Boost Bookings: Creative Ideas to Fill Your Party Calendar

[pcfleming]

I am in a funk right now. Noone seems to want to book a party. I have my open house Sunday, and I have one more party this month. Any new ideas on something fun to draw some bookings?

One thing that I just started doing at my shows is I let the guest know that if they book a party with me on the dates that I say during the shows... Is I will pay for their shipping but in order for me to pay for their shipping they have to book a party with in a two week time frame from the date of the current party..... also reciving 10 % off for entiere year gets them wanting to host a shwo too!!!
See if their is other consultants for differnt companies in teh area that you live in that might be willing to do a party exchange with you..... or a catalog exchange ...... Refer back to your list of 100, call past hostess, and past guest.

I'd play up a couple of things. Get your hosts of shows to push others to have a show so that she can order the hosts special from their shows. Also play up "sets" related to the host specials at the shows. For september that was do a show for $x and get a set of the glazed stoneware for $x. For october it is get the entire set of the new forged cutlery, honing tool, and bar board, for under $100 (search files for forged). Also when talking to your 100 remind them that shows are a great way for them to do their holiday shopping for "free" since they could use their host benefits to do some of their holiday shopping. And if you have a website then email all your past customers/hosts as well as friends and family with the new discontinued ordering options.
