I would like to send an email to past customers and hosts to let them know I am taking my business full time.

I would like to ask for referrals in the email (hosts and consultants), as well as asking them to host a show.

Does anyone have wording suggestions you can send my way? I have a tendancy to focus on my needs, not theirs, so I want to ensure I am offering what THEY need in the email I send.

TIA!
 
Got no help for ya, but I'm hoping good things.

Congratulations! How about offering an incentive? A sale or percentage off. Or Pay the price of the date for a stoneware bar pan (book on the 1st get it for $1 at the close of their show, purchased with their host discount... book on the $10th, get it for $10, etc). Or a free 8-inch skillet to every May host with at least $300 sales? Don't forget you will purchase it at the close of teir show, using their discount, and get bookings.

Good luck!

Why not book a fair or two? I get my most randon bookings and leads that way. Just announce it on your newsletter.
 
Just bumping this up for more input from you all...
 
Ok, here is a quick stab at it, I advice working with it to make it more like you:

Hi, I've just stepped up my business and am now doing Pampered Chef full-time. This means that I have more daytime openings for shows. I'd like to be doing x shows a month. Are you interested in doing a show? Have you been thinking about it but haven't called yet? Now is a great time to call and arrange a show. If you pick one of the below dates in addition to all the great benefits that you get for hosting a show I'll give you (offer incentive here - % off/free host special/$ FPV). Show dates and times currently open are:

May x, y, z

June x, y, z

July x, y, z

I'm doing a kick-off mystery open house show on x date. Come try out new products. Bring a friend and get an extra chance to win the host benefits. Please RSVP by x.
