Is an Affordable Cooking Demo a Better Option for Fitness Clients?

[pcbrooke]

I have been chatting with a women that is interested in doing a power cooking show for her "clients" she is a group fitness instructor along with a weight loss coach etc...

so I mentioned that we could have it as a normal show where the host buys the ingredients needed etc and only do 3 recipes and have the host benefits...eat one dish at the show and auction off the other 2.

or they could pay $25 dollars and i will buy all the ingredients everyone will make and take home 3 meals with $15 credited to their order...so only $10 for the meals and the "class".

she just emailed me a response saying that the "clients" dont want to spend any money but still want a class. no one wanted to be the host and buy all of the ingredients and yet the $25 was too high for them to consider the class..

so thoughts suggestions opinions??

Does the instructor want to be the host? Would you be willing to buy the ingredients, allow them to SAMPLE one or you take the other 3 home?

Might get leads and sales from the demo.

Sounds like they want a caterer.

they want a cooking class without shelling out any money....i just dont know how to approach it without losing anything in the processthe instructor does not want to be the host because that opens up a door of having to host for every other direct sales that she is in contact with. she is trying to help me out since my hubby lost his job and just trying to find something that will work and not be a waste of my time and not make any money.keep your thoughts coming!

How about if they each bring an ingredient??

Great idea, gailz! If they say no to that...

Can you scratch the power cooking, and instead do an affordable cooking demo? If the class is into fitness, you can do a healthy option and show how our tools make it easy.

If they aren't willing to shell out money for the ingredients, do you think they'll "shell out" for product? You may want to think about that before spending money on the demo.

Where will the demo be hosted? At the fitness center? Could you make it a Spring Product Launch Party? You could invite all your contacts and she can invite all her contacts. It would help bring in people for the fitness center and maybe solidify sales for your time and energy. Do 15m jamaican jerk chicken with pineapple or nectarine salsa as your demo. Let people see new products.
