Pass the Tool Game
It's nothing fancy but the guests seem to like it, it lasts throughout the whole show, it makes the guests WANT to hear about hosting benefits, everyone gets involved, and if you ever have some "dead air" time where you need something to say and your brain has temporarily quit functioning - it gives you a quick joke. I feel like I should throw a drumroll in here! lol!
The Pass the ________ Game! Fill in the blank with whatever tool you want to give away. I always do something different in case you see the same people at shows a lot and make it something people would really want to win.
I used a slice 'n serve last time - the pizza cutter is a good one and of course any scraper (the super swat is fun, too - an inexpensive!). The "magic word" is Host (or any word that has host in it like - hosting, hosted, hosts etc...) Every time I say it they pass the tool and whoever has it at the end wins.
During my intro I tell them the magic word and say, "During the show I'm going to be sharing all of the benefits of hosting your own show. So by the end of my demo you'll all want to host your own show - but I BEG you please don't mob me in a panic... I have plenty of dates to go around!" They always laugh at that.
I mention all the hosting features throughout the demo - and if I ever get stuck for something to say while spreading a filling or filling the EAD etc... -I throw in a "Host, host, host, host, host!" which makes them laugh as they try to figure out how many I said and who should be holding it.
As I get ready to close I announce, "This is almost the end of the Pass the _______ Game so listen closely." I quickly go over the benefits - one more time. Point out that when they host their show they can choose from a number of different themes and recipes (and list the themes) so that no two shows are the same. If I'm offering anything in addition to the company I put it in here. Then I "unveil" the next month's Host bonus.
Finally I announce the game is over. I say: "Who has the _________? "ongratulations! You are now the proud owner of your very own_________! I hope you'll both be very happy together."
Hand her the use and care card and point out to everyone that every PC product comes with one.
