I'm looking for suggestions to liven up my upcoming combo open house... I have a friend who is a consultant for Lia Sophia and I have 0 bookings so this is my attempt to stay alive and trying to get some business... and earn free jewelry!

I'm not going to do demos but just have food prepared and products displayed. I'm thinking I'd give a little intro on specials and stuff and same for the Lia Sophia. We are having a couple drawings for free stuff and I included on my invite incentives to earn more entries (such as bring a friend get 5 entries, book a show get 10 entries, etc.)

Any ideas for a game or something?

Thanks!
 
not really for a game, but what about having stations around where people can try pc stuff (and make yummy edibles while at it)... I am pm'ing you with a cute idea from conference...
 
I did a holiday open house with Lia Sophia last year...I premade the recipes and cooked them there...this time of year I would have everything pre made...most people who will come have seen you demo before :)

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some creative themes I can use for my Pampered Chef open house?

Consider themes like a "Taste of Italy" where you showcase Italian recipes using Pampered Chef products, or a "Healthy Cooking" theme that focuses on nutritious meals. You could also have a "Baking Bonanza" where guests can try out various baking tools and recipes. Themed events can create a fun atmosphere and encourage guests to engage more with the products.

How can I incorporate interactive cooking demonstrations into my open house?

Set up a cooking station where you can demonstrate how to use specific Pampered Chef tools while preparing a dish. Invite guests to participate by helping with simple tasks, such as chopping vegetables or mixing ingredients. This hands-on experience allows guests to see the products in action and encourages them to ask questions.

What types of incentives can I offer to encourage guests to make purchases?

Consider offering exclusive discounts or free gifts with purchases made during the open house. You could also run a raffle for attendees who make a purchase, giving them a chance to win a Pampered Chef product. Additionally, offering a special bundle deal can entice guests to buy more items at a discounted rate.

How can I create a welcoming atmosphere for my open house?

Make sure your space is clean and organized, and consider using decorations that match your theme. Provide comfortable seating and refreshments to make guests feel at home. Playing soft background music can also enhance the ambiance. A warm welcome and friendly conversation will help guests feel more relaxed and engaged.

What promotional materials should I prepare for my open house?

Prepare brochures or catalogs showcasing Pampered Chef products, along with recipe cards that highlight how to use them. Consider having a sign-up sheet for guests to receive future updates and promotions. Visual aids, such as product displays or a slideshow of recipes, can also help capture attention and provide information effectively.
