I think that's a great idea! I think I'll ask a few businesses around town if they would let me put one on their counters for a month at a time and see what happens.
I would offer a "monthly drawing" and you decide what you want to draw for - something you have on hand... runners up can get a free cooking show (you bring paper products, recipe ingredients and send invitations out - they get the people there).

Thanks this is kind of what I have thought about my prize could be $20.00 gift certificate to use on service at her salon that way it would possibly give me business and also her because she would have $20.00 from someone to use. Do you call everyone that enters to tell then they have won a free cooking show?

Why would you give them a gift certificate for someone else? Well... to thank them for letting you put the box there. Value can be determined by how many leads you get from the box.
Instead why not offer the business owner a discount or free product. And give the person who wins the drawing a Pampered Chef gift certificate (make it up yourself to be redeemed only with you).
No, I do not offer the free cooking show to all who enter. I pick the winner and then some to call to make that offer. I want to do that in a timely manner. Some do not take you up on it so I do keep drawing until I get at least a couple. Then I follow up with the others to see how I can help them. I do offer everyone something extra from me at their show if they do end up booking.

I did at my salon after I tried to "pamper them". I gave away a gift cert that no one ever used and alot of people didn't put e-mail or phone numbers. A gift cert, a cookbook, small bar pan??
Hopefully, you'll have better luck. It is a great idea if people will fill out all the info or even put in a business card of there own. I asked a few other businesses and they wouldn't allow it.
Good luck, hope you get some great leads
