That is the question! :p

My son has Basketball practice every Thursday night for his biddy ball league. I thought about taking in Catalogs and giving those away, but that seems like it could get expensive. What do you think??

Is there anything else I could do?? Take something else?? I just want to introduce myself as a consultant to the other families there.

Thanks in Advance!!
 
Take treats for the adults and have mini catalogs on hand as well as business cards. Try to get bookings and maybe even a fundraiser for the team!

Great Idea! Only I'm new and don't have any mini catalogs, not yet! Heck. I didn't even know they had them. Practice is tonight.....so maybe I should wait until the next game or practice.
 
Or maybe take recipe cards to hand out that have your info on them.....like the Profiterole Puff cards or another dessert one if you have some on hand.
 
See if your recruiter or director has some they can sell you. I always keep extras on hand for just that reason!
 
oops! Sorry -m just saw your post about being new....maybe your director or recruiter has some recipe cards or mini-catalogs you could hand out?
 
Stop Kate! We are repeating ourselves!:p

Great minds think alike!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I distribute Pampered Chef catalogs at my child's sports events?

Distributing Pampered Chef catalogs at your child's sports events can be a great way to reach potential customers in a relaxed environment. However, it's important to consider the event's rules and the appropriateness of the setting. Always check with event organizers before distributing materials.

What are the benefits of distributing catalogs at sports events?

Distributing catalogs at sports events allows you to connect with other parents and community members in a casual setting. It can lead to increased visibility for your Pampered Chef business and create opportunities for personal connections that may result in sales.

How should I approach people when distributing catalogs?

When distributing catalogs, approach people with a friendly and open demeanor. Start a casual conversation about the event or your child's participation, then introduce your Pampered Chef business. Keep it light and non-intrusive, allowing them to express interest at their own pace.

Are there any etiquette considerations to keep in mind?

Yes, it's essential to be respectful of the event and the people attending. Avoid being overly pushy or interrupting conversations. Make sure to follow any guidelines set by the event organizers regarding promotional materials, and consider timing your distribution to avoid distractions during games or activities.

What if I don't get much interest in my catalogs?

Not every event will yield immediate interest, and that's okay. Use this as an opportunity to build relationships rather than focusing solely on sales. Keep your catalogs handy for future events, and consider following up with interested individuals later to maintain the connection.
