What is market: Definition and 77 Discussions

Hi I'm doing the local farmers market and setting up booth under a canopy. I did the same market last fall and enjoyed it. I was just looking for some great setup ideas and some ideas of how to display my products better. I have a 6 ft table and card table that I use and the PC banner goes on...

I will be taking part in an event on Wednesday where over 75 non-profits are coming to a luncheon to see what is out there for their groups to use for fundraising. The event happens 6 times a year, and all these non profits come to YOU--I'd like to have something jazzy to hook them in to look at...

A man doing market research knocked on a door and was greeted by a young woman with three small children running around at her feet. He says, 'I'm doing some research for Vaseline. Have you ever used the product?' She says, 'Yes. My husband and I use it all the time.' 'And if you don't...

I am on vista print getting free postcards and want to make them as handouts for a farmer's market. On the back I wanted to put a summer recipe that can use the fresh veggies they can get at the market any ideas?

Does anyone know if the the Spanish Consultant kit is going to change? I noticed that it has the Large Round Stone, so I'm assuming that it'll be replaced with the one with handles. Any other changes from those in the know?

I have a lead who loves our products and the idea of doing cooking shows, but is totally not sure about how "her people" (her words not mine) will respond to our recipes. I've explained that we have recipes designed specifically for the latino market. I've even given her a copy of the Spanish...

I have several friends that are with other DS companies and carry a few of their business cards in my purse to hand out when someone mentions another business (ie: Longaberger, PartyLite, etc.) Do any of you do this? See if you can follow me on this one now ... I was at a home party the...

I am a fairly new (4 months) consultant and I have not had much luck with bookings so far. I'm just a little bit disappointed with my family & friends right now. Anyway, there is a local flea market that runs every Saturday and the booth rental is fairly inexpensive. I was wondering if anyone...

:mad: I went to my son's M.S. back to school night last night and I ran into the mother of my older son's friend. And we started talking and she asked me what I was up to and I told her I was doing Pampered Chef. She said she stopped at a stand at the Farmer's Market that displayed PC (it...

Hello, I signed to rent a booth at a local Flea Market and this would be my first time doing something like this. My main purpose for signing up for this booth is to market myself as a Pampered Chef consultant for the local community. I would like get as many bookings as possible for...

OMG I did it! :sing: I rented a cart at the Farmer's Market starting September 5 which is a Friday. They are opened Monday thru Saturday bur I don't need to be there all week. Just Friday and Saturday. Any advice is appreciated.:D

If you are looking to boost your sales, bookings AND recruiting, get yourself into a Farmer's Market or 2. I have been at 1 FM all season, on Saturday morning, but just added a 2nd one for Sunday Morning, today being the 1st. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! In addition to the $415 in Sales, I have 8 new...

Hello everyone; For those of you that set up a a Farmers Market, I would like to hear your views on it. Good or Bad. Our local Farmer's Market has a Kiosk for rent for $100 a month and I am serious considering renting it. Is that a good price? Do those of you who have a space do well...

My recruit & I are renting a space at our local farmers market this weekend. This is a new venture for us, as well as our community - usually the closest market is 18 miles from here. We would like to have some food samples to highlight some of the products. I'm thinking the triple citrus...

Okay- My brain is MUSH so I am hoping someone has one of these, so I don't have to re-invent the wheel! I need a proposal letter to request being a vendor at a local farmer's market. Help. :o

I am preparing for my Farmer's Market gig this Summer (I have the booth all Summer, but offering to fellow consultants as well) My dillema is with Drawing slips- I have heard here that if you are giving something away, they are not qualified leads, because people will just enter to win...

I am posting this in "Increasing Sales" because that was my objective when I went to this flea market ... and I think there are things I learned there that all of us can apply to our business in some way. I and two of my cluster-mates worked a booth at a flea market over Memorial Day...

I have an opportunity to advertise in a local program book that will go out to about 4000 homes. Do I have to use the Merrill ads or can I design my own? I find that their ads don't address the people who don't already know what Pampered Chef is about. They're really only good for drawing in...

Since I just moved to this area, I reserved a spot at the Farmer's Market in Crown Point for the Summer- It was only $100 for the entire Summer. I am taking every other Saturday, and opened it up to other consultants the rest of the time. Do any of you have any experience with Farmer's...

There is a flea market in the area where I live ... booths are dirt cheap. I was toying with the idea of setting a booth up just to gain contacts and talk to people. Do these work if you're not selling anything people can take home with them?

I heard about this at a meeting, but was unable to ask ayone for details. Apparently, it is a demo that shows MANY products, using one potato, but not making a meal. (Perfect for a demo at a booth!) Does anyone know the details: which products to use, in what order, to get the most use of the...

Ours is a little different. Clementina and I made the cover. Toot, toot! Here is the link: https://www.pamperedchef.com/images/cc/us/pdf/feb08_cn_es_us.pdf One of the consultants on my team is featured on page three too! Feel like a proud momma... :)

I am looking this year to expand my PC to the people who speak spanish in my area. Has anyone had any experience with this? I would love to get 2 to 3 Spanish speaking consultants to sale.

We are thinking of moving to Ky. How many consultants are there in the state? We would be some where between Louisville and Lexington. If it is too saturated I was considering giving up my business.

Hi... we ate at our favorite Mexican restaurant yesterday and in the entrance they have lots of magazines etc for people to take. Lots of the items are business op's so it got my wheels turning. Here is the problem... my spanish is limited to un poco ... and the other few things I can...

Hello everyone, I really would like to spread "my wings" in Montreal and area and looking to find local craft fairs and bazaars. Does anyone know where to find a listing on the internet to these local events? For anyone that has done these local events in their comunity, how was the success...

Product FeedbackI did our state fair last week and we had many of the new products out. People loved the Splatter Screen, the new cranberry colors, and The Appetizer Caddy and Plates. People liked the Stainless Cookware- but didn't jump at the price. I did get many bookings for Sept. once I...

list things for as discontinued items and current items here on market place. I am in needof selling off but need to price my list of items.

I have someone that is possibly interested in signing, but there are a few sticking points. If she signs she wants this to replace her full time job because she hates it, and she burns toast. 1. The market in our area is very fickle, especially here lately. Not to mention there are a ton...
