Well, I Sent Out Some Invitations (Email..evites) for My First

In summary, Anne's first pampered chef mystery host party yielded disappointing results. She sent out about 7 invitations and only 2 people came, both of whom ordered. However, Anne has faith that her next show will be better since she has had success in the past.
Well, I sent out some invitations (email..evites) for my first pampered chef Mystery Host party. It is also my first party. I did the evites because the people I am inviting always respond to evites.

Anyway, I'm nervous no one will be able to come. I sent out about 7 so far. On evites you can check who has viewed them the evites as well as responses. So far one "no" (its her anniversary) and four people have viewed but not responded.

Its very eary but I'm kind of nervous... this is the neighbourhood where another lady just became a pampered chef consultant too but not sure if that will make a difference. I guess if you dont ask you wont know.

Wish me luck!

Well I am going to be real blunt and honest with you. I did my mystery host show this past Saturday. I sent out 40 invites and 2 people came. They both ordered but now I am having to work to get the show up to $150. My point is that you can't let it get you down. There will just be shows like that. It was actually my 2nd show and my 1st show was awesome, almost $400 in sales and 3 bookings. You just never know. Just keep on trudging along.

E-invites are great, but...

Don't forget to call your guests and invite them personally! Also keep invitations with you in case you run across friends/acquaintances in the next few days.

Same advice...be sure and call each person you sent an evite to so that you can express how much you would love to celebrate the kick off of your new business with them. When you call them ask them to bring a couple friends with them. You can also offer to give them something a little extra for bringing friends with them...perhaps a free copy of the Season's Best recipe book. By doing this you could easily take your guest list of 7 and turn it into 14 or more!

Wishing you success with your show,

First of all, congratulations on hosting your first Pampered Chef party! That's a huge accomplishment and I'm sure you have put a lot of time and effort into planning it. Don't worry about the responses just yet, sometimes people need a little reminder to RSVP. Also, keep in mind that life can get busy and things come up, so even if all 7 people can't make it, it's still a success if a few can attend.

I'm glad you chose to do evites, as it sounds like that is the preferred method of communication for your guests. Just continue to follow up with those who have not responded and remind them of the date and time. You never know who might be able to make it last minute.

As for the other consultant in the neighborhood, don't let that discourage you. There is room for both of you to be successful and each party is unique in its own way. Just focus on showing your guests a great time and showcasing the amazing products Pampered Chef has to offer.

I wish you all the best and I know your party will be a success! Happy cooking!
