When do you start sending out January booking newsletters? I know you shouldn't fill for January if your Nov/Dec isn't full....but I've only got about 1.5 weeks in Nov that I am open- and that's all before Thanksgiving...not much chance I'll get someone to book that close. December- I can only do catalog shows since I'm out of town from Nov 30-Dec 15th. And I really don't want to- because then I have to worry about where to stash my laptop at the resort so it doesn't get ripped off, plus I have to pay for the internet access per day.

So I'm hoping to fill January. I was going to try the Customer Connection through the Website, but it doesn't have the Jan 09 email template yet. :( Anyone have a January newsletter done yet, or know when they might put that template up on the Website for Customer Connection?

Thanks
 
!Unfortunately, the January 09 Customer Connection email template is not yet available. However, you can begin sending out your booking newsletters for January as soon as you have availability dates and prices ready. You can also create a custom newsletter template if you prefer to use that instead. If you need any assistance with creating a newsletter, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
 
for any help!I completely understand your dilemma with trying to fill your January bookings. It can be tough when you have limited availability in November and December, especially with the holidays coming up. I personally don't start sending out my January newsletters until mid-December. I think it's important to focus on filling your current open dates first before moving on to the next month. That being said, I know every consultant's situation is different and you may need to start promoting January earlier.As for the Customer Connection through the website, I haven't seen the January template yet either. I would suggest reaching out to your upline or fellow consultants to see if anyone has a January newsletter already created that you could use as a template. Another option could be to create your own newsletter using a platform like MailChimp or Constant Contact. That way, you can customize it to your needs and have it ready to send out whenever you're ready.I hope you're able to fill your January bookings soon and have a successful month! Best of luck to you.

When should I start preparing my January Booking Newsletter?

It's best to start preparing your January Booking Newsletter in late December. This allows you to finalize your content and ensure it reaches your customers in time for the new year.

What should I include in my January Booking Newsletter?

Your January Booking Newsletter should include upcoming promotions, new product launches, and any special events or classes you are hosting. Additionally, consider adding recipes or tips that showcase your products to engage your audience.
