Who May Find This Useful

Consultants looking for ideas on engaging their communities and promoting their HWC shows may find the shared experiences and strategies beneficial.

thank you! I thought it was something like that... I just wasn't sure about the D... you all wouldn't call your man Dumb Hubby now would you?? hehehee!!
Hey Jodi...thanks again for the recipe! I just didn't have the Hershey's bars...so I ran to the gas station the next morning... whipped them up, and the agents looved them! I love those things! (Nutty Crescent Pastries!)

I wonder what you all are doing for your May HWC shows...not concerning recipes, but concerning games, etc... I typed up several different facts about breast cancer and about our HWC campaign... and will hand everyone one fact for them to read... is this boring?? I just know that I can't remember all the specific facts, and this gets the info right in front of them...then I'll hand out the brochure from ACS... I didn't hear anything this year about getting more from ACS... luckily I have tons left over from previous years!

PC infoI have had some success with doing introductions during the show like this:

Slips of paper are put in some PC product
The paper asked them to say name and how they know the host; they read some PC fact (did you know knives have lifetime guarantte? what is the guest special this month? etc.)
I asked them to pass the slips around whenever I have a low point in my show.

So, I need to look at the recipe, find a product or finish preparing something, I say, "we need an introduction" and the next person goes.

What I'm saying is that you could put your Cancer facts on the sheet of paper and have them read it at various times of the show.

Good luck (can I get a copy of you facts?)

What I'm saying is that you could put your Cancer facts on the sheet of paper and have them read it at various times of the show. You could also have them tell their personal experience with cancer. Everyone has had a loved one have cancer and allowing them to express honor for them is a great way to personalize things.

Good luck (can I get a copy of you facts?)

How long did it take for you to get brochures from the ACS? I forgot to order them a few weeks ago and have a HUGE party coming up on the 6th (30+ guests). They want it really breast cancer centered..
 
I'm thinking about printing up some fake $1 bills... for each HWC product they purchase - $1 goes to ACS - plus I give them a fake $1 bill, with an expiration date... saying they can use this another time...
If they book a party, they get $3 - since that is how much goes to the ACS.

This would of course only be redeemable through me.
print them on pink paper so they remember that they helped whip cancer!

I ordered mine one Monday and I got them Wednesday.
 
Thanks, Carly. When I finally ordered I asked the lady and she said to expect it to take 2 weeks, but it may be sooner. I am hoping much sooner. It is good to know you got yours in 2 days.
