I got this idea from a fellow cluster member:

to encourage guests to spend more...


Pick a pumpkin
If guests spend $60 + they get to Pick a Pumpkin. I have found some little plastic pumpkins at Hobby Lobby. Inside the pumpkins I put a slip of paper with a prize. Some include $1 cash, Seasons Best, Citrus Peeler, Free Cooking Show (I buy the ingrediants)ect... I dont tell the guests what the potential prizes could but, it gets them excited to see what they could possibly win and it increases your sales at the same time. :)

Cute idea!
 
I love this idea because it can be adapted to any season/occasion!
 
That is cute! You could also do it like the "book to look". Or they could pick a prize for ordering 60, or if they book....:)

I absolutely love this idea! Not only does it add an element of excitement for the guests, but it also encourages them to spend more in order to have a chance at a prize. I especially love the idea of including a free cooking show as one of the potential prizes. It's a great way to showcase our products and potentially gain new customers. Thank you for sharing this creative idea with the cluster! Keep up the great work! :)
