What Type of Party Should I Do - It Is a Year This Month That I Am

[nikki70563]

what type of party should I do - it is a year this month that I am doing pc and I have recently going inactive so should I do an open house party or customer appreciation party? Any help please.

A Spring Open House party would be a great kick-off for your spring without having to offer something to your guests.If you want to do "Customer Appreciation" people may expect you to offer "something"...so maybe if you do that you can offer a "free cooking show" - you provide the ingredients to get your schedule off the ground.

Why not do a spring kick off with the new products?

Save some green! Host a show with the new PC products!

You could have a mystery host show, where any one who orders gets their name in a drawing to win free products! Then pick someone else to get the 1/2 priced items. etc...

HTH

if I was to do customer appreciation do I invite just past host or all my customers?

 

[vwpamperedchef]

I would do hosts and encourage them to bring a friend

thanks - I was thinking of not doing a demo beings it would be the same people that I have done shows for should I do a demo or not?

Personally, I"d invite everyone. Do something fun like a raffle every hour or something like that....something small as the prize. Also, for some reason, wording things as Open Houses doesn't always attract the same amount of people as a "spring product preview" or something like that. For some people, it just doesn't carry the same importance as something that has an actual start time and they seem more likely to blow it off.

That seems to be the consensus at least. Good luck to you! Or you can call it a Grand Re-Opening or something!

You might want to mention what the drawing will be for..prizes, etc. I wouldn't list them all or nothing, but let them get the feeling that they want those tickets.

Yes need some help as to what kind of prizes to give I really don't have anything so was thinking of putting it on host order to get it at discount because I am inactive so I can't but anything right now what are some suggestions.

 

[nikki70563]

anyone?????

 

[wadesgirl]

I would give away the host benefits! Free, half price and discounted!

 

[nikki70563]

so should I demo something if so what?

if no demo what should I make for guest to enjoy?

 

[krzymomof4]

I would have food prepared already. Set up a trial station with potatoes, etc. for them to "play" with the products.
You could make it a mystery draw, but put it in your name. Make sure you keep good notes. You could give away $xx free, the monthly host special, 1/2 price items. Free shippng, Seasons best.
Since you are inactive, you can give your director a holler and see what she might have lying around she is willing to sell you at a discount. The choices are limitless.

 

[nikki70563]

bumping up for more suggestions

 

[krzymomof4]

You can also draw for a free show
