I thought I'd start a thread of tips/ideas on how to make your fall kickoff/open house/last chance, first glance successful.

I'm doing my first fall kickoff (as a last chance, first glance) and am hoping it will be very successful (enough for a aug and sept show, plus *lots* of bookings).

Any ideas?? How do you approach bookings? Sales? Any cute ideas or things that have been successful in the past?
 
The most important thing is to get people there. Don't rely on mail, or email invites. You have to call them and then do reminder calls. Just like you would coach a host to do. As for ideas on approaching bookings. There is a great interview on CC about this. The consultant that is talking says to offer your services to the prospective host. The way she says it really makes a difference. I suggest taking a listen to the video... https://www.pamperedchef.com/repsonly/activities_events/nmte.html
 
What a great suggestion!
 
Suggestions on TEAM Kick-Off Meetings???? My Hosp. Director is having me help plan ours.
 



Hi there! First of all, congratulations on your first fall kickoff! It's such an exciting time and I'm sure it will be a success. Here are some tips and ideas that have worked for me in the past:1. Utilize social media: Create a Facebook event for your kickoff and invite your friends, family, and potential customers. You can also post pictures of the products and promotions to generate interest.2. Offer a special promotion: Everyone loves a good deal, so consider offering a special discount or free gift for those who attend your kickoff. This will not only entice people to come, but also encourage them to make a purchase.3. Make it interactive: Instead of just showcasing the products and taking orders, make your kickoff an interactive experience. Have guests try out the products, do a cooking demonstration, or even have a mini cooking competition.4. Bookings game: Create a fun game or activity that will encourage guests to book a party with you. For example, have them spin a wheel or pick a number from a jar to win a prize or discount on their party.5. Offer incentives for bookings: In addition to the game, offer incentives for guests who book a party with you during the kickoff. This could be a free product, extra host rewards, or a special discount.6. Follow up: After the kickoff, make sure to follow up with all the guests who attended. Send them a personalized thank you note and follow up on any bookings or purchases they made.I hope these ideas help make your fall kickoff a success! Remember to be enthusiastic and have fun, and your guests will surely have a great time too. Good luck!
