A host packet is a collection of materials provided to potential hosts to help them understand the benefits of hosting a Pampered Chef party. It typically includes product catalogs, order forms, host rewards information, and tips for planning a successful event.
You might need to send another host packet if the potential host misplaced the original, if they expressed interest in hosting but haven't received the materials yet, or if you want to provide updated information or new products that have been released since the first packet was sent.
To personalize a host packet, consider including a handwritten note that addresses the potential host by name and highlights specific products or recipes that align with their interests. You can also tailor the information about host rewards based on what you think would appeal most to them.
Typically, the cost of sending a host packet is covered by the consultant as part of their business expenses. However, it’s important to consider shipping costs and any additional materials you may want to include that could incur extra expenses.
After sending a host packet, follow up with the potential host within a few days to see if they received it and if they have any questions. You can also discuss their thoughts on hosting and encourage them to set a date for their party to take advantage of the host rewards.
