I have only been a consultant for 5 months so i am still learning. I really want to cruise in '09 so I want to boost bookings/sales. I was hoping you guys had some tips/ideas on games or anything else that helps you. I am going to try a book to look game. Where the person gets an envelope and in it is frre shipping,tax,10% off, or 1 more thing I can not recall right now and if people wnat to see what they won they need to book a show. If 2 people book then the hostess of that show gets an aditional 1/2 price items up to a certain limit. I want to fill jan and i feel it is to late i have 2 shows booked and that is it so now my focus is feb i want the dble points.
 
It's not a game (I'm not good at games) but when I started using the following, my bookings really had an increase - I got these from someone on this site - and I love them! I have my host stand beside me, and I say "I've discovered that not everyone understands just how incredible our host benefits are - so I'd like to show you what you get when you host a show".......and then I play it up big when I hand each coupon to the host.

Those are great, Becky! I think I'm going to start using them myself.
 
Don't give a host anything at her party for bookings, there is no guarantee that the show will hold! And she may talk her friends into booking so she gets it then they cancel!

I sometimes give away a free kitchen show (mailing invites and buying ingredients myself). I put a date on it, either by the end of the month or middle of the next month depending on when the show is. I allow it to be transferable if someone doesn't want it, they can give it to someone else at the party. I've booked alot of people this way who wouldn't have normally book. I have a deal or no deal game I do with envelopes with briefcase stickers on them (I was supposed to post this a while ago and cannot find it yet). I tell everyone to pick an envelope during the party. They all have new items under $10 (I just tell them new items). When they place their order they get a chance to book or not book. If they book they open their envelope and they get that item on their order AT THEIR PARTY. This has helped also.
 
Hi there! Congratulations on becoming a consultant and wanting to boost your bookings and sales. One tip that has worked for me is to offer a special incentive for people who book a show during a specific time period. For example, you could offer a free product or discount to the host/hostess if they book a show in January. This will not only help fill your January calendar, but it will also encourage people to book future shows as well. Another idea is to offer a referral program, where current hosts/hostesses can earn rewards for referring their friends and family to book a show with you. Good luck with filling your calendar and earning those double points in February!
