A Cooking Demonstration is one of the best ways to increase your sales of Kamado Joe grills and accessories. Potential customers can see, smell and taste the food from one of our grills in use. Cooking demonstrations are easy to do and we've put together a guide for making them a success.

Preparing for Your Cooking Demonstration 

1. Choose one or two employees who have an interest and experience in cooking on a Kamado Joe grill. Make sure that they understand the features, operation, available accessories, pricing and the warranty information. They will be an active salesperson while they are cooking.
2. If they are asked a question and they do not know the answer, direct them to www.KamadoJoe.com.
3. Perform cooking demonstrations during high traffic days. A Saturday from 10am - 2pm is typically the best.
4. During grilling season, it is beneficial to perform a demonstration at least twice a month.
5. Choose food that can be grilled in a short time, so samples can be handed out to customers regularly.
6. Have Kamado Joe product brochures handy for customers who may be interested, but may not want to talk to your employee.
7. Display Kamado Joe accessories to show potential customers how they can extend the flexibilty of our grills.
