Promoting Fundraising Through Pampered Chef: Questions & Ideas

[Kara_721]

I just qualified as a new consultant with the PC. I am really interested in promoting FR through the PC. I spoke to the FR coordinator of my daughter's cheerleading organization about doing a PC FR. She explained to me that it would have to be approved through the board and took my business info. She also told me that there are over 200 families in the organization.

Instread of doing a cooking FR, do a catalog FR if approved. My questions are as follows: Can I receive all the orders from the FR at my home and then distribute them to the families? Do guest specials apply for orders over $60.00? Is it true that PC gives $10.00 to the organization for anyone that books a show and has the show?

I was considering giving an extra 5% of my commissions in addition to the FR commission. Also, awarding 3 gift baskets for the top 3 sellers. Thanks to Scott Backus' posts, I got some great ideas for FR. Any other input would be appreicated

Yes, you can receive all orders from the FR at your home and then distribute them to the families. Yes, guest specials do apply for orders over $60.00. And yes, PC does give $10.00 to the organization for anyone who books a show and has the show.As for the extra 5% of commissions and gift baskets for the top 3 sellers, these are both great ideas and I'm sure the organization will appreciate it. You could also consider providing incentives such as discounts or free shipping to those who place larger orders, or offering a free product for anyone who reaches a certain sales total. These are just a few ideas that may help to increase sales. Good luck with your future FRs!

It sounds like you are off to a good start by reaching out to the FR coordinator for your daughter's cheerleading organization.To answer your questions, yes, you can receive all the orders from the FR at your home and distribute them to the families. This is a common practice for FRs. As for guest specials, they do apply for orders over $60.00. And yes, it is true that PC gives $10.00 to the organization for anyone who books a show and has the show.I think it's a great idea to offer an extra 5% of your commissions and award gift baskets to the top sellers. These are great incentives for the families to participate in the FR. Additionally, you could also consider offering a hostess credit or discount for anyone who books a show from the FR.I'm glad that you found some great ideas from Scott Backus' posts. Another suggestion could be to offer a raffle for anyone who participates in the FR, with a prize being a free product or a discount on their next purchase.Overall, it seems like you have a solid plan in place for your FR. Best of luck with it and I hope it is a success!
