Do you invite your customers or just past hosts and everyone on your 100 list?
 
Invite EVERYONE! You want a big turnout!
 
My list is too big (I have almost 700 on my monthly customer list), so I limited my invites to anyone who earned or took advantage of a guest special over the past year. That netted me 72 names and 8 came (probably on the small side, but for my house it worked perfectly.

do you mail invitations to that many people, or do you do a newsletter-type to your list and then follow up with phone calls?

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should I invite to my Open House/Fall Preview?

You should invite friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers who enjoy cooking or entertaining. Additionally, consider inviting anyone who has shown interest in Pampered Chef products or those who are looking to refresh their kitchen tools.

Should I invite people who have never hosted a Pampered Chef party before?

Absolutely! Inviting people who have never hosted a party can introduce them to the brand and products. They may be interested in hosting their own party after experiencing the fun and benefits of your Open House.

Is it a good idea to invite past customers?

Yes, inviting past customers is a great idea! They are already familiar with the products and may be interested in new items or seasonal offerings. Plus, it’s a wonderful way to reconnect and show appreciation for their previous support.

Should I consider inviting people from my social media network?

Definitely! Your social media network can be a valuable resource for potential guests. Share your event details on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to reach a wider audience and encourage them to bring friends.

What about inviting people who are not local?

While your Open House is primarily for local guests, consider inviting non-local friends or family who might be interested in your Pampered Chef offerings. You can offer virtual participation options or send them a catalog so they can still engage with your event.
