A successful approach involves organizing a scavenger hunt where products are set up at individual stations, allowing guests to engage with each product while completing a checklist.

I have a few recipes to sample and usually have SOME KIND of a demo near the end of the Show. I usually have them 11-2 or have done 1-4. On the invite I specify what time the demo will be - so if they are interested they come - if not, they usually stop in before. I do a Mystery Hostess SHow (and split the Hostess Benefits).
