I'd like to do a guys only show, where guys can shop for themselves or purchase Christmas gifts for their wives with a personal shopper (me). I was thinking of approaching a male-friendly organization like a hunting/fishing club or veterans organization or firehall and offering to do a fundraiser for them in order to use their facility.
Pre-show work:
Advertise with fliers at said locations "Need help finding a Christmas gift for your wife or do you have a loved one that loves to cook? Does she/they love Pampered Chef? Come to XX at XX time and your personal shopper will help you pick out that perfect gift!! Bring a friend or an outside order, get a free Jamaican Jerk Seasoning rub!
At the show-
Have a few cash and carry items
Display my PC items as normal
Hand out the well-stocked kitchen list and highlight a few items. Get a few guys to share what their wives have (or they have for themselves).
Demo keep it short and simple - Showcase the rubs on cubed chicken using a grill (indoor using grill pan or outdoor using the basket) - use the sauces for dipping.
Do a couple hands-on demos of the knives, food chopper, salad choppers, etc to show the guys what folks like and why.
Drawing for a free show (after discussing the bonuses of hosting a show).
What do you think?
Is it guy-friendly enough?
The guys I have spoken to aren't too keen on going to a PC party, but when I talked about the personal shopper angle and asked if their wives had PC products, they thought that THAT would be good for them.
What have you PCers done to reach out to the male market?
