does anyone have a letter for the host of a catalog show? or maybe some suggestions on how to increase sales for a catalog show? any suggestions are much appreciated!! thanks
 
There are Catalog Show Planners on this site that are great. Go to files and do a search for catalogs. Also, this is a letter someone else posted, which I think is great:

HOW TO HAVE A $1,000 CATALOG SHOW!!!
Did you know that hosts who have $1,000 shows usually receive:
over $200 in FREE kitchen tools, plus
4 items of their choice at HALF PRICE (Yes, this includes the cookware!!), plus
an unlimited 30% DISCOUNT ?!?!?!

Many of my hosts have achieved the $1,000 show level and above.
You can too. Here’s how:
Get out that address book! Catalog Shows are so easy … you simply pass out catalogs around to your friends, family, and co-workers and collect orders. Remember, not everyone you ask will order, but you will be surprised at how many do! Use your “It’s Show Time! Planner” (located in this packet) to help you. Encourage your contacts to ask their friends and family to order too! 

Get on the phone NOW to let everyone know what you are doing. It is inevitable that you will play phone tag at least once, so it’s best to start as soon as possible! Be sure to let them know about rewards they can receive: this month’s guest special, free gifts they can earn as a host if they book a Show (Kitchen or Catalog), and an opportunity to let their friend or family member (you) receive free and discounted products. Follow the Checklist to help keep you on track and ensure a good response to your Show. Remember to keep catalogs with you at all times to show to familiar faces or if you are daring, to complete strangers. Also keep in mind that anyone from anywhere can order from your Catalog Show. I can even ship directly to them.

Share your enthusiasm about the tools and suggest those that you have found helpful in your own kitchen. Remember that over 50% of our product line is under $13.00 and the vast majority of people find something that will make their lives easier in the kitchen. Send a catalog to work with a relative or friend and have them collect orders for you.

Follow-up: People often lead such busy lives that it’s common for them to forget to your closing date. It is helpful if you call your guests that you haven’t heard from about 1 week before your closing. Ask them “I was just wondering if you found anything you wanted from the catalog I gave you? I want to make sure you don’t overlook the closing date of my Show… you don’t want to miss out on something.” If they are ready to order, you can take their order by phone or in person. Be sure to call me with any questions you may have.

Do your contacts a favor and give them a final reminder call about 2 days before your show ends. Just a quick call to their voice mail may do the trick!!
Together we can have a fantastic Pampered Chef® Catalog Show!!
Any questions just give me a call … Lee Anne Brock (260) 625-6513

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Catalog Show and how does it work?

A Catalog Show is a type of direct sales event where hosts gather orders from friends and family using a catalog, rather than hosting a traditional in-home party. The host shares the catalog, collects orders, and submits them to the consultant, who then processes the orders and delivers the products. This format is convenient for those who may not be able to attend a live event.

How can I show appreciation to my Catalog Show host?

Showing appreciation to your Catalog Show host can be done in several ways. Consider sending a personalized thank-you note, offering a small gift or Pampered Chef product, or providing them with exclusive discounts on future purchases. Acknowledging their efforts publicly, such as on social media, can also make them feel valued.

What should I include in a letter to my Catalog Show host?

Your letter to the Catalog Show host should express gratitude for their support and participation. Include details about the success of the show, any rewards they earned, and how their efforts contributed to the overall event. Personal touches, such as mentioning specific guests or orders, can make the letter more meaningful.

Are there any specific ideas for gifts or rewards for hosts?

Yes! Consider giving your hosts a Pampered Chef product that aligns with their interests or cooking style. Other ideas include gift cards, a personalized kitchen item, or a fun cooking accessory. You can also offer them a discount on their next order or a free product for hosting multiple shows.

How can I encourage more people to host Catalog Shows?

To encourage more people to host Catalog Shows, share success stories and testimonials from past hosts. Highlight the benefits, such as earning free products and discounts, and provide easy-to-follow instructions on how to host. Offering incentives, such as a special gift for new hosts, can also motivate potential hosts to get involved.
