Hi! I am just starting as a consultant after 15 years of loving PC products. I have 2 shows booked for later this month and 2 catalog shows going. My question is, am I allowed to do my own catalog show? I just hosted a cooking show 2 weeks ago and that is when I decided to sign on. Here is the problem, I talked my neighbor into doing a catalog show, but she is now saying she can't get anyone to order, in the meantime, I have had a few people at work who did not go to my party ask to order some things and the lady at the bank wants to place an order. I was going to put their orders with my neighbors show, but I have a feeling she is not going to come through now. Can I just make all these orders into a show and submit it as my own? I tried to find this on the PC website, but had no luck. Thanks in advance. I really like this site a lot. I have gotten tons of useful info here.

Yes, you can put those orders together for a catalog show! Then you can use the free product & 1/2 price items to get some extra stuff for your kit! (If it comes to $200 or more for free & $300 for 1/2 price)! Congrats on starting your biz!!!!!

Thank you for the quick reply! Do I also get the hostess special at 60% off?
I appreciate your help!
 
Yes, you are entitled to the host special. You just don't get a booking benefit if someone books from your show, which means you can't order guest special at that booked show. I do my own catalog show every couple of months. It saves my regulars (and irregulars ;)) on shipping.

Thanks Rae!! I appreciate your reply.
 
My pleasure. Best wishes on your new business.
 
I'm thinking I know the answer to this but just double checking. If someone books a catalog show off a cooking show, does the cooking show host get the monthly host special just like she would had a cooking show been booked?

Thanks,
Stephanie
 
Yes, they do.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a catalog show in Pampered Chef?

A catalog show is a type of party where guests can browse the Pampered Chef catalog and place orders without the need for a traditional in-home party. It allows hosts to collect orders from friends and family over a set period, usually a couple of weeks, and earn rewards based on the total sales.

How do I host a catalog show?

To host a catalog show, you simply need to connect with a Pampered Chef consultant who will provide you with catalogs, order forms, and any promotional materials. You can share these with your network through social media, email, or in person, encouraging them to place orders. The consultant will help you track orders and rewards.

What are the benefits of hosting a catalog show?

Hosting a catalog show allows you to earn free products, discounts, and exclusive offers based on the total sales generated from your show. It’s a flexible option that doesn’t require you to clean your home or prepare food, making it convenient for busy hosts.

How long does a catalog show typically last?

A catalog show usually lasts about 1-2 weeks, giving guests ample time to browse the catalog and place their orders. The exact duration can be discussed with your consultant to fit your schedule and preferences.

Can I combine a catalog show with an online party?

Yes, you can definitely combine a catalog show with an online party! Many hosts choose to promote their catalog show through social media platforms, creating an online event where guests can view products, ask questions, and place orders. This approach can help reach a wider audience and increase sales.
