colegrovet said:I have 12 flat clipboards.. and my shows average 10 people.. but I've had a couple of shows with over 20... I don't think it matters how many you have, there will come a time where you don't have enough..
count your blessings when you run into that problem
The guests will understand why there aren't enough for everyone. And you can pass the boards out to the guests who seem to need them the most first. Obviously, someone who is sitting at a table doesn't need one, since they can put their order form down on the table. And way to go, having more people than 12! Woo-hoo!

Lapboards are versatile kitchen tools that provide a stable surface for food preparation, serving, or even as a portable workspace. They are especially useful for activities like chopping vegetables, rolling dough, or serving appetizers during gatherings.
Buying 12 lapboards at the beginning of the season could be a strategic decision to ensure you have enough for personal use, gifts, or to sell during the busy holiday season. It also allows you to take advantage of any bulk purchasing discounts or promotions offered by Pampered Chef.
To effectively sell the lapboards, consider hosting a cooking demonstration or a virtual party where you showcase their versatility. Utilize social media to promote their features and benefits, and offer special deals or bundles to entice potential buyers.
In your cooking demonstrations, you can showcase lapboards by using them for various tasks such as chopping ingredients, serving cheese and charcuterie boards, or even as a base for baking. Highlight their ease of cleaning and portability to appeal to your audience.
Return and exchange policies may vary depending on the Pampered Chef guidelines. It's best to check the specific terms related to your purchase. Generally, if the lapboards are unused and in their original packaging, you may be able to return or exchange them within a certain timeframe.
