Give an 8" saute pan to a friend as a gift! I finally exchanged holiday gifts with my 2 best girlfriends (yes, I said "holiday" - one is Jewish and the other is Lutheran - sorry!). Anyway, I gave one the SS 8" saute pan and the other the Exec. 8" saute pan. They both loved them, asked all kinds of questions about the cookware, and now each are buying a set of their respective cookware!

I didn't honestly think they'd buy cookware from me from the gift, I was just trying to get them something nice that I thought they could use (one has been through a divorce and lost all her good pans to her ex, the other is single and only has hodge-podge pans). What a cool surprise! So, don't feel "bad" giving PC items as gifts - they may really appreciate them and buy more! :D
 
That is great. What a good friend you are to give cookware, and now you're getting your "many happy returns!"
 
Very nice! I feel that way about our forged cutlery too. I think they are great b/c I know the benefits, but everytime I use our cookware or knives, I think...I LOVE these! I think they are just something that people literally have to use themselves (not just see being used or hear about).

Congrats on the sales! I always give PC. My friends love it. They are actually a little disappointed when they get a PC box without PC in it :).
 
My standard wedding gift is the Pizza Party Kit & standard baby gift is the Celebrate Plate. I gave my spa consultant a forged utility knife as an early Christmas gift, and she ended up buying 2 to give as gifts and 2 Carafes for their Open House!!
 
Really great ideas! Everyone who has tried the 8" pan is sold on it.
 
I exchange gifts with my "mommy friends" for all kinds of holidays (christmas, valentines etc) Everyone always tries to get my gifts because they all want PC things! Great advertisment!
 
Just love reading those great rewards for giving the best gifts from PC!!!!!!

That is so awesome about the cookware sales and forged cutlery!!!!!!

How can I follow up with customers after they receive cookware gifts?
