Hi:

I am doing a Friday night show in a couple weeks with a bunch of PC veterans. They are extremely NOT interested in a lengthy demo or even the interactve show format too much. They want to drink, eat, see the new products and socialize with each other. In addition, there will be a PartyLite person there. Here's what I'm thinking of doing:
1. Have the Mojitos ready; we'll assemble and serve the greek Cheese Torta together. While we're doing that, I can lead a "Have it, Love it, Want it" conversation.
2. While everyone is enjoying the torta, show off the new products. I ordered the big sample pack so I do have many of the products. I am thinking of showing them in related groups (all the new knives, all the new outdoor things) and letting them know where the others are in the catalog (I don't have the grill basket for example).
3. Before I hand out the catalogs, review hosting and the biz oppty very quickly.
4. Hand out catalogs and drawing slips and let them go wild!

What do you think? Any ideas around talking about the new products?

Thanks so much!
 
I think its great. I try to keep my shows short in general. I myself have a short attention span and I know I just wanna shop!
 
Sounds like a good plan for a group of veteran guests. If you want to get people thinking about the new products, you could ask everyone to think of non-obvious uses for them, and give a prize to the person with the most outrageous idea.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some engaging product demonstrations I can include in my 20-minute show?

To make your show engaging, focus on a few key products that showcase their versatility and ease of use. Consider demonstrating a quick recipe that highlights multiple tools, such as a salad or a dip. Use visual aids and encourage participation by inviting guests to help with simple tasks, like chopping or mixing. This interactive approach keeps the energy high and makes the products memorable.

How can I effectively manage my time during a 20-minute show?

Time management is crucial for a successful show. Start by creating a detailed outline of your presentation, allocating specific time slots for each segment, such as introductions, product demonstrations, and Q&A. Practice your show multiple times to ensure you stay within the time limit. Use a timer or a clock to keep track during the actual presentation, and be prepared to adjust on the fly if necessary.

What strategies can I use to engage Pampered Chef veterans during my show?

To engage Pampered Chef veterans, acknowledge their experience and invite them to share their favorite tips or recipes. Highlight new products or techniques that might interest them, and encourage discussions about their cooking experiences. You can also create a fun trivia game related to Pampered Chef history or products, which can spark excitement and camaraderie among attendees.

How can I incorporate storytelling into my presentation?

Storytelling can make your presentation more relatable and memorable. Share personal anecdotes about how Pampered Chef has impacted your life or cooking journey. You can also tell stories about how certain products have helped customers solve problems in the kitchen. Relating these stories to the products you demonstrate can create an emotional connection with your audience.

What follow-up actions should I take after the show to maximize sales?

After the show, follow up with attendees by sending personalized thank-you messages and offering exclusive promotions on the products demonstrated. Encourage them to reach out with any questions or to place orders. Consider creating a social media group or email list to keep them informed about future shows, new products, and cooking tips. This ongoing engagement can help build relationships and drive sales.
