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!
Free. I already bought a Blendtec through your site.
I would love to go to one of your classes and wouldn’t mind paying $15.00 even without the raffle!
free
i would rather have a prize to win your class. who knows somebody might get a $400 blender and it sit in the cabinet. at least they could learn something with your free class. I would suggest charging for the class and let everyone know the money goes toward winning somehting educational. sell it like a raffle ticket and maybe blendtec would sponsor your class and have a deal for products by taking your class.
I would attend for free because I have never been to one of your classes/seminars and don’t know what to expect. I am sure they would be great!
I wouldn’t mind paying $5.00 to get in and everyone could/would pay $5.00

Dear Robyn,
First of all, thank you for doing the classes. The one in Dallas was wonderful. I told some of the employees at another Whole Foods store in my area about your presentation and I was happy to have 3 friends there. I would rather have the class FREE, enabling us to invite several people to come, if possible, to be educated first hand by you.
Thanks again,
Jo M
If one of us in attendance is guaranteed to win a Blendtec, I would gladly put in $15 to have the possibility of taking one home. Boo Ya!
Free, I already have a blender. Besides every time I attend a class I learn something new. I am having a really hard time with finances as I am sure everyone is too. Also, if I invite other friends, I think I would have an easier time getting them to come if it was free.
Free. I already have a blender.
Free is great. Especially right now at this time of the economy when so many people are really needing it and are really appreciating the help. Every little bit counts. Thanks Robyn.
I think a FREE class would always be best. I think you will get more people out to your classes that way. People who are just learning about healthy eating lifestyle would also more more apt to go to a class that is free.
$15 – I to already have a blender, but the opportunity for someone else to win one would be a great pleasure.
I’m definitely casting my vote for option number 2. – I would LOVE to have a chance at winning one of those high tech blenders. ~ Dennis
I would like to go for free. Thank you
I’d prefer free. Already have a Blendtec. But you’re definitely worth the $15. Good point however, that if it’s free more couples would attend. In any case, YOU ARE AMAZING!
Well I already have a Blender so I’d say free. On the other hand I’d pay $15 to go to one anyway just so someone else has a chance for a free one. I remember how much it hurt my wallet to get mine.
FREE.
MORE PEOPLE CAN BE EXPOSED TO THE CONCEPT OF GOOD NUTRITION
I would like it to be free. I already have both the Vita-mix and Blendtec machines. Plus , I have small children and it is dificult to leave home and go somewere. But, if you were to come to my town, and still have to charge a small fee, I would love the chance to come to your class!
$15 is not very much to pay for your time and great information. Your classes should not be free – that implies that the information you provide is not valuable. You already give away great free contact through your website and e-mails. At the very least you could donate a portion of the funds to a cause.
The blender raffle is a fabulous bonus!
I already own a blendtec so I’m basically looking for info
FREE !!!
Hey there! I would do either, although I already have a Blentec. It would def be worth $15 to see you though. Whatever you want to do. Just come to Nyc to do it! Lol! Take care.

Free please. I have a Vitamix that I love plus a free seminar is better for newbies who are unsure of green smoothing.
Pre-registration and $15. Since I already have a blender, it would be great to get another one to give as a gift to family or friends who would be interested in better health. I can already think of someone. I am a newbe and anxious to learn all you have to teach me about eating healthy. Thanks
If the class was near by I would pay the 15.00
$15.00 is a small fee for the education & information, plus you probably offer samples. I already have a blendtec but its always good to have more than one. Another option is to offer the meeting for free and if anyone wants to take a chance, buy a raffle ticket!
I would gladly pay $15.00 for a class that teaches you how to become healthier. I love your site and have been making some of your smoothie’s that I get from online, and even my grandchildren love them. They don’t seem to be bothered by the color of them at all. a
And having a chance to win a Blendtec total blender, well, I have been wanting one of these blenders for a long time.
Do you ever come to Kansas? Would love to have you here!!
it’s a win-win either way
Free!
Hi Robyn, I would pay $15 for the seminar. The chance to win the blender is a bonus. Thank you!
p.s. please come to Northern California!!
Please come to houston! I would pay 15$ for a chance at a free blender! Thanks! Lisa
I love free classes, it is easier to bring friends to them, and husbands too. Also, I’d rather not help foot the bill to buy someone else a blender, thanks.

I think you could have it both ways since blender is great and new people free is better before they commit.
Hi Robyn!
I would pay for sure! either way I think you need to come to Canada! Edmonton Alberta! we’d love to have you!!!
(P.S you can’t satisfy everyone)
I already have the blender, so FREE is good! It would also make it easier to convince my friends to come learn how easy and yummy eating healthy can be!
Thanks!
Park City, UT
I live between the Phila. PA and Princeton, NJ area and would gladly pay $15 to attend and get a chance to win a blender.
I like free since I live in central Florida and not in the city and usually I have to drive a ways to get to classes.
$15 and a chance to win for sure!
What about charging the $15 and if someone asks to participate because they have a blender, let them?! I don’t know..
Hi Robin,
I will pay for sure, you should come to Oberlin, Ohio, we have a great community here that is always open to learn new ways to stay healthy, and we really need more moms in this movement.
I attended your free 1.5 hour demo in San Diego last year. (Is that the same as a class?) Enjoyed the info and the sample of your smoothie. I would not have attended if there were a $15 charge. I don’t think the store where you appeared would have allowed you to charge. Or at least they’ve never charged for any classes that I know of.
Free, I too already have a Blend Tec and a HealthMaster!
Definitely FREE! More people would be likely to attend. A free blender is nice but free admission is something everybody gets not just one person.
I would pay the $15. Hope to see you!
$15 is nothing compared to the valuable information I think that will be received, plus the chance at a few freebies. I hope to see you in Indy soon.
Thanks for all your hard work and valuable information.
Bob
I think the $15/class is fair. What about a family discount? Some family members need more convincing.
I agree with Ms. Cassie “$15 is not very much to pay for your time and great information. Your classes should not be free.” Anyways if someone wants free they can always look for you at youtube. I will love to take one of your classes!! <3
I would rather have the class free. I think that more people would come and then your presentation could get them hooked! Are you doing any more classes in the the Utah, SL, or Davis County area? Unfortunately I can’t make it to the Lehi class.
PAY and WIN!!! yippee!
AND I already owe a Blendex, but what a great gift for one of my friends!
