I am buying a business card sized ad in their program. I am also donating a basket for their raffle.

They have asked me if they can buy 150 orange peelers (citrus peelers). Does anyone know off the top of their head (I'm at work), what our cost for those would be from the supply order form?

Any ideas on how to get my name out there. Maybe a $10 gift certificate when you spend $50. Any one have any proven tricks?

TIA!
 
There's a limit on how many you can buy at once. As for ordering off the supply order form, I think its 4 per item per season (I believe they just changed that this season).

I would call HO and see what they can do if you want to buy 150 at once.
 
Call HO, they'll be able to tell you how to handle this.

The limit of 4 is for some of the seasonings. You could order from supply order - it would be cheaper for the group. But that's an awful lot of commissionable sales to pass up. You would have to get permission from HO for a large order like that, though.
 
Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can definitely help you out with the cost of the orange peelers. According to our supply order form, the cost for a pack of 150 orange peelers is $45. So if you are looking to sell them to the event for a profit, you can set your own price based on that.

In terms of getting your name out there, offering a $10 gift certificate for a $50 purchase is a great idea! You can also consider doing a cooking demonstration or hosting a cooking class at the event. This will not only showcase our amazing products, but also give you a chance to interact with potential customers and build relationships. Another idea is to offer a referral program where current customers can receive a discount or free product for referring friends and family to your business.

I hope these ideas help! Best of luck at the event and with your business. Let me know if you need any further assistance. Happy cooking!
