Need Some Recipes and Your Advice

[cookn' katie]

Hi Guys~ I am doing a big HWC FR. I am a mammographer and I have a customer who is a MRI tech. I am bringing mammograms and talking about how easy mammograms are, breast self exam....... Then we will also have Breast MRIs there, a few surviors. First question, easy pink recipe ideas. I was thinking the pink lemonaide squares, strawberry ameretto pastries (maybe tinting the cool whip mixture pink) and other easy to eat and make ideas?
Next question, I am putting alot of work into this, I want a great turn out. Do I do it on my own, do I invite other PC consultants, do I invite a few other vendors?
Part of me wants to just do it on my own. Sales would be easier, but turn out maybe less. If I invite other PC people, would that be confusing? I have a good friend who does Upper Case Living. I invited her, but told her she had to donate some proceeds to the ACS. Do I invite one or 2 other Direct sales people? My main goal is to raise money. I am donating my commissions also. Any ideas? Also, if anyone has done something like this please let me know what worked, didn't work, etc. Thanks Katie

I did an HWC event with my Director and a clustermate a couple of years back. Our customers knew to order through their consultant, so that shouldn't be a problem for the PC customers. The confusing part would be when a customer who came through another vendor places a PC order, who would get that order?Customers love to walk away from things like this with info- so get handouts from a cancer center or the ACS that they can take away with them.

Would you give out the cookbook or pink recipes for shows held in May that are not HWC Fundraisers? Or would you use that as the teaser for guests to hold a HWC FR show? I like the idea of passing out ACS info....educating the guests....
