Want to Pamper Your Business and Get a Free Dessert? Try This New Approach!

Thank you Nancy!!!!

I love these flyers, what is your dollar days flyer? Also you have stickers throughout your PAB folder, and I see they are highlighted but cant make out what they say. I am just curious as this is such a cute idea.

 

[kayleigh]

and btw- I forgot to say Thank you so much

Oops, I forgot the Dollar Days flyer. I got that from here as well. Just modified to meet my needs.

I created labels and stuck them on the page protectors and the folder flaps. The first label on the front next to my business card reads "Take a Business Card! Use the referral bonus on the back!" The label on the customer information sheet page reads "Remove the sign up sheet and write your name".

For the May guest specials, I put the label on the flyer and it reads "Anyone can order the guests specials!! As many as you want" I'll change it for next month so it applies to the special. The label on the host flyer reads "You can order the host special when you gather $200 in orders". The next months host special has a label that reads "Host a show next month and you can order one of these at 60% off!!!"

For the June guest special flyer I typed a label that reads "Your guests can get one of these for FREE next month!!" And on the back folder flap there is a label that reads "Sign up for the possibility to win a door prize!"

I tried to keep the folder generic so all I have to do is change the pages inside the page protectors as needed. I am going to send the letter mentioned in this thread to businesses and will give them this packet when they agree to gather orders.

3. Eat! On the final date of your show I will come in to pick up your orders and bring a delicious desert for you, your co-workers and your guests to enjoy!

Nice letter, Nicki. But if I may> I live in the Southern California desert where it reaches 128 degrees during the summer. I don't believe you want to bring a desert for workers and guests. Perhaps they might appreciate a dessert?

WOW! That's awesome Nikki! I'm definitely going to try this.
Thanks for sharing!!!

 

[Mel_M]

Love this!! I'm new to the area and the business, and live on a quiet commercial street. This will be perfect! Thanks for sharing!

They can get the host special with just $150 in sales. The $200 is what they need to start earning the Free Product Value.

Love the idea. Thanks!!

 

[arksheets]

Thank you i'm so excited to try that!!!!!

 

[abigailhutch]

This is such a great idea! I have been wanting to do this but not quite sure how to go about it....I am so going to use this letter!

 

[kayleigh]

I agree.. this is a great idea. June has completely feel apart for me, so I am thinking about doing this to try to drum up some sales. Anything has to work at this point. I just need some confidence and selling strageties to make people say yes.. here lately I dont seem like I have it.

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

So glad somebody bumped this thread! I need another $250 to make the first big SAT level in my career! I tweaked the letter and will be taking it with me when I go to do some shopping today or tomorrow. (Probably tomorrow .. there are more grown-ups working on a weekday!)

 

[Candice]

This is a great idea! I will be writing up my letters tonight and mailing them tomorrow or personally delivering them.Thank you so much for the idea. Oh and Nancy I LOVE your folder!!!

 

[Humble Beginnings]

I did this last year, thanks to someone on this site, and from that one business that took me up on it.

I have had well over 5 shows or more shows that all started from this. Just did one this weekend from a host I met thru a guest at a show where the host I met at the business I pampered. Try it you never know what can happen. I'm planning to do it again next week! Good luck everyone.

If you mail the letters then follow up with them, who do you address it to. Manager? Owner?
What types of businesses have you found the most success with?

 

[ChefAndiHV]

I love your folder idea. I would like to use this idea if you don't mind. I was just curious as to what the little labels are that you put throughout your folders. I could not read them in the pictures.

 

[tlnash]

Thanks for the great idea....

What recipe do you bring to the business? I'm looking for something that looks impressive but dosent cost alot or take alot of time to make.

 

[Michelle M]

I love this idea!
Thank you so much, this is a great way to get your name out and generate new business!

 

[apple.strudel]

I am new to P/C just about to get started. Think this is a wonderful idea, but how do you collect payment?

 

[cewcooks]

I collect payment at the time the order is placed, most have been checks/credit cards when I pamper a salon. The last one the owner asked if I could come back on a sat. and so I did with a recipe and I got 2 orders in 3 hrs, and 3 new customers that I have to follow up with! Good luck to you.

Post #242 has the label information listed for you.

 

[skaugchef]

Nancy thank you for the folder & links to pages & stickers that you use. It's really helpful. I got my first PAB today! I'm excited. What do you write on the back of your business card for the referral bonus?

 

[meabrat]

Nicki this is awesome your so creative and thanks for sharing !!

 

[skaugchef]

What dessert is everyone bringing when going back to the business?

 

[LeslieSGI]

Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies are always a hit. (Personally, I don't really care for them so they are good for my waistline.)​

 

[chefheidi2003]

So..do most people have success with this? I think I should try this. I need to do something to up my business. I was thinking that a Realtor's office might be a good one. Maybe they can get stuff for clients. What kind of businesses to most of you do that you have had success with.

 

[donnajocooper]

great idea!
