My friend wants to do a catalog show, and she wants the October special. So we're going to close the first weekend of October. But I want to set her up online so people can order through my PWS. If I put in a start date of September, it will show September specials, correct? But if I put in a start date of October 1st, they will only be able to see her as a host starting October 1st, right?

I want people to be able to order for her before that, so she has a little more time to collect orders. Any suggestions?
 
Even if you set it as an Oct 1st show, people can still order through it as soon as you set it up.

The timing is simply not an issue here.
 
Set it up for october and the show will be available now. However the guest special is not showing yet. I just tested this by setting up a show for october and then going in as a guest.

Thank you! I'll have to keep checking for the guest specials, and make sure to host coach so she knows what they are to promote to her guests.
 
Set it up as an October show as Tasha suggested. The guest special will remain blank until October. But...in an e-invite and by word of mouth, you can have guests view the specials on your website. Just set up a title "October Specials" as a title for your news area. Since the oven mitt photo can be viewed now (Sep.), you can put a picture clip of the new striped towels. You are welcome to view my website to see how I set it up.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an October Catalog Show?

An October Catalog Show is a sales event where you showcase the Pampered Chef catalog to your customers, allowing them to place orders directly from the catalog. It’s a great way to highlight seasonal products and promotions while providing an easy shopping experience for your guests.

How does the Catalog Show work with my Personal Website (PWS)?

Your Personal Website (PWS) will serve as the online platform for your Catalog Show. Customers can browse the catalog, view products, and place orders directly through your PWS. You can promote your PWS link to your customers via email, social media, or during virtual gatherings.

Can I still host a Catalog Show if I have a virtual party scheduled?

Yes, you can host a Catalog Show alongside a virtual party. Just ensure that you communicate clearly with your customers about the different options available to them. They can choose to participate in the virtual party or place orders through the Catalog Show on your PWS.

What promotional materials can I use for my Catalog Show?

You can utilize various promotional materials such as digital flyers, social media posts, and email newsletters to promote your Catalog Show. Pampered Chef also provides resources and templates that you can customize to fit your style and brand.

How can I encourage my customers to shop from my Catalog Show?

To encourage shopping, consider offering incentives such as exclusive discounts, free shipping on orders over a certain amount, or a raffle for a Pampered Chef product. Engaging your customers with cooking tips, recipes, and product demonstrations can also spark interest and boost sales.
