Okay everyone, well my first show wasn't that bad as far as how I did, the bummer was that 15 people had RSVP'd the host and only 5 showed. We had fun though, they loved the raffle ticket thing I did, everyone bought one. I did 309- at the show, but there are more outside orders coming in, I let everyone try out the products which made two people buy the Food Chopper. I also booked a show for August, and another woman asked to do a bridal shower next Spring.... I have two shows next weekend...I am a little bummed about the turnout, and the amount $, but there is no where to go but up! :p
 
It sounds like you had a great show! You got lots of leads and for 5 people, $309 is great, especially since you have more orders coming.

You go girl!! You're right, the only way to go is up, and that is the direction you are going!
