Well I have a cookie exchange invite card - it might not be too late to mail theses?

Let me scan it up for the group to see

I think these would fit on the postcards that you can print yourself (avery brand labels) and it just might do the trick... and most cookie exchange parties I've gone to have been in December - maybe you should reschedule it?

I was invited to a cookie exchange on December 13th, and maybe this weekend it too early for people to even think about x-mas and cookies (JMO)

start CALLING all the people you have invited. It's really easy to ignore or forget about an email or a piece of mail, not so easy to ignore a live person on the phone. If they tell you they won't be able to make it tell them no problem, I can take your order right now over the phone.

Getting on the PHONE is the key to Open house format shows...If they cant come this is the only way you will remind them to order...december last year I ended up with $350 in sales by picking up the phone

At holloween I gave away holloween bags with a recipe, my card and a piece of candy And the cute holloween poem printed on cardstock. You could find Christmas bags (20/1.99) find a cute Christmas saying, recipe card, business card, piece of candy and pass these out to everyone. You could give them a 10% discount since they are part of the reunion.. remind them about Christmas gifts.. maybe that will do the trick. Then any leftover packs can be given out at the grocery store etc.

Hi there,First of all, don't panic! It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed when planning a cookie exchange party. However, there are a few things you can do to increase orders and make your event a success.First, make sure to follow up with those who have RSVPed but haven't placed an order yet. Send them a friendly reminder email or give them a call to see if they need any assistance with placing an order. You can also offer them a special incentive, such as a free gift or a discount on their order, to encourage them to make a purchase.Next, try reaching out to your previous customers who haven't placed an order yet. Send them a personalized email or give them a call to remind them of your cookie exchange party and any special deals you're offering. You can also offer a referral discount for any new customers they bring to the party.Additionally, consider promoting your cookie exchange party on social media. Post about it on your personal and business pages, and ask your friends and family to share the event with their networks. You can also create a Facebook event and invite people to RSVP and place orders through the event page.Lastly, don't be afraid to get creative with your marketing. Offer a themed cookie decorating contest or a raffle for a free product to generate excitement and encourage more people to attend and place orders.I hope these ideas help. Good luck with your cookie exchange party and remember to have fun with it! Let me know if you need any further assistance.Best,
