please answer my poll question
We’re rethinking the really loose way I do my green smoothies classes. Please weigh in here. Would you rather attend my class:
1. Free
or
2. Paying $15 with a chance at a free $400 BlendTec Total Blender? (and maybe the host of the class might throw in other items or gift certificates for the drawing), preregistering online.
Preregistering online will help me get a headcount to plan.
Thanks for your response–don’t look at what anyone else says before you answer though!
I say free because if I were coming for the first time I would rather pay for the Green Smoothie Diet book and feel like I walked away with something priceless in my hands. I honestly believe once someone gets on board they will figure out a way to get the nice blender. Thanks for all you do and I love my morning smoothies.
I would like the class free, but only because I have a blender. I like someones suggestion for a family discount so for family doubters. The classes would be more beneficial for me right now. Thanks, so much!
FREE
I have a great vita mixer now so I guess I’d go for the free class. If I didnt have a blender/mixer I would opt to pay the $15
Free! I do actually own a Blendtec, but even if I didn’t I’d rather buy it myself if I wanted it than spend $15 on a chance. Probability tells me I’m usually going to lose money on such propositions.
Free. $15 is a reasonable price to pay and the chance at a blender very cool but I probably would never be able to get $15 from my husband for something like that.
Free, I already have a blendtec. And those that are just researching it vs juicing like I was just a short 6 months ago or so might not want to pay $15 but they may come to a free class / seminar. Tie it in with local whole foods co-ops and the like and I think they would be well attended.
Wow! Look at all those comments! I’m all for free; I haven’t been to one of your demos; though, I’ve got your green smoothie book and the 12 steps (–not done yet) and… a blender. Althoooogh, hey…just thought of something… my brother who had cancer and who’s throat is now the diameter of a pinkie finger. Every meal he ‘eats’ has to be liquid, withOut chunks in it. So, perhaps I Would be willing to win a blender after all for the $15.00 class fee. I like what you’ve written on your website. You seem to be well-read and well-researched. So I would think the class would be worth the price. I would definitely be more likely to come if it was free though. Where do we find out about your classes?
Lynnette, I always mention classes I’m doing here, and on the GreenSmoothieGirl facebook fanpage.
How about paying the $15 and being able to bring a friend for free? I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a blender!!!!
FREE~ since seeing your website already convinced me to get me own Total Blender! But the only thing I make are you green smoothies so I’d love to have a class and get more ideas!
Either way I’d attend. Thanks.
Pay the $15 preregistration fee
Free Class – I make green smoothies almost every day and have for over 1.5 yrs. now and I have a cheap blender. I would love to have more people exposed to the info you have on making and why make green smoothies so if free gets them there great. Besides they will save enough money leaving behind the junk food that they can start to save and buy their 400.00 blender if they want one. Lov’in smoothies!!
I think that a free workshop sparks interest & you could offer t-shirts for purchase along with the blender.
I love the green smoothies & have been drinking them for about 2 years & feel great. Would love to get you to come to my area & do a presentation.
I would prefer free and forget the prize.
Either way would be fine with me. Thanks.
Hi GSG:
I prefer you charge. Not to win anything — but for the sake of the class as a whole. Freebies attract a certain crowd. A reasonable door fee weeds out the lookey-loos and tends to attract people who are more committed to their health and willing to take steps to improve. This lifts the tone of the class as a whole, and also makes your job a lot easier.
I would come either way. But I’ve put on lots of seminars, both free and otherwise — and I much prefer the otherwise.
Looking forward to your seminar –

$15 is a great bargain at a chance to win a Blendtec and listen/learn from you. I have a Blendtec (and looooove it!) but I know my mom and aunt could use one so if I were to win one, it would be awesome to be able to give my mom or aunt a Blendtec! Please come to San Antonio, Texas soon!

Robyn- either way is fine with me, but will you come to Redoondo Beach?
