Chef Kearns said:With $200 in Round up donations before June 5th you will get a call from David Arquette!! LOL! How random?!! tee hee
raebates said:Yes. On P3 go to Reports. The drop-down menu has a Donations option.
RMDave said:During the 60's Birdseye introduced a breakfast drink called "Awake!" They held a contest and the winners won a telephone call from Bette Davis. Bette Davis!!! I was one of the winners.
I was told when the call would come ... and right on the dot the phone rang.
Bette Davis: (via recorded message). "This is Bette Davis. I am so happy you won Birdseye's contest. I'll bet you enjoy drinking new Awake as much as I do every morning.
"My new movie "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" will be playing in a movie theatre near you sometime in the near future. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
"Good-bye!"

vanscootin said:I just ran the Donation Report in P3.... and the total was really disappointing. Just over $30.00 in my 3 months of being a constultant.
I totally agree. I talk about it during the show and then ask everyone. But I don't just ask them if they want to round up a dollar. I ask them how much they want to round up. Some say the nearest dollar, others will go to the next 5 and so on. I just checked and in the three years I've been in business my guests have donated just less than $700. Since Sept 1st it's just over $200! Total change in the last year after changing how I word it!NooraK said:Vanscootin, are you asking your customers to round up when totalling their orders? Are you mentioning the program during your demo?
I found a big difference when I started to actually talk about the programs during the demo (warning them, so to say ), and then asking about it at checkout. I also ask "How much would you like to round up?" instead of asking if they would and just rounding up to the next dollar. A fellow consultant makes a point to tell his customers that the donation is fully tax deductible. He talks more about the program during the show than I do, so I'm sure that helps, but he said that at one of his shows a customer donated $100, because he had told all the guests that it was tax deductible.
grins88 said:I am completely un-motivated by this "promotion" (the phone call), but I do love all of your ideas on getting people to round up. To be honest, I did not even know about it until I saw that one of my customers at my first show had rounded up. I thought she just couldn't do math.:blushing:
wadesgirl said:I don't even remember anything about a phone call. I just love what this service provides! I'm going to attack HWC this year as I do with RUFTH.
ChefBeckyD said:Alison - it was a promotion announced yesterday. If you turn in $200 in RUFTH between now and June 5, you'll get a personal phone call from David Arquette.
David Who? Seems to be what most people are thinking...seriously.
It sorta makes me want to turn in $199.99 - and quit there, so I don't have to endure an uncomfortable phone call with some quasi-celebrity.
grins88 said:Becky...there will be no enduring....it's not even a live call. It's a recorded call. I'm not trying to be cynical here, but couldn't they just give us a free trivet or something, or just have a recognition list. I think the call is a little crazy.
grins88 said:Noora...I must have missed something (I am new, so forgive me), but how is the trivet free? I don't have one, but maybe I missed something.

We Can’t Get There Without You!
Our goal is to raise 10 million pounds of food in the 2010 Round-Up From the Heart® campaign. You can help by raising $200 through trivet sales and “round-ups” between Sept. 1, 2009 and June 5, 2010. When you do, you’ll receive a recorded congratulatory phone call from David Arquette!
David Arquette, best known as an actor and producer, is also well-known for his charity work as chairman of Feeding America’s Entertainment Council. David regularly volunteers at his local Feeding America® food bank in Venice, Calif.
Already there! And I finally got the email in my inbox today even though it says yesterday at 3 p.m.!BethCooks4U said:Here's what's on Consultant's Corner regarding the donations:
So the dates to do the $200 in donations are 9/1/09-6/5/10 and it is a recorded call.
$200 is also the amount we need to raise to be recognized at conference.
Chef Kearns said:I LOVE the fact that our company helps people in this way!! I had only been rounding people up to the next dollar til National Conference where I heard, "you can round to the next dollar or more." That's made a HUGE difference in the amount of donations coming in. Some people will go from $61 to $65 or $88 to $100!! I give the background on the Feeding America partnership during my demo then at check out ask, "Would you like to make that $26 or $30 or more for the food bank?" Some people can only go up to the next dollar which is fine because every penny helps, but some people go well beyond what you'd expect!!
I LOVE THIS!! (the David Arquette call is a little hokie, but whatever)
You have to manually enter the amount they want to round up ...So if her total is $48.65 but she wants to round-up to an even $50, you have to do the math. if you just click on the "round-up" box it rounds up to the nearest dollar (assuming you are using P3 at your show). You'll have to manually edit the number so instead of just $0.35, it's $1.35.lorilynn95 said:how do more than just round up to the next dollar??? I've had guests want to, but I didn't know how.
NooraK said:You just type in the amount without using that little check box. If you're shaky on the math, you can check the box to see the cents, and then un-check it and type in the whole amount.
There is a report in P3 for Charitable Donations to see where you stand.
