Need Help Increasing Catalog Show Sales

[pampchefstacey]

Does anyone have any ideas on how a host can increase the amount of orders on her catalog show? She is very dissappointed because she has only been able to get 3 orders. She found out about a week or so after she started her book show another woman at her work started doing a Pampered Chef catalog show also. She said she is just too busy to even do an express show at her home.

Thank you in advance for your help. This is my first post.

ask her to email friends/family, take the catalogs with her everywhere. Have her spouse/significant other take the catalogs with him to work too!
Suggest types of people that you call to book shows for you (kid's friends' parents, church members, etc), and tell her to do that to solicit orders for her catalog show.

Orders multiplyGive some incentives. I always try to get my hosts excited about earning FREE products in addition to their host benefits. Now don't break the bank but offer maybe some things you have at your home that you bought especially for incentives or products maybe in your sample kit you don't want.
I also use door prizes, the good stuff, like small serving spatula, bamboo tongs, i-slice, SB recipe book, etc in a lovely little basket as an incentive.
I also offer FREE shipping to those who can gather orders from their friends or family for the host.

Just some ideas!

Tell her to do a squareboard to get her sales up $100 more....it's easy and people are more apt to do something like that. I put a squareboard in EVERY host pack and if they choose to use it....then so be it. I tell them, this is to help them, when actually, it's helping me out too!

What is a squareboard?

Thanks for the advice.

Erica may be talking about the Catalog Show Bingo. I found it here sometime last year. It's basically set up like a bingo board. The squares have different things like "Keep original closing date" and "Collect over $500 in orders." As the host reaches each goal, he/she crosses that box off. If they get "bingo," they earn something.

Someone else can probably attach a copy (I'm not at my home computer) or tell you where to find it here. I've been using it, and it's worked fairly well for me.

BTW: Welcome!

Don't forget to have her "guest" ask their friends, family, neighbors, etc. if they need anything!
