Boost Bookings for March: Tips for Securing 3-4 More Reservations

[SillyChef]

I need ideas on how to get 3-4 more bookings for March. Any ideas?

Try offering the choice of the Host Special for free when they have 10 or more orders. And if they have 10 adult guests in attendance offer to buy the ingredients (or reimburse the cost).

Good idea!

I know you are newer, but if you know anyone who has the USG you can call and tell them the upgrade is available for less than $24 when they host in March. I also called people who put it down as a wanted item on the back of the drawing slips.

Pick up the phone and call people.

Make some customer care calls to past customers and ask them to book!

Done that. No one is interested.... WTHeck! I thought, new catalog... MORE shows. Totally different. For me anyway

Offer a March-only theme, like Power Cooking or Easy Easter (with a brunch recipe).

I was thinking of have a Pampered Chef Poker Party. We could make finger snacks at first and for the game we would play poker, whoever won at the poker game would get the host specials.

Not sure about your area, but a lot of people love to play poker here on base.

The poker idea is great, especially for a guys only show (like near mother's day or other holidays). My brother has regular poker games that my DH goes to, so I may use your idea. Thanks for sharing!

What does DH stand for?

 

[gilliandanielle]

DH= dear husband

 

[gilliandanielle]

...or d@mn husband depending on the context!

LOL ~ Thanks, there are a few more that I have read and didn't know. I'll ask as I find them.

Somewhere there is an abbreviation list....

Well, I called my mom and asked if she would host a show in March. She will. My husband is going to do a catalog show at work. I send something PC to his work each friday, (recipe) so I have a okay customer base there. I will let them know about getting the host special for FREE. So now I am at 1-3 more shows. Thanks ladies!

I also want about 4 more bookings for March. I REALLY want to go to Paris this year, but I'll need to consistently have 8 shows per month and I only have 3 booked for March.
