I just received my first online order. It is not related to a show -- I think it is from someone that picked up a brochure at a Home & Garden show I did last weekend.

Do I have to do anything for this order to ship to the customer?

I received an online activity e-mail from PC and other than the customer name I don't see any contact information. Is there some other place I go to for that ?

If not, wow that was easy.
 
From what I have read the individual orders put in on your website go straight to home office....
 
yep - I think JaimeQ is correct. If we are incorrect, we will know about it soon...
 
You're correct. You don't have to do anything (if the customer gave you her information, you could call/e-mail to thank her)...
 
It went straight to HO. If there is no contact info, the customer chose not to be contacted. Just say thanks out loud for their order. You don't have to do a single thing except reap the reward of it!!

What should I do immediately after receiving my first online order?

As soon as you receive your first online order, take a moment to celebrate this milestone! Then, review the order details to ensure everything is correct. Check the shipping address, items ordered, and payment confirmation. If everything looks good, proceed to process the order through your Pampered Chef account.

When packaging your first online order, make sure to use sturdy packaging materials to protect the items during shipping. Use bubble wrap or packing peanuts for fragile items, and ensure that everything is securely sealed. Include a thank-you note or a small promotional item to enhance the customer experience.

What should I include in the shipment with the order?

In addition to the ordered items, it's a great idea to include a thank-you note expressing your appreciation for their business. You can also add a catalog of your products, a business card, and any current promotions or specials to encourage future orders.

After shipping the order, reach out to your customer via email or a personal message to inform them that their order is on the way. Ask if they have any questions or need assistance with their new products. Following up shows that you care about their experience and can help build a lasting relationship.

What if there are issues with the order after it has been placed?
