I am a pretty new consulatant and i'm having an open house next week, can anyone give me any ideas on some good games/activities to do at the open house?
Thanks!!:)
 
Hi Beth! Good luck with your open house. If you go to FILES and type in A whole bunch of games there is a document there with games.

You might want to also go to SEARCH and type in games, and there are many other threads about this topic.

At most of my shows, in the beginning I have guests introduce themselves and tell me 1. Have you ever been to a PC show 2. If yes, what is your favorite product and why?

This will help your sales, especially hearing it from one customer to another. Stoneware is a biggie.

GOOD LUCK!
 
Here are a few ideas for games and activities you could do at your open house:1. Product Scavenger Hunt: Hide different products around your space and give guests a list of items to find. The first person or team to find all the items wins a prize.2. Product Bingo: Create bingo cards with different products or features on each square. As guests mingle and check out the products, they can mark off the squares that match. The first person to get a bingo wins a prize.3. Guess the Number of Products: Fill a jar with small product samples or items and have guests guess how many are in the jar. The person with the closest guess wins a prize.4. Product Trivia: Create a list of trivia questions about your products and have guests compete to see who knows the most. The person with the most correct answers wins a prize.5. DIY Product Demo: Set up a station with supplies for guests to create their own DIY version of one of your products. This is a fun way for guests to try out the product and see its benefits firsthand.6. Social Media Photo Contest: Encourage guests to take photos with your products and post them on social media using a specific hashtag. The best photo or most creative post wins a prize.7. Product Tasting: If you sell food or drinks, set up a tasting station for guests to sample your products. This is a great way to showcase the quality and taste of your products.8. Name That Product: Create a game where you describe a product without using its name and guests have to guess which product it is. The first person to guess correctly wins a prize.9. Product Pictionary: Similar to the classic game, but using your products as the subject to draw. Divide guests into teams and see who can correctly guess the most products.10. Spin the Wheel: Create a wheel with different products or prizes on each section. Guests can spin the wheel and win whichever prize the wheel lands on.Remember to have fun and be creative with your games and activities. They are a great way to engage guests and make your open house memorable. Good luck!
