bethcooks4u said:I was there too. I was right behind the gal that talked about it and gave her my card. She has already emailed and I've asked for more details.
Basically what she said was that you tell everyone to bring quarters to the event. You decide on what you need for each item (did you get it half price or ??). Then you pass around a "bucket" and collect so many quarters per paddle for the item you are auctioning. In exchange for the x number of quarters they get a "paddle" with a number on it. They can put more quarters in and get more than one paddle for an item. Then you draw a number and the one whose paddle has that number wins the item.
If I get more information about this I'll share.
DebbieJ said:Yes, it was Tom Marsten that used to do this. I remember Laura (you all remember Laura, I'm sure) talking about it on CS.
pamperedlinda said:so do they give the paddle when they put in the quarters? In the website that Sandra posted it looks like you 'own' one paddle for the evening and use it for every auction.
Your description makes a little more sense - the more chances you put in, the more chances you have of winning.
Woudn't it be easier to use 2-part tickets and have a booth set-up to purchase them?
I'm thinking about offering something like this to my son's school as a fundraiser.
bethcooks4u said:The one that Sandra posted is entirely different than what this is about. The point of this was to give back to customers, create loyalty and fun, get bookings and future business. Something you'd do at a customer appreciation event. They get items for just a few quarters but you get all the quarters that go into the "pot" (hopefully enough to cover your cost) and get to clear out your extras closet or attic. Everyone's happy.
I am so wanting to do this but it is so hard to get people to come out for those events when I have them. I don't want to do this and only have a couple of people "bidding".

Quarter Mania is a fun and interactive event where guests have the opportunity to purchase Pampered Chef products at discounted prices by bidding with quarters on various items.
Quarter Mania events are typically hosted by Pampered Chef consultants and invitations are sent out to their customers and potential customers. If you are interested in attending a Quarter Mania event, reach out to your local consultant to see if they have any upcoming events.
At Quarter Mania, you can find a variety of Pampered Chef products, including kitchen tools, cookware, bakeware, and pantry items. The specific products available may vary depending on the consultant hosting the event.
No, consultant discounts are not applicable at Quarter Mania events. However, you can still earn host rewards if you purchase a certain amount of products during the event.
At Quarter Mania events, guests bid on items using quarters. Once the bidding is over, guests can pay for their purchases with cash or credit card. Quarters will also be accepted as a form of payment if you have any leftover from your bids.
