Using Pampered Chef Gift Certificates: Tips & Advice

[amya]

Does anyone have any advice on how to use PC Gift Certificates?
I just finished my first Super Starter month and did great. I would like to keep my momentum going by offering some new things to my customers. I haven't offered the gift certificates yet because I am not very clear on how they are used. Any suggestions or tips would be great.
Thanks.

Gift certificates are entered in your order. The guest gets a certificate which they use when they are ready to order. The gift certificate does not count toward the guest sales of the show where they use it. It does count toward show totals for the show it was sold.

I offer gift certificates when there is an order that is on stop sell. I take their info and call them once it goes off stop sell (ex. Chillzanne Rect. Server was on stop sell forever. I sold gift certificates that included the shipping and tax amount so it was totally paid for when they were available.)

Hi there! Congrats on your successful Super Starter month! Gift certificates can definitely be a great way to keep the momentum going and offer something new to your customers. I've used PC gift certificates before and here are a few tips that have worked for me:1. Make sure to clearly explain to your customers what the gift certificates can be used for. Some people may not be familiar with them, so it's important to let them know that they can use them towards any of your products or services.2. You can offer different denominations of the gift certificates to cater to different budgets. For example, you can have $10, $25, and $50 gift certificates available.3. Consider offering a special discount or promotion for customers who purchase a gift certificate. This can incentivize them to buy one and also attract new customers who may be interested in taking advantage of the deal.4. Make the gift certificates visually appealing. You can use a design template or create your own to make them stand out. This can also make them a great gift option for special occasions like birthdays or holidays.5. Don't forget to promote the gift certificates on your social media platforms and website. This can help spread the word and attract more customers.I hope these tips help! Good luck with your gift certificate sales!
