Okay, leaving in 10 minutes for a show, I really need to jumpstart biz again or I am sunk! I am offering the set today from the original poster, will let you all know how it turns out! I signed a new recruit and did her first show yesterday, I want to stay in and see my biz build!
 
Well, no takers, but everyone wants a Deep Covered Baker!!! Sold one outright!
 
The set I offered this weekend (one set sold, and one DCB bought separately):

DCB
Salad Choppers
1 Rub of their choice (I pay for anything over $4.00)
SBRC
plus 1 Free Rub OR Free Weekday Dinners Done! set (she took the Dinners Done).

The woman at the second party who bought the DCB separately did so because a friend booked an October show, so she decided to split what she wanted between the two shows. Ok with me - she still spent $100 last night!

I sell a few DCBs, probably because I absolutely love it myself, and rave about it at parties.
 
I have a lot of baking friends, and for October, I decided to do a PIE Set! Have two shows scheduled for October already, so we'll see how this goes to prep for holiday season!

I took everyone's ideas on here, from the Pampered Packages and made a flyer with just a few to offer and see how it goes...along with these I'll be offering the DCB set and Single Serving Set. Already had one sale on the DCB set and that was just taking it off the printer at work!!! :)
Thanks everyone for your great ideas and creativity!

Kylene, that's great. If you can fit it in, you might want to mention the other pie tools, like the Pie Guard, the Pastry Cutter, Pastry Blender, and the Pastry Mat. Just a thought.

Is there another program you can open this with? I don't have Publisher and I'd love to see this! Thanks!

That's what I was thinking too! Include a few in the set, then mention the rest :)

I changed the info to mine and saved it as a PDF (I used the free trial of publisher, lol) so you would just have to put a sticker or lable over the info

It works! It really, really works!

I tried it for the first time last night. I used one of the flyers that was posted here that included the DCB, the oven mitt, RUFTH trivet, a rub, and a free seasons' best, with free shipping. I mentioned it during last night's show, but alot of time the guests don't pay attention. A guest ordered the DCB, and I asked her at checkout, "did you see the special DCB package?" and showed her the flyer. She said, "Hmmmm. OK!"

And by using this package, I got one more trivet sold!

Thank you!!!
 
Just thought of another thing you could do with the dcb bundle - a monthly email with a new recipe. PC keeps coming up with new recipes and you could do an email each month "here's your january recipe for your deep covered baker . . . "
 
I love this too! My question is: Do you charge them tax on just the $99 or of the actual retail value? For instance, in CT tax on $99 would be $5.94. Now, one of the many sets I saw totaled $100.50 and tax on that would be $6.03. So, would it be $99 + $5.94 OR $99 + $6.03?
 
I am waiting not so patiently to get my PC dollars so I can by the DCB...because I want to use it at my shows! I LOVE these package ideas. I think I am going to print off a selection of all the ones you beautiful people have posted. And then have them printed on cardstock and put into a little bound booklet that I can pass around at shows to see show off a variety of package choices...
 
I'm trying this at my show tomorrow, I haven't had a cooking show since the thread started so I'm so excited! I put this and the ultimate pie set in a plastic page protector and put it in the prongs of each of my folders. We'll see. I also just got my FREE stoneware on my doorstep today! Now I am packing my FREE rolling tote with my FREE stoneware, and other FREE things from PC dollars, lol (i'm so excited it was FREE). I hope I don't bring TOO much!
 
I am assuming you have the customer pay the tax?

I have the customer pay the tax on the FULL value- my set is valued at $100, so only $1 savings. That's $0.06 in MA they're paying extra if they were expecting to pay tax on $99. MA doesn't tax on shipping.
 
Thanks for the flyers & motivation, I can't wait to see upcoming results...

I love this, especially as a "Jump Start Your Holiday Shopping" flyer.

To anyone who is using this have you had any success yet with the flyer?

Without doing the math individually, what is the average savings on each "set"?

Tough call on that one. Technically, the customer should pay tax on the exact amount they paid. However, we don't remit the sales tax to the state--PC does, and they will remit the tax on the full value. When I was a Shaklee distributor I had a sales tax number. I collected sales tax based on the cost of the item and remitted the collected tax to the state tax department.

To be fair to the customer, you should base the sales tax on the amount charged. Anything over that amount should be entered in P3 as "consultant gift". HTH
 
Hello all!! I took what I got from this post to make 2 mini baker sets. I "stole" a couple of the DCB flyers from here so I made the mini sets to match those. Let me know what you think and if you think I should change anything. I am still fairly new so there may be something I'm missing.

I love MB Set 1! Great Job! Thanks for sharing with us.

You asked for feedback...Really, nothing as you did a fabulous job, but here's my input. :)

The "00" on the $6 for needs to adjusted, looks like they're "oo".
By offering free shipping and a SB, you are giving away almost half your profit.

Again, they look great!
 
I tried the DCB Special and my first show last night, and had no takers.

I was wondering when you present the 'flyer/special' to them. I had it in the guest packet and introduced it towards the beginning with the DCB.

Should I hold off to the end of the show and introduce the special?
 
Has anyone considered using bi-weekly or monthly packages for their email list or newsletter? It would give an excuse to contact our customers multiple times and offer them a new and exciting money saving package. Perhaps offer an extra incentive if they book a show to get it? (book a show and purchase this set at your show and receive a free ______)

Thoughts?

First, are you using the DCB at your Show (for your demo recipe)? When you demo the DCB with a recipe and talk about its versatility, you grab more attention... Then, share the offer that they can take advantage of tonight at your Show... Use the products in the flyer during your demo.

Yes, I have been demoing the penne al fresco recipe and I am hoping I have results with the flyer tomorrow.
Thanks
 
Can't wait to show you all the batch of flyers Kathleen is making for me on here...I am having her back basically a package booklet that I am going to send to office max to get printed and bound for a few bucks. It has some package ideas I took off of you guys and some new ones.
 
I just did this again at my second show on Sunday, and still no takers on the "Special" $99 set.

I did sell 3 deep covered bakers as single items though!
 
Mine for October is:

-DCB (Cranberry or white0
-1 rub
-1 SBRC
-Bar board
-Salad Choppers or $25 shopping spree from the catalog.

The $25 shopping spree typically brings the persons order to more than $99 they just pay the difference. i had one lady order $218 at my last show because I offered the $25 shopping spree.

Next month I will have the same just without the Bar board. I am letting people know this at my shows so they take advantage of the special now!
