Hey! I have a show today at 11 am at a VERY RICH neighborhood and I'm going to be making the Clubhouse Chicken Squares and Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake. Well, I know that a lot of these women don't cook (I guess I shouldn't say that, they could) so I plan on showing off Simple Addi+ions, cookware & stoneware. I'm hoping to really walk out of there with at least $1000 in sales. I'm wondering though, what do you think I should showcase besides those? I definitely plan on playing games as well.;)


I'll post later to let you know how I did!
 
A trifle would be awesome..they look wonderful, just as one teaser of what's to come!!

That is true if I had time to make one! I still have to get my kids ready, re-pack from my show last night, get myself ready and make the crescents for the squares! I guess I should get off of here!;)
 
A great idea I heard last night was to have pre-made suggestion packages. "For the one who doesn't cook" (stones, SA, etc), for the "starter chef" - you can cut out pictures from the catalog and make a pretty collage and just round it down to the next dollar. Apparently it can work really well because then people don't have to make the difficult decision of what to order!
 
Definately have out the new cookbook. If they like entertaining they'll like the recipes in cooking for two or more. Emphasize the convenience of our spice blends.

I would take about five minutes or so to show them several ways that the simple additions pieces can stack on each other to create versatile displays.

I hope it turns out even better than you're expecting!
 
Ooooh - too bad it's not March yet -- I bet they'd love the Trifle...I bet you can use it as a teaser to get March bookings!

That is what I am doing at my next 2 shows!!

Kristi, if you don't have time to make a trifle, you can use it as a punch bowl....or a "margarita glass" bowl!!
 
Take the Well-Stocked Kitchen list-- for those who don't cook. They can see what they're missing!

Okay I'm BACK!!!!
 
So, how did it go?!?!?!?
 
Yeah!! Can't wait to hear :) ...I need some encouragement before my show tomorrow, I am feeling so overwhelmed from life right now!
 
Trifles can be easy! Make a box cake mix (pudding or butter recipe is the most moist) and 2 boxes of chocolate of pudding...layer chocolate cake, then pudding, then cherry pie filling, then cool whip (repeat) and make it ahead of time. When there, use your grater to put chocolate chip shavings on top. When they taste it - which with the moist cake and pudding will be good, tell them how easy it is with boxed mixes and a tub of cool whip!

I also make a version with yellow cake, banana pudding, sliced bananas, cool whip, repeat....then extra sliced bananas on top.

I'm confused (happens easily) The Well-Stocked Kitchen list is for weddinf resgistries correct? How can I incorporate the list into a non-bridal show?
 
That is great!!! Ok, I need to get pumped for tomorrow..it's been TOO long since my last show!!You may want to ask person that got the rectangle woven selections if they are interested in the patriotic liner on your outlet!;)
 
Way to go!

Jason - it is great to show those who want it all what they are missing. It is a tool for Wedding Showers and Registries, but why not use it for other people?

Thanks Jennifer! GOod idea but she ordered the rectangular one, the one that's long for the tray.

Hey, I installed PP on my puter before I left for last nights show and I had people purchase 2 or more stones and I had a pop up come on to say that it won't let my guest take advantage of more than one speical. I also had a pop up saying they had to spend more than $60 but it would still add it.;)

So, make sure you do a product update on your laptop before you leave!!!:D

The list itself doesn't say anything about weddings or showers. It is now part of my standard guest kit.
