Just want to know what people put in their host packets

I know to give them the host special, several catalogs, several outside order forms, the guest special so they can advertise. What else do you put in there? Maybe a recruiting flyer or something like that? Maybe you have a wonderful flyer that really covers the benefits of hosting or becoming a consultant. I used to be a consultant several years ago, and all the host benefits and costs are different. I'm trying to get up to speed before my show Saturday night. If you have any insight or words of wisdom, please pass them my way. Cristy
 
The host benefits are right in the show planner, so you don't need to add anything else about that.

I always include an opportunity brochure and I ALWAYS talk about the opportunity for the host to reduce the price of the starter kit during our coaching calls.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I include in my host packet?

Your host packet should include essential materials such as a host guide, product catalogs, order forms, and a sample recipe card. Additionally, consider including a personalized note and any promotional materials that highlight upcoming specials or incentives for hosting.

How can I make my host packets more engaging?

To make your host packets more engaging, consider adding fun and colorful visuals, such as photos of popular recipes made with Pampered Chef products. You can also include a small gift, like a kitchen tool or a sample product, to excite your hosts and encourage them to share their experiences with friends.

What tips can help my hosts effectively use their packets?

Encourage your hosts to review their packets thoroughly and familiarize themselves with the contents. Suggest they share the information with their guests during parties and use the recipe cards to demonstrate how easy it is to prepare delicious meals using Pampered Chef products. Remind them to reach out to you with any questions they may have.

How often should I update my host packets?

It’s a good practice to update your host packets regularly, especially when new products are launched or when there are changes to promotions or incentives. Aim to refresh your materials at least every season to keep them relevant and appealing to potential hosts.

What are some creative ways to deliver host packets?

You can deliver host packets in various creative ways, such as hosting a "packet pickup" party where potential hosts can come and learn more about hosting while receiving their materials. Alternatively, consider mailing the packets directly to hosts or using a fun delivery method, like a themed gift bag or basket, to make the experience memorable.
