I've just moved to a new neighborhood and other then putting my PC yard banner in my front yard, I've done no marketing in the neighborhood. This Saturday, we're having a meet the neighbors block party and we're to bring a dish to share. I could really use something great and easy to spark interest i the community to give my business a boost. I already plan on wearing some PC gear as well as carrying business cards or holiday minis and talking (of course)

Anyone got any ideas for a recipe? Maybe something in a bar pan?

Thanks in advance:D
 
I love Rocky Road Brownie Squares in the bar pan!
 
i bring the strawberry spinach salad everywhere ESPECIALLY when i want to meet new customers ......it works!
 
Clubhouse Chicken Squares (or whatever they are offically called... ) made in the bar pan....

Or my standby... the magic "frosted" cake, But only if you can de-pan it into front of everyone!
 
Hello there! Congratulations on your move to a new neighborhood and welcome to the community! It sounds like the meet the neighbors block party is the perfect opportunity for you to introduce yourself and your business to your new neighbors. For a delicious and easy dish, I highly recommend making our famous PC taco ring using the bar pan. It's a crowd-pleaser and always gets people talking! You can find the recipe in your PC recipe book or on our website. Another idea could be to make a variety of mini desserts using the mini muffin pan. This way, people can try different flavors and it's a great conversation starter to share the versatility of our products. Don't forget to bring some catalogs and order forms with you, in case anyone wants to place an order or host a party. And of course, wear your PC gear proudly and be ready to talk about the amazing products and opportunities we offer. I hope these ideas help and best of luck with your block party! Let me know how it goes. Happy cooking and sharing!
