Who May Find This Useful

Consultants looking for creative ideas and personal experiences related to engaging local businesses through the Pamper a Business initiative may find this discussion valuable.

ok, question...what wording do you use, or how do you approach the invitation to Pamper a Business, especially for a business that you may not know of anyone by name?
 
who is the 'host' when you are entering these into P3? Does one person at the business get to reap the host benefits? I've never done a PAB before.
 
It's the same as a regular show, except if they don't give you enough to do as a show you combine it with another one.I got sick of baking for people who didn't give me any orders. So I think I will take another stab at doing it the way Shelby pointed out. I really need to do SOMETHING to get my business going!
 
Hi Shelby! :)
I was trying to send you a PM but I couldn't

I would like to ask you if you ended up doing the PAB in January... Was it successful?

I would like to give it a try!

Thank you!

Ana

I have never done a PAB but it sounds like a lot of fun!!!!! What about doing the show in the box method like it was being talked about in another thread?


Could someone please tell me what the "show in a box method" is? sounds interesting.:balloon:
 
I currently have a Pamper your Business going on at our local Credit Union, I left catalogs, order forms, and a reusable shopping bag for the boss, I am going to pick up orders on Monday and I will be taking a Strawberries and Cream Trifle and plates and napkins when I arrive! :) I hope it goes good!! Fingers Crossed!! This is my first one!!
 
Well, that was a flop :( Only one order that was about $50 dollars, I thought for sure they would of came up with atleast enough to turn in a show. BOO Really dissapointing. I left my Strawberries & Cream trifle in hopes they would feel guilty!! I bank there every week!!!

Don't let it get you down. Sometimes it pans out and sometimes it doesn't. It's about getting your name out there. My first PAB I did was a bank and one teller has been a repeat two additional times since. Sometimes, you make customers for life :)

I haven't done a lot of these Pampering Businesses... I've actually only done 3 in my 2 years of business:
#1 - dentist's office - awesome! I got almost enough orders to put together a show, and about 1.5 years later held a $1200 party from the contact I made through this event.
#2 - salon - flop. No results
#3 - bank - flop. No results.

So... hit and miss, I guess. But the one that worked out really was well worth it in the end.
