Received My First Online Orders This Week

[JeannePaff]

I signed up for a Pampered Chef consultant web site at conference last year, but really didn't do that much with it. This week, I received my first online orders. The home office has changed the way the web site works in some really helpful ways. While home parties will always be the core of my business, I'm excited to see how this new technology could help boost my sales.

Were the orders from people that you had made contact with or just people that had went to the Pampered Chef website? If someone goes to the PC website and doesn't have a consultant, will they be directed to someone's website if they want to place an order? I've been thinking about getting a site myself, but wasn't real sure how all that worked.

Someone had said they had a counter on their website to see how many people had visited. I don't see that feature. Does anyone know anything about it? I would love to be able to see how many people are visiting my website.

I don't believe we can check a counter to see how many visits to our website. I know someone on here earlier said you can, but I don't think it's possible. You can contact Tech Support and ask them directly. If you find out, let us all know!

If someone goes to the main PC website, they'll be given the name of a Director in their area. They wouldn't be directed to someone's website. I do, however, strongly recommend getting a website! I think they're great for business, especially now because someone can order directly off of there any time.

Suggestion from Home Office

Jennifer,

I promoted the site by following a suggestion from the Home Office. They created an electronic postcard announcing individual orders. I sent this to a large number of people in my contact list, and it worked!

To do this, I first had to set up an "online catalog show" and then enter my contacts into the guest list. This was tedious and time-consuming, but the results were well worth the effort.

I am encouraging my contacts to bookmark my site for future shopping and gift-giving. And I am encouraging them to book a show to take advantage of the September special on stoneware.

Good luck with your business!
