WHAT MAKES A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE?
4
GREAT EXPERIENCES ARE DIFFERENTIATORS
Think of a great experience that you’ve had in the past – where was it? What set it apart? There are a number of companies aside from Starbucks that deliver great experiences
5
THE GROWING IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCES
9 out of 10 US consumers say they would pay more to ensure a superior experience Americans tell an average of 9 people about good experiences, and tell 16 people about poor experiences Consumer spending on experiences has increased 70% since 1987 78% of millennials would rather spend money on a desirable experience vs. product purchases
6
Experiences are becoming increasingly important – our economy has shifted from goods to services and services to experiences From Disney to Starbucks, companies that deliver great experiences are positioned to grow and prosper

Starbucks illustrates the power of delivering a great experience
- Can charge a premium price and benefit from customer loyalty

NET PROMOTER SCORE ‘NPS’
NPS is a standardized measure of customer satisfaction We’ve asked over 150K hosts and guests : Would you recommend attending (or hosting) a Pampered Chef show to your family and friends? Our score from hosts is really strong, but the score from guests is below other best in class companies such as Apple or Nordstrom Guest experience is important because leads to more bookings and sales We are surveying customers to understand their interaction with Pampered Chef and how likely they are to refer us to friends Currently our score is [] and a great score is around 70+% which means we have a great opportunity to improve!

SURVEY AND INTERVIEW FEEDBACK
Guests reported they love: Products and the opportunity to “try before they buy” Fun recipe ideas and food or product tips Guests reported they disliked: Pressure to host the next party or become a Consultant The slow check-out process Hosts reported: Loved earning rewards, and sharing PC with friends Discomfort sharing link between sales and host rewards Feeling of pressure

HOW CAN WE IMPROVE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE?
19
“Do what you do so well, that they will want to see it again and bring their friends” – Walt Disney
Think about how we would want guests and hosts to talk about their experience after they leave a show… Are we currently happy with what they would say?
20
OUR CUSTOMERS VALUE LEARNING
Guests are more engaged when they are learning Help your team think of ways to: Include even more food and product tips Food history is great to share at their shows I can talk about my show and pizza, tips, etc.
21
OUR CUSTOMERS DESIRE HEALTHY QUICK MEALS
Consumers are interested in cooking healthy meals with fresh ingredients, in 30 minutes or less, that still feel ‘from scratch’ Help your team suggest new recipes that are quick, healthy and fun.
22
WE CAN PROVIDE A BALANCED SHOW EXPERIENCE
We learned the guests and hosts least like the feeling of obligation at shows Your show is like a recipe, hearing great tips, trying the products and socializing are the main ingredients. Your booking and recruiting messages are the seasoning – essential to include, but you don’t want them to be overpowering or too lengthy “Don’t you think its tacky to invite people to a party at your house and pressure them to buy? I certainly do…There are too many gimmicks, too much game playing…presentations were all about making people feel obligated.” – Doris Christopher
23
WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH EXPERIENCES FOR THE REST OF 2016?
24
OUR NEXT STEPS Our Experience Big Bet Team will continue to learn, pilot and refine experiences in 2016 We are already mapping out how to optimize the current show, as well as looking at piloting new experiences so look more news, results and information in the coming months! This will continue to be a critical focus for us moving forward
