I only need to sell $156. more to reach $2000. in sales for the month of May. My first show was fantastic, it was $1506. in sales! My second show was a bit of a flop, it was only $338. in sales. I have a 3rd show scheduled but it's not until May 31st and I won't be able to get it in before the end of the month!

Any ideas as to how I can reach the $2000. on time? :confused:
 
Fund-Raiser or Catalog showI'm going around to local businesses, asking them if they would try to get at least 10 orders for the American Cancer Society. I have 1 at the electric company, 3 local convience stores, 4 banks ( 2 of them have 2 more branches here also, so that's 8) 1 family member is taking it to his work (factory), 2 friends that have a Beauty Shop and 1 friend that is taking her's around work and the ball field. This is my first fund-raiser, I hope it works out. :eek: I hope I've helped you get some ideas.
warm wishes,
Brandy
 
Have you submitted those shows? If not, do your Big MAC calls....call them to thank them for their order, you really enjoyed meeting them, did they have fun, go over the order with them (a lot of times they will add on), did they get everything they wanted, ask if they are interested in having their own show, thank them again.

You will often add on several hundred dollars to your order.

Hi there! It sounds like you have had a great start to your month with your first show, and even though your second show wasn't as successful, you are so close to reaching your goal of $2000 in sales for May! Don't worry about not being able to fit in another show before the end of the month - there are still a few days left to reach your goal. Here are some ideas that may help:1. Host a virtual party: With the current situation, many people are still hesitant to gather in person. Consider hosting a virtual party where you can showcase your products and take orders from your guests.2. Offer a limited-time promotion: Sometimes a discount or a special offer can entice customers to make a purchase. Consider offering a discount on a popular product or a bundle deal to boost your sales.3. Reach out to past customers: Don't be afraid to reach out to past customers and remind them of any products they may have been interested in but haven't purchased yet. This could be a great opportunity to make some additional sales.4. Utilize social media: Take advantage of social media platforms to promote your products and reach a wider audience. You can post product photos, testimonials from happy customers, and even host a live demonstration or Q&A session.Remember, every sale counts, so don't give up and keep promoting your business. Best of luck in reaching your goal! :)
