What is customers: Definition and 173 Discussions

In reading some threads about the lack of success on the Black Friday sales and lack of bookings I've noticed that lots have said that they've mailed flyers and e-mailed notes to people and very few mentioned getting on the phone and actually calling people to book, place orders, see about our...

I love loyal customers who like to spend money! I got a call from a past host of mine (the one who did the $2700 show last summer) who decided to take advantage of the SA sale and do all her holiday shopping with me today...$483.50 worth! Yippee!!

Does any one have a few (NIB) that they are willing to part with. I have a couple of customers that didn't have the opportunity to buy them last season and want to start getting them and have the complete set. Thanks.

I just opened up the boxes from a big show I did and one box is real bad. There are broken tiny shards of SA and stoneware all over. My question is: I always have shows delivered to me cause I like to sort everything for my hosts, when I do my adjustment should I have all adjustments sent...

Hi, I'm participating in my first vendor fair tomorrow night and i bought 200 holiday mini-catalogs and 200 chocolate bliss recipes cards to give out with my information on it. BUT, several people in my cluster say the best way to get customers is by giving an actual catalog. I was only...

I have been selling Pampered Chef now for about 6 months. I have already went through everyone I know to book parties and now I have no one left. Any ideas to get new customers?

I'm going to be calling past customers / hosts and some people who entered their name into a draw at a fair I attended. I'm going to offer 20% off for a specified period of time. I also want to ask them to book. All of these people have been asked at least once by me if they would be interested...

I am putting this in all my show attendees folders for the next 3 weeks.

I spent way too much time creating what turned out to be an awesome (but huge) booklet to give to anyone who purchases a Trifle Bowl... 87 awesome recipes (including the 4 I could find from PC) and some gorgeous jpeg's of the Trifle Bowl. Change info, and it's yours! I was too cheap (sorry...

:love: I have some customers in a circle of friends that have become some of my best customers with repeat hosting and buying over the past few months. One of these girls even hosted my top show! Prior to me doing a show for this circle, they were not very familiar with PC products and now...

Is anyone offering their services to newlyweds? I've picked up a few engagement annoucements from the newspaper to send info re the Wedding Registry but was wondering what could be done "after the fact" to introduce The Pampered Chef to those just setting up house.

Alright, I want to start something I haven't done yet, but need some help. At a Fall Kick-off meeting I recently attended (and also at conference) I learned about calling those customers that placed outside orders, before you close the show. Anybody do this already, and want to help me out...

Does anyone here have a system to "reward" customers for buying from you. I have been to different DS parties where they write you total (before shipping and tax) on the back of their business card and initial it. Then when you get to a certain amount say $250 they get something (either % off...

Do you send thank you notes to all your customers? or just the host? That seems like a lot of notes.:eek:

I have customers often circling they want more info about gift certificates. i would like to mail them something and follow up with a phone call. I would like something they can refer to or pass along to friends. Does anyone have anything like that they are willing to share? Thanks!

Email Customer NewslettersDo you talk to your new consultants about doing one each month? I ask my new consultants to start collecting email addresses right away and then when they have 35-40 ( hopefully in a couple of months) they can start forwarding mine. I always send my downline my...

Does anyone remember the statistic from National Conference of how many SS cookware customers there are in the market and how many non-Stick customers? I remember 30-something percentage for both, but didn't get the exact amount?

Anyone ever offer Tax free days. On the 11th and 12th Massachusetts is offering tax free days. I have a bunch of customers in Mass. I am in RI does anyone have a flyer made up that I could offer my customers? I am assuming PC is not honoring this because I have not seen anything but the tax...

I have 2 customers who would love to have the cherry pitter. Anyone have any extras for sale???

The Sample Pack Questions thread prompts this question, but I thought I'd make it it's own thread ... Which of the new products do you think are the "must haves"? I got thinking this morning that if I were a new consultant, the only new product in my kit would be the restyled pizza cutter! I...

I have heard alot of people say..."send a recipe from time to time to old hosts or potential hosts or good customers" Does everyone buy the recipe postcards from Merrill? They seem a little pricey to be sending every few months to possibly quite a few people. I do however think sending a good...

I have been trying to do one craft show per month. I sent invites to a self-hosted show for June 1st . Someone called to ask who I was -- said they got an invite. They sounded extremely irritated. I asked them if they had been to X or Y craft show and said I met them there. She said "So...

Does anyone do this? WHat are the pros? What are the cons? I am test driving it now have about 5 people who joined which is all I asked for now dont want everyone joining and me not staying with this method....

I had some random lady place an order. I had a catalog at my girlfriend's nail salon and a lady ordered from it today. Then another girlfriend called and said that a lady she knows wants to have a party and gave me her number! Cool beans! June is booking up fast! It'll definitely be my best month!

Hi there! I have to submit an order by the end of the month to keep from going inactive. While I could certainly place a $150 order for myself of products, I'm trying not to do that. A handfull of the ladies at work order from me now and then. Here's what I was thinking about doing...

I am unsure how I go about keeping my email list private when I send my e-newsletter. I am using Windows Live Mail, a bit like hotmail. Can someone please explain? Thanks Misty

My sister, who hosted my second show, received her Pampered Chef products yesterday. In the box was everything that the customers ordered but she also received several receipts from other people that she didn't know. Their products were not in the box, just order receipts. I guess whoever packed...

I've recently signed up for the website and plan to send info out to all my customers. I would like to put something into my email announcement to entice them to check out the new site. Any suggestions? I know someone mentioned something about hiding a recipe on the site and if customers found...

If I cancel my PWS, would I be able to order Outlets items for my customers cia my ordering in CC. I know there is a discount applied there. I only have one or 2 people who have ordered and just thought this could be a way of keeping them in touch with the outlet. I have pretty much decided...

I have always had a problem calling past customers to see if they need anything else or even telling them the new host items for each month to see if they want to host a party. (i don't have a problem making sure items are working and etc) I am always affraid I am bothering them. I just ran...
