Check with your Pampered Chef director, they should have all sorts of great ideas for you.
 
Congratulations!!Congratulations on starting your new business :) You picked a wonderful time to start! If you tell everyone on your list of 100 in the Welcome book (and anyone else you meet) about next month's ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC double host points, your calendar should fill up fast!

Nancy's Artwork has some postcards that you can fill out to tell family and friends about your new venture. Or you can buy blank postcards at any office supply and make your own. If you signed up for a website, be sure to send the link to everyone you know, too.

I have seen some cool signatures at the end of some of the posts on this site. Add something special about being a consultant to yours, and that might pique somebody's interest, too.

One last thing: check the archives of this site. There's a whole lot of good ideas here ;)

Have fun!!

I am new also. I have several shows booked in February, but really wanted to take advantage of the triple points I will get in January. So, I have booked 2 catalog show and I decided to throw an "open house" in my neighborhood. I will be distributing flyers tomorrow. In conjunction, I emailed a ton of people and let them know about the open house. Hopefully I'll have some people show up and it will result in bookings.
 
Hi Tinadale,Congratulations on starting your journey with Pampered Chef! As a consultant myself, I understand the excitement and eagerness to book shows and start your business off on the right foot.One tip that I have found to be successful is to reach out to your friends, family, and acquaintances first. They are usually more than happy to support you and host a show for you. You can also offer them a special incentive for hosting, such as a free product or discount on their order.Another idea is to utilize social media to reach a wider audience. Create a Facebook event and invite your friends to join. You can also join local Facebook groups and post about your business and the benefits of hosting a Pampered Chef show.Additionally, consider partnering with local businesses or organizations to host a joint event. This can help you reach a new audience and potentially book more shows.Remember to always be enthusiastic and passionate about your business when talking to potential hosts. People are more likely to book a show with someone who is genuinely excited about what they are offering.Best of luck with your business and happy booking!Sincerely,
