Joint Jewelry-Pampered Chef Party: Hosting Tips & Ideas

[beepampered]

A Premier Jewelry consultant is hosting a joint jewelry-Pampered Chef party at the end of this month. I like her as a person and we've been talking about doing a PC party since last summer so I'm ready to do it even though I'm not expecting much as far as sales since there is divided loyalties.

Anyone have a joint-party invite I could adjust? Ideas on how to pull the two products together? She's thinking something for Valentine's Day. Advice for host coaching?

Thanks for anything thoughts....

Hee Hee....my mind went someplace completely different when I saw the title of this thread....I was going to suggest a nice batch of brownies.

You and me both ChefBeckyD!!

But seriously, I have done several "combo" shows with Silpada, Tastefully Simple and one with WeekEnders (which is a wierd combo, but hey, a show's a show!). I do well enough, and I figure I wouldn't have made any money sitting home. Plus, you never know who you might meet.

I have done demo's at all of these shows. Just kept it shorter than usual. One dish, a quick one and then have products around for the quests to touch and play with.

Ideas: how about showing the prep bowls as a place to keep rings, etc in the kitchen while you cook. I just thought a "sparkle and shine party" idea. But can't think of how PC could fit into that. Or, wait, how about decorate your neck/ears, etc as well as your kitchen??? Or back to the decorate, how about decorate cookies or a cake. Just the first things that came out of my cupcake filled head (post-birthday cake hangover!)

I have done a joint show with a Home Interiors consultant, and I got a decent sized amount of sales.

And yeah...my mind went in the same direction as some of the rest of you when I read the title of the thread!

Thanks for helping me see the humor in my posting. Any of you have an invitation that you used.

Perhaps brownies would be good - just no illegal extras...
