Embrace Opportunity the season of
We have just introduced our New Fall Flavours right across Canada and the rave reviews are already rolling in.
A new season reminds us of new beginnings.
Let’s embrace the changing seasons and move our business forward with fresh new products and new opportunities. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we are reminded once again how grateful we are for our family of Consultants. At our recent Taste on Tours the offers of help, the sharing of business tips, the generosity and the warm hugs all around remind us of how truly blessed we are. We love to see our Sunset Family growing together.
A new season is here and it is the busiest season of the year.
This is the perfect time of the year to offer the gift of Sunset Gourmet. As we think about giving thanks, sponsoring and giving someone the opportunity to change their life is the most selfless thing you can do in your business. Share the dream and vision of what the future can hold.
Embrace Fall and all of the opportunities before us. There is something so amazingly beautiful about Fall and nature’s magic as it turns our landscapes a rich golden hue.
With a thankful heart we wish you a Prosperous Season ahead.

Congratulations to our 2024 Fall & Winter Catalogue Consultants
We are so proud to feature these Consultants on the pages of our Fall & Winter Catalogue...
Sunset Gourmet is helping me realize my dream; after a lifetime of working for someone else, I am now building my own business. This adventure for me has only begun and I am having so much fun, meeting new people and learning new things. The opportunities seem endless. I am so happy I took the leap and signed up to be a Sunset Gourmet consultant.

I have been with Sunset Gourmet for 11 years. One of the things that I have always loved about this company is how we are always encouraged to really work “our” business to meet our needs, there is never pressure to sell but rather to “Do You”. I have had pockets of time throughout my career where I have dedicated more time to the business and it has always paid off. I absolutely love to talk food with people and love all the comments I get about the products on social media. I hope to meet many more new customers as I share my love for these amazing products!
My favourite part of my Sunset Gourmet business is the people you meet along the way and of course, sharing delicious easy meal planning options. We absolutely love meal prepping at our home. When you live a busy life, having healthy meal choices ready in the freezer to cook makes mealtime feel easier. I have a full-time career, so I run my Sunset Gourmet business when it works with my family’s schedule. I have many repeat customers who order regularly and I enjoy the flexibility of working my Sunset Gourmet business around my job and my family commitments.

Joining Sunset Gourmet was a decision fueled by my passion for delicious food and the desire for a flexible and rewarding opportunity. I love the products that allow me to elevate my everyday meals with amazing flavours and convenience. What sets Sunset Gourmet apart for me, is not only the great taste but also the strong commitment to exceptional customer service. Being part of Sunset Gourmet isn’t just about selling products; it’s about connecting with others over a shared love for great food and unforgettable experiences. My journey with Sunset Gourmet is one of culinary discovery, personal growth, and endless opportunity, and I am so happy with my decision.

The delicious flavours of
Fall warm your heart and fill your soul!
Turn up the flavour with our new seasonings
Whether you’re craving a taste of the Mediterranean or a zesty blend of Cajun Seasoning, we’ve got your meals covered!
The introduction of new products and new recipes is always so exciting for you and your customers. It adds a level of excitement for fall and we are entering our busiest season of the year.
Our new seasonings are jam packed with flavour and to quote Terry Baumle,
“Remember, these seasonings are all-natural, and a pinch packs a punch .”
Terry shares that these words are very powerful when she has new customers who are considering purchasing our seasonings. When they realize it takes so little, first time buyers keep coming back for more when they quickly realize the great value.

Sell the Benefits of Our Products
Customers need to understand how our products are going to benefit them. How are they going to impact them and how they are going to make a difference.
How is it going to make my life easier?
How is it going to save me time and money?
Show the VALUE by SHARING the versatility.
Use your SMILE to change the world... don’t let the world change your smile.
The Power of a Smile
You can’t overestimate the importance of a smile in business. It costs absolutely nothing, it’s effortless to implement and most importantly, it can make a big difference to the culture and health of your business.
Smiling changes your body language, your attitude to situations and how your customers ultimately see you as a person and your business.
The introduction of our new products certainly brought
lots of smiles at Taste on Tour. There is always so much excitement around a new season launch.
Our new Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip & Dessert Mix was very popular at our recent Taste on Tour. Whether you are doing an online party, face-to-face party, fundraiser or vendor event don’t forget to mention to your customers the benefits of buying this new and popular item. They get a delicious dessert and they are helping to make the world a little brighter for those less fortunate.
Sunset Gourmet will donate $1.00 for each box of the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip & Dessert Mix that is sold in support of the Canadian Feed the Children Organization. We know that no one person can do everything, but everyone can do something. Let us join hands in making the world a little better for those in need.
Creating Positive Vibes and Growing Your Business!
Whether you are doing a Virtual Party, In-home Party, going live on Facebook to introduce yourself or seeing Customers at Vendor Events we all know that people are attracted to those who give off Positive Vibes. A positive mindset can help build strong relationships
Use your SMILE to greet and engage!
Smiling is universally considered to be a way we display joy. It can communicate our internal world to people on the outside, and it can be a welcoming sign to new people.
At your parties whether virtually or in person always give your guests positive affirmations. Use opening words like: You are in for a real treat or you are going to be so glad you came or we are going to have so much fun tonight. This will set the tone for how your guests are going to enjoy the event.

