh I didn't look at it!!!!!!
I guess I'm going to have to break down and buy one then!!
