Hey! I really need some help. My Director ask me to help on our next monthly meeting. She wants me to talk about getting bookings. I printed off the 83 ways to get booking and the ABC bookings. I thought about making everyone a copy of those. Then I just got my theme binder going. I was going to take it also. Anyone have any other ideas? Please help!!!

I have a tips page that I review every now & then before I go to a show. It has booking phrases & ways to tie bookings in during your demos. It's something about "Planting the Booking Seed." I've had it for quite a while and don't recall where I got it or even if I have it in electronic form. I'm at the lake this weekend, but when I get home I will check. If all else fails, I'll scan it in. If someone else has this Planting Seeds, can you post for her? I think she'll like it!

Hi Crystal,

When I am trying to book earlier in the month,because I find people tend to book at the end of the month.
I offer the Medium Bar Pan for the price of the day they book on (eg. September 5th $5) I find this really works for me., also you could offer to bring the recipe groceries and she just invites the friends then she doesn't have to worry about buying the food and make something simple and cheap like Apple Nut Ring and use chocolate chips instead of nuts
I hope this helps and remember when you present at your meeting SMILE

Hey there! If your director asked you to talk about getting bookings then you must be doing something right!!! Just tell everyone what you usually do and why you think it works. Then throw in some other tips!!! I am sure you will do great!!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I use incentives to boost bookings at the meeting?

Offering incentives is a great way to motivate attendees. Consider providing discounts on products, free samples, or entry into a raffle for those who book a party during the meeting. Make sure to clearly communicate the benefits of hosting, such as exclusive products or discounts for hosts.

Themes can make your meeting more appealing and memorable. Consider themes like "Fall Harvest," "Holiday Prep," or "Healthy Cooking." Tailor your product demonstrations and discussions to fit the theme, making it relevant and exciting for potential hosts.
