I typed in Raffle Ticket into the clip art page and there were only one or two suggestions! This will be for my first show so I didn't want to overwhelm them with info. The party is for all co workers so I put this label in the address section of the postcard since I dont have to mail them. I had to lay the labels the other way but I did it all pink and brown so it kind of matches the chocolate bliss theme. I did address labels with the date and time, etc. I wanted to tempt them with the mystery hostess but not give too much info to read that they would become disinterested...

What about doing a co-host thing and splitting the free stuff. I loved having my first show and getting all the free stuf. lol. I got $679 worth of stuff for $84! I gave away 3 big door prizes, a microplane grater, a chillzane bowl and a cookie press... i got all 3 at a garage sale brand new for less than $5 each and gave them away. good luck with your show! I see you're in NJ too.. how far are you from Hackensack?

I havent really discussed this with my recruiter yet. She knows this is the way I want to go. I've already attached these labels to all of the invites. I do have a microplaner in a box at home! LOL...but at this point Im not sure how I would do this?
I've signed the agreement already but my recruiter is not submitting it until I go on vacation, which is the end of next week. This show that Im doing the Mystery Host for, is scheduled for September 14th and my sister is doing a catalog show for me at her elementary school (her house is up for sale and doesnt want to commit to a home show in case she's packing up!).
I have no idea what I'm doing but I figured this would bring in the most people because everybody wants the benefits!
Whatcha think?

it's definitely a great idea, i just figured you probably need some more of your own stuff.. if you already attached the labels then go for it... i'm sure your going to get a lot of sales like that. i also had incentives at my open house like spend $100 get any product of $15 value free.. i attached a flyer i had out. it worked good because if someone was close to $100 they went for it, and close to $200 they went for that too. my sales for the day were $2800

But that free product I would offer would come out of my pocket, yes? Most of the stuff coming in my kit I already have. Some people have suggested keep the stuff together and just use it in the show, others believe in the contrary. I really want to make the stuff in advance so I dont have to embarass myself in front of all of my co workers. Because I will be nervous enough. I'm the class clown at work so they expect mistakes and will be anxious to point them out, lovingly, of course. Im hoping to concentrate on demoing a few products and passing them around. I've put a binder together of flyers such as specials, cooking comparison chart, stoneware uses and commonly asked questions, 10 reasons to buy stoneware, fundraising info, becoming a consultant info and others. I'm trying to be as organized as possible, but just like a wedding, I know something ALWAYS goes wrong! I was so disappointed with the brownie recipe so now Im concentrating on finding other chocolate recipes to try.....sigghhhhh:yuck:

i used the free product gift out of my host rewards free product. if you have the stuff in your kit i would give it away. i had all my kit stuff already and wound up giving some of that away with the free stuff. i was so nervous at my first show but everything went great... just relax and have fun... that's why we decided to do pampered chef in the first place right? i did the same thing with the binder, too funny. also get the dorm room survival guide off here, in case some people have kids going away to school. my first recipe i made the jerk chicken salad, i had most of the stuff put together when people got there, just demoed a little bit then spent the time explaining the products and making them want to buy everything. you'll be fine!!

Thank you for your kind words...Im nervous but excited, of course. I just went to a show two weeks ago and she did the chicken broccoli braid. She passed the salad choppers around with the broccoli and sure enough I bought one. It was very easy to use and very effective. Of course, when I tried to make the braid it came out alittle wider at one end than the other and it was a little gooey inside (the bread part) so I didnt cook it all of the way. Im ready to make mistakes and learn from them! Dorm guide, eh? Im on it! Thanks again!:balloon:

practice makes perfect. before my show i made the jerk chicken salad 4 times, my husband was so sick of it by the end of the week but i perfected it. when my friend became a consultant, after like 6 months she did a show at my house, burnt my stone, ruined the food and the 2 recipes she made were inedible. (she still can't cook) but people still bought over $1200 worth of stuff. they care more about your presentation and personality than the food itself i've noticed. i too am the class clown with my friends so just roll with it. i made jokes throughout my whole demo, like how nice it would be to stab my husband with the color coated santoku knife. lol. everyone laughed and i sold 12 of them lol

That's what people say about MY mom! I love her dearly and she will give you the shirt off her back but jeez louise she's a pain in the butt! The girls in my wedding party (my ex's friends' wives) actually wrote her a letter and mailed it to her house saying what a bee with an itch she was! Dad and I had to intercept it!
