I have a show tonight and want to incorportate The love it/ have it/ gotta have it. I know some consultants give out recipe cards. I don't have any.
Any other ideas. I was thinking having 3 different colored tickets. 1 for love it, 2 for have it and 3 for gotta have it. The one with the most from each colored ticket, will get a free.. something.
Any ideas? Does my idea sound tacky? How should I start it?
Thank you all for your creativity.:chef:
 
I use candy, got that from someone else on here. It's fun to use smarties, cause' there so smart for wanting/loving/having pampered chef products.....get it?? Ha!!!
The hostess throws the candy out to the people who say it, the one with the most candy and or wrappers ...wins!
 
I use tickets from a roll I got at Walmart for $6. Your way sounds fun...not tacky at all!
When you're getting ready to start your demo, you can say "While we make this recipe, we're going to play a little game...and there are prizes!!" and then explain the tickets.
Now, I realize I'm replying a day after you posted and your show is probably over...so you'll have to tell us how you did it and how it worked!
 
Just to add my 2 cents.. I use a deck of cards... the other day I couldn't find my cards so I used a pack of invitations...
 
I throw out hershey's kisses. I don't give a prize at the end. I basically just throw out candy..... anyone askind a question, anyone giving ideas, anyone smiling, anyone falling asleep..... i tell them i am just going to be throwing candy so they need to pay attention.
i also kinda target it to the group. if it is one that is more structured and focused we do stick to the "rules" a bit more, if i am already losing them i just throw candy to try to keep them involved...

Thank you. Actually, I didn't have time to do it. It was a crazy day before the show. Then I get there are she bought ingredients for 3 RECIPES. This was after we went over the menu:( Not to mention I have to make a cake and she doesn't own a hand mixer. OMG! My arm still hurts from trying to mix it smooth. I guess we all have one of those shows. I wouldn't have minded it so much, but the guests were way to quiet. I tried so hard to get them to talk, ask questions, talk about there products. I don't even think the game would have helped. But I am going to try it for my Wednesday show. I like the candy idea. But I do think I am going to give out a small prize with the one who has the most. Thanks for your help! Will let you know how it worked.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Love It/Have It/Gotta Have It concept?

The Love It/Have It/Gotta Have It concept is a fun and engaging way to encourage guests at your Pampered Chef show to express their interest in products. It involves categorizing items into three tiers: "Love It" for items they adore, "Have It" for items they already own, and "Gotta Have It" for items they want to purchase. This interactive approach helps create excitement and drives sales.

How can I incorporate Love It/Have It/Gotta Have It into my show?

You can incorporate this concept by setting up a display of products and asking guests to place stickers or tokens next to items they Love, Have, or Gotta Have. This visual representation not only makes it easy for everyone to participate but also helps you gauge interest in specific products, making it easier to tailor your sales pitch.

What activities can I do to make the Love It/Have It/Gotta Have It concept more interactive?

Consider hosting a mini-game where guests can win small prizes for participating. For example, you could have them share why they categorized a product in a certain way, or hold a raffle for those who engage with the concept. This adds an element of fun and encourages more interaction among guests.

How can I use the feedback from Love It/Have It/Gotta Have It to boost my sales?

After gathering feedback, take note of the products that received the most "Gotta Have It" responses. Highlight these items during your closing sales pitch, emphasizing their popularity and any special offers. You can also follow up with guests after the show to remind them of their interests, which can help convert leads into sales.

Are there any tips for presenting the Love It/Have It/Gotta Have It concept effectively?

To present this concept effectively, be enthusiastic and engaging. Explain the categories clearly and encourage everyone to participate. Use humor and storytelling to create a relaxed atmosphere, and be sure to walk around and interact with guests as they make their selections.
