I just got a 2nd post card from Jean about recruiting success in September. I only recruited one person. I've heard people say to save these, but why? Should I throw one out? :confused:
 
I know that you were supposed to keep the postcards and take them to conference this year and you would get a surprise. I took mine, but it didn't matter if you had it or not, you got to take your picture in the space ship(?) (Was that right, my pic is packed up, getting ready for my move.) I hate to tell you to throw away a recruiting postcard! But you probably could throw one of them away since you really earned just one.
 
I got a 2nd one also. I wasn't for sure if there was some confusion because I just signed another consultant this weekend. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Too bad they didn't send another set of catalogs!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best strategies for using postcards to recruit in September?

To maximize postcard success in September, focus on creating eye-catching designs that highlight your unique selling points. Use clear calls to action, such as inviting recipients to a virtual cooking demo or offering a special promotion for new recruits. Additionally, consider personalizing the postcards with handwritten notes to make them feel more personal and engaging.

How can I track the effectiveness of my postcard recruiting efforts?

To track the effectiveness of your postcard campaigns, include a unique QR code or a dedicated landing page URL that recipients can visit for more information. This way, you can monitor how many people are engaging with your content. Additionally, ask new recruits how they heard about your opportunity to gauge the impact of your postcards.

What should I include on my postcards to attract potential recruits?

Your postcards should include a compelling headline, a brief description of the benefits of joining Pampered Chef, and testimonials from current consultants. Don't forget to add your contact information and social media handles, as well as a clear call to action that encourages recipients to reach out or attend an event.

Is there a specific time in September that is best for sending out postcards?

Mid-September is often a great time to send out postcards, as many people are returning from summer vacations and getting back into their routines. Additionally, consider timing your mailings to coincide with any special promotions or events you may be hosting, which can increase interest and engagement.

How can I make my postcards stand out from others?

To make your postcards stand out, use vibrant colors and high-quality images that reflect the Pampered Chef brand. Incorporate unique design elements, such as die-cut shapes or textured finishes. Additionally, consider offering a limited-time incentive, like a discount or free product for those who sign up within a certain timeframe, to create urgency and excitement.
