Hi all,
I plan on sending an email this weekend to my friends and others announcing my business. I want to include enough info, but not too much. (I also plan on emailing the people that have agreed to host a show or attend my open house separately).
Here's a sample of what I want to say:
"I hope this note finds you well. I am excited to announce I have started my own business with The Pampered Chef! This will not only give me a chance to practice my cooking hobby, but to share kitchen tips with others and help them earn free items for their cupboards!
I would appreciate your help in starting my business. Here are some ways you can help!
1. Host a cooking show in your home. It's a great way to get your friends together, learn a recipe, and test out all our great products (how many stores let you do that?). Plus, hosts can earn FREE products for their own kitchen!
2. Host a catalog show, especially you out of towners. I send you all the catalogs to share with family and friends, and you coordinate the orders. And you can still qualify for FREE products for your kitchen!
3. Know anyone gettng married? Ask me about wedding showers & bridal registries!
4. Did you know TPC can help you with a fundraiser for your school, church or other non-profit? Ask me how you can earn up to 15% or more for your group!
5. If you are in or near Houston, ask my about my August Open House, where I'll sneak preview the new fall items!
Please feel free to forward my information on to your friends...I love referrals! Thanks again for your friendship & support."
What do you guys think? Is it enough to get a response, and not too much to bog anyone down?
Like I said, I am communicating with those that have already expressed interest separately. I also thought about sending these one-on-one to personally address and change the "hope you are well" to something more personal to get better response. I only have 22 to send
Thanks!
