How can I increase sales at a bridal shower without being pushy?

[kcjodih]

or just tips of what you do at PC bridal showers to get the guests to order for themselves as well as the bride. I'm not sure how to word it without seeming tacky but still wanting to help the host out with higher sales/more free. I've done 4 bridal showers and only had an order or two at each besides the order for the bride. They seem to feel that they are already spending money for the bridal shower gift and that's enough. Any ideas? I have a bridal this Saturday and would love to have different results this time.

I say "Thank you for coming to celebrate ___________'s day with us. ________ has picked out some things that she would like for her kitchen. When you came in you may have seen our display with some of the things she has chosen for you to choose from. You can help _________ furnish her kitchen two ways: of course, since this is a shower, please feel free to choose her gift from one of the cards on display. But you can also help her another way: if you see some things you'd like for your own kitchen and would like to purchase them, _____________ actually gets extra Pampered Chef products in the form of host benefits from today's show. So if you see something you want for your own kitchen, feel free!"

Nancy, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this wording! It was exactly what I was looking for and resulted in an 1100+ shower for me this last weekend! 1/2 the orders were for the bride and 1/2 for the attendees! The bride is so excited with her hostess benefits!

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I completely understand your struggle with getting guests to order for themselves at bridal showers. One tip that has worked for me is to emphasize the benefits of ordering for themselves, such as receiving free products or discounts on their purchases. You can also mention that by ordering at the bridal shower, they are helping the bride start her new home with high-quality kitchen products. Another idea is to offer a special incentive for guests who place an order at the shower, such as a free gift with purchase or a raffle for a larger prize. It's important to mention these benefits in a subtle and genuine way, without coming across as pushy or tacky. I hope these suggestions help and I wish you the best of luck with your upcoming bridal shower!
