I'm a new consultant... first party is on Monday. My next party is July 1 and the host only had email addresses for her guests. She assumed I would email them so I did and a few got returned that I finally got sent and a few people have emailed me back with declines but want to see a book.

I'm not sure if I should have given the invitation to the host to email or if this is how I should have done it.

What do you guys do and what seems to work better?

Thanks for any info. (and sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question...)
 
Do you have a website? I would sign in as the host and send the e-invites from there.

I haven't qualified so I don't have a website yet. As soon as I am eligible to do the website I will. I didn't know you could send invites from there - that is probably what I will do.

Thanks for the info!
 
You don't have to be qualified to sign up for a website. GET IT NOW!!!!

You can set up your shows on there and make money!
 
I actually have a question about this. I know that unqualified consultants cannot get online orders from the website until they qualify. If this is true, how can we set up shows with it? (I was waiting until I qualify to set up a website).

Thanks!
Erika
 
You cannot get individual online orders--meaning orders from someone who isn't invited to a show, but you can set up your shows on your site and take show orders from day 1. Trust me, I did it and my kick off show was $800!
 
Wow! I didn't realize that. I thought that "no online orders" meant "NO online orders".

Thanks for telling me!

I will set it up today!

Wow! I didn't know that either. I thought that you had to qualify before you could get the website. I'm going to look into it tomorrow and sign up! Thanks for the info! For my first shows I am sending people to my recruiters website but I would prefer them going to mine!!

Thanks for the info!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key elements to include in an email invitation for a Pampered Chef party?

When crafting your email invitation, be sure to include the date, time, and location of the party, a brief description of what guests can expect, and a personal touch that reflects your enthusiasm. Additionally, include RSVP details and a link to your Pampered Chef website for easy access to products.

How can I make my email invitation stand out?

To make your email invitation stand out, use an eye-catching subject line, incorporate engaging visuals like product images or party themes, and personalize the message to each recipient. Adding a fun anecdote or a special offer can also capture attention and encourage attendance.

What is the best time to send out email invitations for a Pampered Chef party?

It’s best to send out your email invitations at least two weeks in advance to give guests ample time to plan. Consider sending a reminder a few days before the party to boost attendance. Weekends or evenings are often ideal for sending invitations when people are more likely to check their emails.

How can I encourage guests to RSVP to my email invitation?

To encourage RSVPs, make it easy for guests to respond by including a clear call-to-action, such as a simple reply to the email or a link to an RSVP form. You can also create a sense of urgency by mentioning limited seating or special offers for those who confirm their attendance.

Should I follow up with guests after sending the email invitation?

Yes, following up is a great practice! A friendly reminder email a few days before the party can help increase attendance. You can also reach out personally to those who haven’t responded to gauge their interest and encourage them to attend.
