Has anyone had any luck handing out little bags with P info to parents of their trick or treaters? I had some small Halloween themed bags and stamped some theme show recipe cards with my info and also typed up a small "host a kitchen show"note. Any one done this before and if so how did it go?
 
I did it last year. I put a sticker on the outside that said something like "You'd be a "smartie" if you booked a Pampered Chef Party" Then included my info. Put the sticker on a trick or treat bag and put Smartie Candies inside. Didn't get me any bookings tho. But I did use them at my shows this year and people did get a kick out of them.

Thanks for the great ideas!I had planned on doing the shopping "Spree", which was also a suggestion of my directors, but ofcourse, they were no were to be found (I wish I had thought of the "Now and Later" idea but I guess it will have to wait until next year. I just added a small strip of paper, along with a Celebrations Recipe Card (with my info stamped on it!) that encourages people to book a "holiday" party in December, or earn 50%more in free products for January. Hopefully I will get a "bite" :rolleyes: or two...get it bite...halloween...candy...ha ha ha.
 
What a great idea!

Being that tonight is Halloween I don't have time to do anything fancy. I thought I would hand out the dessert recipe cards with the candies - recipe to the parents, candy to the kids. I had some Ice Cream and Chocolate cards from my kit that I haven't yet used. I made sure to put a sticker on the back with my name and number.

This is one way to get your name out as a consultant, and, more than likely, the kids will be from around my neighbourhood.

Happy Halloween !!!
 
I am anxious to hear how this went for everyone who tried it. We just moved to this house so wasnt sure how many trick or treaters we would have. Had 115 kids but not many adults come to the doors with them they all stayed at the end of drive or in vehicles so would have had luck with about 30 adults. Maybe I will try it for next year!

We'll seeI gave away about twenty cards with Host Special info.To the parents who did not come to the door, I just gave it to the kid. One skipped away from my house, toward her mom in the car saying "Mommy Look Your Favorite!" hopefully she is not already a consultant.
As I said, if I get one show or order from this it would be worth it! Those recipe cards are nice and cheap!! :D

What is a Kitchen Show, and how does it work during Halloween?

A Kitchen Show is a fun, interactive event where a Pampered Chef consultant demonstrates products and shares cooking tips. During Halloween, hosts can incorporate themed recipes and decorations, making it a festive gathering. Guests can sample seasonal dishes, learn new cooking techniques, and shop for kitchen tools that can help with holiday preparations.

What are some successful Halloween-themed recipes to showcase at a Kitchen Show?

Successful Halloween-themed recipes include spooky snacks like "Mummy Hot Dogs," "Pumpkin Cheeseball," and "Witch's Brew Soup." These fun, visually appealing dishes not only engage guests but also highlight the versatility of Pampered Chef products. Incorporating seasonal ingredients can also enhance the experience.

How can I promote my Halloween Kitchen Show to attract more guests?

To promote your Halloween Kitchen Show, use social media platforms to create buzz, send out themed invitations, and encourage guests to come in costume. Offer incentives like a Halloween-themed prize for the best costume or a special discount on orders placed during the show. Engaging visuals and a clear theme will help draw attention.

What are some tips for creating a festive atmosphere during the Kitchen Show?

To create a festive atmosphere, decorate your space with Halloween-themed decor such as pumpkins, spider webs, and themed table settings. Play Halloween music in the background and encourage guests to participate in fun activities, like a costume contest or a Halloween trivia game. The more immersive the experience, the more memorable it will be for guests.

Can hosting a Halloween Kitchen Show lead to increased sales and bookings?
