Healthy Eating & Breastfeeding Tips for WOWING the Crowd!

[heat123]

So how'd everyones BRU go today???

This was my first time and it went well I think! I handed out 24 info-recipe baggies with candy. Then had 12 people enter a raffle, inwhich 7 of them indicated yesses or maybes for a show or the opportunity! So I'd say mine went well overall!!

How'd your's go?

This was my first time too. It was ok. I was in a corner by photo albums & extra registers, so I didn't get as many people stopping as those in the front did. But I did get a bigger table. I only got three people to fill out my door prize slip for a free show, but they all three said yes to a show & one said yes to more info about joining. I also handed out about 20 recipes, business cards, catalogs, or combos of all three. Next month I may try just having a bag filled with a few things-recipe, business card, mini-catalogs if I still have extra. I would have liked more of a response, but I may have three shows I wouldn't have otherwise had, so that's good.

I had a great day! I worked it by myself and was by the strollers and car seats which gets tons of traffic. I actually helped a few couples with a stroller, showing them how to fold the one I own. I ended up getting two smaller tables pushed together b/c another vendor did not show, which got me about 8 or 10 feet of space. It was awesome.

I got 13 quality leads for bookings and one of them is interested in signing--she mentioned it to me before I could even ask!

I had over 50 recipe cards and gave them all away.

Now the real verdict is when I get on the phone tomorrow night.

Good EventMy day went pretty good -- I was doing a drawing for an US&G. About 20 entires -- 5 do not bother mes, 10 show possibilities and 5 want more info on the business. I too will determine sucess based on my follow up calls tomorrow night. Since almost everyone was about to give birth, it might make the show scheduling and business opportunities a little slow coming. I will be telling everyone who didn't win the US&G that they won second prize -- a free show! And they get to pick from one of the following:

Stock the Refridgerator Show -- I bring food for guests and guests help make 3-4 itmes for the mom-to-be's freezer (these items provided by mom or her friends).

Making Mealtime Fun for Kids -- I bring typical fun kids food and shoe how to make it fun and healthy.

Classic Cooking Show -- theme optional.

I figure for new moms, I would push the first so it gets me in the door before the baby!

Any thoughts?

I'm confused If you offer a FREE show (what items are provided by the host or her freinds exactly?)
Sounds like a good choice of show offers too! Good ideas I may use those as suggestions if you don't mind!?
What recipes do you think you will use for #1 and #2?

I did a table at our local BRU yesterday. It was very low-key. A 4' table for a very small display. I purchased wooden, painted animal cutouts at Michael's craft store and decorated PC products with them. I handed out mini catalogs with a BRU flyer I got off this loop. We were not able to hand out food or take orders. I did book 3 shows on the spot, and I have 6 "maybes" to cooking/catalog shows that I am contacting today. It was a great atmosphere with all new and soon-to-be new Mom's stopping in. I was very, very impressed with the staff at BRU and with the location and everything. What a great opportunity. I was asked to do this by a home office lead. Our BRU story just opened and this was the first time they did this. I am hoping and praying that they do it monthly. I am hoping that some of these bookings turn into recruits.
Good luck to everyone that is invited to participate with the BRU events.

I did good too. One catalog show booked there.

I've got 5 people wanting shows - but in later months due to babies being born, new houses being build, kitchen remodels, one too far away for me to drive. All were very interested in Pampered Chef.

I only got names of the interested folks - so I don't have to do the call thing Monday which I fail at every month at getting anything from anyone.

One lady came to me ready to sign a sign-up slip - asked what I was giving away - I said a chance to win the stainless mixing bowl set if you hold a show in August or September - she quickly left - and I was happy because I didn't want to try to follow up with that kind of person anyway.

I do free food for the party -- if mom picks to fill the freezer, her friends bring the food the fill her freezer.

I like the antipasto pizza and the ribbon salad from seasons best becasue they are super fast and would allow time to let everyone else prepare the freezer food (I will do in stations -- each station gets PC tools, recipe card and coaching from me) at end each will talk about what they prepared and eat!

Kids show -- mostly demos, so I would do a kid friendly recipe like taffy apple pizza and do other demos while everyone eats.

Sounds good on paper -- I'll let you know how it goes in reality!

My Saturday resultsWent well. I do the table with a fellow consultant. She got an order, I got 2 bookings and 2 people enter to win the fee show (which of course they both did). Of course we handed out a bunch of recipes and some mini-catalogs...wo we will see on those.

Just remember....it's a FREE opportunity for us to be there.....and any exposure helps our businesses.

That's what I love about doing this! And my gal at our BRU is very good about helping us fit into the theme. Next month is Child Safety or something and she's says "well, the Food Chopper has a guard on it. See you next month!" Gotta love her.

Keep plugging away and following up, ladies! I just signed a recruit yesterday that I met at BRU in May.