Congratulations to Carrie Boerrichter Blackfoot, Alberta
Gloria Leite Warman, SK
Gloria joined in May 2024 and had sales of $4060 in August! We asked Gloria about her Sunset Gourmet journey so far...
Before joining in May, had you heard of Sunset Gourmet?
Yes, I had heard of and used Sunset Gourmet for the past 4 or 5 years. I bought it at trade shows. When my good friend Colleen Janex started selling it, I supported her and bought regularly. I’ve been a Foodie forever and am a real spice lover (call me a Spice Girl ��), I have a dear husband who loves my cooking and I’m always looking for a way to change up our meals and make them even more delicious. Sunset Gourmet has so many enticing dips, breads and desserts and I love all the seasonings. I really knew very little about the company except that I really enjoyed the food and the diversity of products.
Tell us what made you join now?
I joined because I was retiring in June from a long financial planning career. I wanted something where I could work as little or as much as I wanted to and I was my own boss.
How do you promote your Sunset Gourmet business?
I stay busy doing 1 to 2 things a week. Facebook parties, Come & Go Taste Testing Parties and in July & August, I did 2 trade shows each Friday, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. My goal was $500 a week and I reached my goal and more! I am doing a Meal Planning event in October and one in November. I am also planning to do Thanksgiving and Christmas trade shows to promote my business. I’m planning a “Grow Your Group VIP Page Contest“ by doing a draw with all the new people who join my page or refer someone who joins my page. The more people watching my daily posts... the more online parties I hope to have!
What avenues have you found to be most successful?
I hand out business cards to almost everyone I meet and I also started a VIP Facebook page where I do sales and I do draws to invite more people to my page. I print out and offer recipes to give customers another idea for the product they bought. I consistently try to upsell; if I sell a soup, I try to sell a bread; If I sell a dip, I try to show how to make it into a dessert too. If I sell a seasoning, I offer a sauce to show wet & dry options for flavouring meals. I tell everyone (friends, family, neighbours, etc...) about my business. I am hoping to book a Freezer Meal Workshop and a Fundraiser soon. I plan to speak to teachers about doing both of those, as I have a friend who is an EA. I’ve done Come & Go Taste Testing Parties (both indoors and in the garden/on the deck) and these are my favourite thing to do! I sell as much in one afternoon as I do almost all week in a Facebook party or in 2 small trade shows.
This is our first new season launch that you have been a part of, what do you think?
The New Fall launch was fabulous, I was thrilled to meet and actually talk to Audrey at Taste on Tour! The food spoke for itself and the chili (a family favourite) and biscuits were my favourite items. The dips were very tasty too. I am a chocolate lover and the 2 new Hot Cocoa Mixes were the perfect ending to a great event (especially when we mixed them together).
What are your favourite products, how do you use Sunset Gourmet in your everyday life?
That’s difficult as I love ❤ them all, but I have to say (as a Spice Girl) the Oh So! trio was my first love! I use the seasonings the most, in fact, I don’t even put them away anymore, they’re by my stove and I’m constantly using them. I love trying new recipes and love to change up a favourite recipe by trying different seasonings in them. I also love the dips for entertaining, especially the cold dips as my hubby is a veggie fan.
I’m a big believer that you have to use or try an item or product to be able to sell it. You can’t say how good something is unless you have personally tried it! Being a big Foodie, I’m constantly looking up recipes, saving pictures and sharing ideas or meal menus using our products in my VIP group. I work very hard at anything I do, if I find a passion for something, I give it my all and that is what I am doing with my Sunset Gourmet business, thank you for the opportunity!
