I am a new consultant and a few friends of mine who are consultants of other companies (Mary Kay, Avon, Stampin Up, and Home Interiors) are having a home show bingo on 11/11. I need any ideas you have. I went to a similar home show bingo 3 years ago but PC was not represented.

We are thinking of charging $10 per ticket and having 5 games per consultant for bingo prizes and also having 1 or 2 door prizes.

Questions:
1) what should I use as prizes?
2) what should I present?
3) What specials should I offer to people who place an order or book that night?
4) Any other ideas ?
5) should I give a catalog (even summer catalogs if I can buy them from consultants before 11/11) to each person who attends (we hope to have at least 50 people or should I order mini-catalogs?

Thanks,
Amanda
 


Hi Amanda,

Congratulations on hosting your first home show bingo! It sounds like a fun and unique event that will definitely attract a lot of people. Here are some tips and suggestions that I have for you:

1) For prizes, you can use any of our products that are popular and useful in the kitchen. Some ideas could be a set of our knives, a cookware set, or even a gift certificate for a cooking class. You can also consider partnering with other consultants to offer a variety of prizes from different companies, making it more appealing for the guests.

2) During your presentation, I would suggest highlighting the unique features and benefits of our products, as well as sharing some of your favorite recipes and tips for using them. You can also have some product demonstrations and let the guests try out the products themselves.

3) To encourage people to place orders or book parties, you can offer a special discount or free gift for those who do so at the event. You can also have a raffle for those who place orders or book parties that night, with a chance to win a bigger prize.

4) Some other ideas for the event could be having a theme for each game of bingo, such as "Baking Bonanza" or "Savory Snacks," and offering prizes that relate to each theme. You can also have a snack table with some of our products for guests to try, and offer recipe cards for them to take home.

5) It's always a good idea to give out catalogs at events like this, as it allows guests to browse through our products and potentially place an order later on. You can either give out full-size catalogs or mini-catalogs, depending on your budget and preference.

I hope these suggestions help, and I wish you all the best for your home show bingo! Remember to have fun and enjoy the event, and your guests will too. Let me know if you need any further assistance or have any other questions. Happy hosting!

Best,

Pampered Chef Consultant

The first person to complete a line or a full card wins a prize, making the event more engaging and encouraging participation.

How can I encourage guests to participate in Home Show Bingo?

To encourage participation, explain the rules clearly at the beginning of the show and emphasize the fun aspect of the game. Offer enticing prizes for winners, such as Pampered Chef products or discounts on future orders. Additionally, create a lively atmosphere by being enthusiastic and encouraging guests to interact with each other during the game.

What types of prizes work best for Home Show Bingo?

Prizes that resonate with your audience are ideal. Consider offering popular Pampered Chef items, gift certificates, or exclusive discounts on future purchases. You can also include fun kitchen gadgets or themed gift baskets to make the prizes more appealing and encourage excitement among guests.

How can I customize the bingo cards for my Home Show?

You can customize bingo cards by including specific Pampered Chef products that will be featured during your show. Use online bingo card generators to create unique cards for each guest, ensuring a mix of items to keep the game interesting.

To manage the game effectively, keep the pace lively and ensure everyone understands the rules.
