Xp: Anyone Do Non-Bridal Gift Registries? Tips?

[kdangel518]

I would really like to offer this service to my customers- basically a wish list they fill out and then I would contact whoever they designated (i.e. spouse, children, etc. etc.) around their bdays, holidays, mother's day, etc. to let them know what is on their gift registry/wish list.

I'm wondering how exactly you work it... what tips do you have, how to you explain it to your customers, and do you have any documents you can share on this? TIA!!

I'd feel very odd if someone I didn't know/expect contacted me claiming to know what my mom/sister wanted several times a year. Most likely it would be trashed as spam. So if you are going to do this, have your customer let people know you will be contacting them.

Or maybe have them let the others know "Contact my consultant, X, if you want to know what Pampered Chef items I want" (though even that is kind of awkward all the way around.)

It's too bad Pampered Chef doesn't let you set up gift registries for any occasion at all.

Bumping. I am sure that there are some people out there that do this, I would really like some tips! TIA!

I wouldn't rely on email when working with a gift registry like this. I would ask for a phone number, and call. And if you give your customers magnets to stick on their fridge, and it's a spouse, they'll have seen your name before. Even if they haven't noticed

Hi there! I'm a fellow Pampered Chef consultant and I absolutely love the idea of offering a gift registry/wish list service to our customers. It's such a great way to make gift giving easier for both the customers and their loved ones.To answer your questions, I usually explain the service to my customers by mentioning it during my product demonstrations or in my newsletters. I also have a section on my website dedicated to the gift registry/wish list service, where customers can easily sign up and add items to their list.As for tips, I would suggest promoting the service during the holiday season and special occasions like birthdays and Mother's Day. You can also offer incentives for customers who use the service, such as a discount on their next purchase or a free gift.I don't have any specific documents to share, but I would recommend creating a flyer or handout with information about the service and how to sign up. You can also include a section on your order forms for customers to indicate if they would like to add items to their wish list.I hope this helps and good luck with implementing the gift registry/wish list service! It's a great way to add value to your business and make gift giving easier for your customers. Let me know if you have any other questions. Best of luck!
