How Did Everyone Make Out at the Babies R Us Pamper Mom Day?

[Chef Diane]

each month is a different fest.

What events are in June, Oct and Dec? I would like to contact our local BRU to see if I can sign up.

Thanks!
Tara

Tara, June is Dad's in training. Oct. is Babies Health Fest and Dec is their Holiday Open House. They have events all year call them and see what they have available. Aug is Womans health and Jan is Super Baby Shower. I had to share the dates with another consultant.

Always take new recruits to these types of things! They are great training opportunities.

Thanks Debbie!

I didn't get in to the BRU event for May, but I did a 4H event. I called EVERYONE who filled out a slip and told them that they won a free Kitchen Show or Cooking Class! I have 3 booked for June and four calling me back today with dates! When one lady asked what was involved I told her, "Well, since its a free show, you just have to give me names and addresses and I'll send out the invitations and we'll do a recipe or two, and I'll bring the ingredients. All you have to do is put out some chips and dip if you want and well, be home!"

I can't believe it worked!!!!

As of right now, I have 1 booked for June. Possibly, a couple orders and a vendor would like to book in September. I would of liked more, but I still have follow up calls to make. Anyone have a suggestion on what to offer the people I need to follow up with? On Saturday I offered everyone a free cooking show, as a way to pamper the Mom's and only the one took it. What should I say when I contact everyone that was there to butter them up to have a June Show?

First of all, show them a flyer on the host special. I have several hosts who are anxious to get the woven selections baskets and are doing catalog shows or getting bookings so they can get them in June.

My Babies R Us also booked me for a "Seminar" on a Tuesday night at 7pm. She said they also do afternoon seminars, but the nights have bigger crowds.

They register folks for the seminar. I am to do a seminar on nutrition. She was also interested in booking seminars on baby food, cooking for toddlers.

If you call them - make sure you tell them what kinds of seminars you can offer - Nutrition, Baby Foods, Toddler Foods, Cooking with Kids, etc.

Our BRU contact also asked about us coming to do a demo on healthy cooking and/or making baby food. Do you have information on what to do for these topics? I would think that since the audience has to register, they would have more potential to be serious contacts.

I would love to know what information we could present if you have anything put together...

Thanks.

Making baby food: Steam veggies in micro cooker, or cookware with steamer insert. mash using the nylon masher. Chop food with the food chopper. Formula using the quick stir pitcher.

Heathly food, the good for you cookbook. The mini muffin pan-small portions,

The prep bowl set for all of this, b/c you can use those for small portions. Freezing baby food, etc.

Just a few ideas. Good luck

I spoke with my BRU contact today and she also wants me to do a seminar in June or July about kid friendly meals and tools. Do you talk about bookings and recruitings at something like this?

 

[tada]

BRU SeminarI think I will do a handout on with a nutritious recipe - and have a coupon attached for a free cooking show.

I don't think the lady at my BRU cares if I book or recruit - she is very very generous. There may be other management at BRU that would care, so I want to make sure I don't burn any bridges. I'll be discreet at the seminar as far as booking and recruiting goes.

I want to make sure I am really giving out valuable info to the attendees - so any ideas are welcomed.

Hey Val,

What store were you at? I was at Naperville.

 

[AJPratt]

Maybe I should call my contact back or should I wait to see her in July at the Dad event?

The BRU Paper Mom day was a success for me. I have 2 that booked a June show and 1 booked in July. Plus a possible recruit and I'm not even done with all my phone call yet. Lord willing I will get more. Very well worth it.

first off, I'd definately ask (nicely) if you can speak about booking/recruiting. Even just one or two passes about it would be nice if they wouldn't mind. But if they dont want you going on and on about it, definately have literature there about it (postcard size "flyers" about recruiting & booking.. list major points, add your business card & mini catalog maybe?) and if you can't go into detail, just tack on a little ditty when you're explaining what PC is for those who don't know. you know "we normally do home parties where the host invites her friends & family over, i make a simple, quick yummy recipe for everyone to sample, and the host earns free & discounted products, plus other goodies!.. there's more information on booking shows at my table, plus info on the job opportunity.. feel free to talk to me about either option." and then just go on with your demo or whatnot. but i would DEFINATELY try to have literature there no matter what!

Did everyone have to speak about their table?
