For those of you have been doing PC for a while, or at least last winter how bookings went. Did your shows do well in January and February with Christmas just getting over? Just wondering what I have to look forward to! Thanks!!
 
answer to your questionLast winter I was 6 mos. pregnant, so I didn't do many shows at the beginning of the year, but I did manage to do a couple of shows for Jan., Feb. & March (just enough to keep me active)...then nothing in April (this is when I had my baby).

This winter...I already have 6 shows scheduled for January & 2 for February...

I think it depends on the specials, too. This years upcoming specials for the New Year are great compared to some from the past!
 
Hi there! I've been doing PC for a few years now and I can say that January and February can be hit or miss. Some years, I've had a lot of success with post-holiday parties as people are still in the mood to shop and spend money. Other years, it's been a bit slower as people are recovering from holiday spending and may not be as interested in buying. However, I do find that hosting Valentine's Day themed parties can be a great way to boost sales during this time. Overall, it really depends on your customer base and how you market your parties. Best of luck to you!
