Hi everyone!
I am going to do an Open house at my home to introduce all the new spring products. I was wondering if anyone has any good ideas on how to really get the people to come? I did one in the fall and my turnout could have been better, all though I did get 1 booking off of it, which was awesome. :D
Thanks!
 
I am doing mine next Saturday on the 25th. I am calling mine a customer appreciation show. I have all the new products so they will be out on display, and I will demo with some. I am going to raffle off host benefits, they get 2 tickets for showing up and extra if they were on time. They get a ticket for each outside order they bring or friend. They get a ticket if they place an order, 3 tickets if they book a party. I will demo one recipe to make it short and sweet. I am going to use scotts idea with the warm towels and our soap to demo that to pamper them because after all they are my best customers.
I am still working on other details, I will let you know!! :D
 
Keep us posted.....GREATHi Amanda,
I am looking to do my Kick Off Party as my show got cancelled Sunday with the storm we had.....
THESE ARE GREAT IDEAS....hope you don't mind if I steal them :o
That is a great idea.

I will actually pull street listings and names of my neighborhood and inivite everyone over to meet the "NEW PC Consultant on the block"......

What do you normally raffle off? I'm new to all this....

Thanks for all your help and ideas.

I'm doing a Tea partyand Product preview for the new products I have! will have raffles (with extra product on hand) games with door prizes, offer my past hosts the new SBCB for attending, recipe cards for the rest, new recipes and hopefully have some interested people! :D
 
Scared!I want to do a Open House but i'm scared no one will show up...if I just hand out flyers to neighbours.

Does anyone have a flyer they used for their open house?

I was thinking about using the new mini catalogs as the invite, and making up a small insert to staple on the inside page to tell about the Open House. That way I thought they could see the new product and have a reason to want to come. I did this with my fall open house, but I didn't put any incentives to come in the small flyer, such as prizes, which is where I think I went wrong.
 
this is what i am doing i emailed it to customers,sent it out in emails, and i will take some to neighbors

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Open House for a Spring Product Launch?

An Open House for a Spring Product Launch is an event where you showcase new products from Pampered Chef for the upcoming season. It allows potential customers to see, touch, and try out the products, while also providing an opportunity for existing customers to explore new offerings and gather ideas for their kitchens.

How can I attract attendees to my Open House event?

To attract attendees, consider using a combination of social media promotion, email invitations, and personal outreach. Create eye-catching flyers or digital invitations that highlight the new products and any special offers. Encourage attendees to bring friends and offer incentives, such as a raffle or discounts for those who attend.

What types of activities can I include in my Open House to engage guests?

Engaging activities can include live cooking demonstrations using the new products, hands-on cooking stations where guests can try out the items, and product sampling. You can also host a Q&A session to answer any questions about the products and provide tips on how to use them effectively in the kitchen.

Should I offer any promotions during the Open House?

Yes, offering promotions during the Open House can encourage attendees to make purchases. Consider offering exclusive discounts on new products, bundle deals, or a special gift with purchase. Additionally, you could run a raffle for attendees who place orders during the event to create excitement and encourage sales.

How can I follow up with attendees after the Open House?

Following up with attendees is crucial for maintaining engagement. Send a thank-you email expressing your appreciation for their attendance, and include a recap of the event along with links to shop the featured products. You can also invite them to join your mailing list for future updates and promotions, and encourage them to reach out with any questions or feedback.
