Looking for Fun Ideas to Boost Sales: HWC Open House

In summary, the speaker is planning an HWC Open House next Saturday. Instead of a traditional cooking show, the event will be more casual and guests can come and go as they please. The speaker is looking for ideas to make the event fun and entice sales and bookings. They plan on giving away tickets for bringing friends and wearing pink, as well as selling cash & carry items at a discounted price. However, the speaker has not had good attendance at previous events and will be making phone calls to try and generate more interest. They have also been asked by a local winery to set up at their event this Saturday, and are hoping for more foot traffic. The event will also be a Help Whip Cancer, host, and customer appreciation

I'm having a HWC Open House next Saturday. I opted not to do a traditional cooking show so it's just a come-and-go event. I'm looking for something fun to do while people are here to entice sales and bookings.

I'm giving away tickets for bringing friends, wearing pink, etc...and I have some cash & carry items that I'll be selling at 30% off but I would really like it to be a FUN day.

I've never had good attendance at these before so I plan to be on the phone over the next week trying to round up some business.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
I was asked by a local winery to set up this Saturday. I sent 187 e-vites from my website (took forever) and I have had one yes, one person wants me to send them some orders to collect and one order. I have added another bunch of orders on from a host that had a bomb of a party. I sent about 37 mail invitations. Had one call to say sorry and no other responses!!!!

I really expect to get more foot traffic from the Winery's customers! It is a Help Whip Cancer, host and customer appreciation event.

Open Houses, etc. are not my cup of tea. That is why I am not giving away too much...because I have been burned before on these.

Good luck with your Open House. We can compair notes! I really hope we are both at least semi-successful!

Next year I'm going to do a cooking show. I've tried to do them in the past and have never had a good turnout...but I'll work harder next year to have a good list of people coming. I just think it will be more fun if I do a cooking show.

Ok I'm thinking of setting up a food table with entertaining and outdoor pieces along with the food and drinks. I'm going to have a 'build your own bruschetta' type thing with Strawberry Bruschetta (I just don't want it to go soggy if I make it ahead).

I'm also going to have a table set up with some tools and potatoes and garlic so everyone can try things out.

I was thinking of having a poster board on the wall with my open dates cards attached. If you pick a date, I enter your name into a draw for a prize.

Should I do something else? Oh I'll also do a door prize. I'm going to be giving away tickets for booking shows, placing orders, wearing pink, etc...
