I think I read others coming up with special Holiday Recipe selections OR to offer Gift Giving or Entertaining Ideas during your Show.
Would LOVE for someone who has had success answer this one!
I pelt the people in attendance with sweets. Just kidding. I play the "Have it! Love it! Got a question!" game. When I mention a product, the first person to yell out "Have it! Love it!" gets a candy. I use Hershey Kisses. I also toss a kiss to anyone who asks a question about a product or the business.I love doing the game. It allows the guests to sell the products to one another. It makes the show really interactive, and there is lots of laughter as people compete for kisses.ChefPaulaB said:I'm sorry, you "throw" candy.... what's up with that? It's probably obvious since 2 of you said it, but I'm still confused! :blushing:
DebbieJ said:I did the Homemade for the Holidays shows last year and everyone loved them. Everyone went home with a pretzel wreath. They thought it was a lot of fun.
jrstephens said:I do not do much differently either. I do toss Christmas candy and have games that relate to Christmas but that is about all I do differently. I was going to do a "themed" one last year but it got cancelled.
GourmetGirl said:How did you format the show? The format is where I get a little confused and nervous... tia!
Great ideas, thanks!raebates said:For the holidays I put M&Ms in the prep bowl and wrap it with a ribbon. I put some Brach's Christmas Nougats in a SA Small Square Bowl, wrapped it with plastic wrap and tied it with a ribbon. I put some Lindt Truffles on one of the Holiday Appetizer Plates, wrapped it with cellophane and tied it with a ribbon. Each of these gifts is well below $10 each, provided, of course, that you don't fill them with caviar or gold dust.
One way to make your holiday show more interactive is to have guests participate in hands-on activities, such as cooking demonstrations or DIY projects. You can also incorporate games or raffles to keep guests entertained and engaged.
Offering special discounts or promotions during the holiday show is a great way to incentivize guests to make purchases. You can also showcase the top-selling products and share their benefits to encourage guests to buy them.
Utilize social media and email marketing to promote your holiday show. You can also create flyers or posters to hang up in your local community. Don't forget to personally invite friends, family, and coworkers to attend.
Offer unique and exclusive products that are only available at your holiday show. You can also incorporate a festive theme or offer special holiday treats and drinks to create a memorable experience for your guests.
You can send thank-you notes or emails to your guests, offering discounts or promotions for future purchases. You can also hold a post-show raffle or giveaway to show your appreciation for their support.
