So...we were supposed to do this big festival this weekend in my home town, but because no one was interested in working the shifts, we cancelled it. I'm really bummed because I was hoping for some hot leads to get my summer going.

So...because I'll be in town, walking around checking out the booths, and there will be TRIPLE the people in town that there normally is, I really want to utilize this time.

I'm thinking of walking around and networking. Not so much running up to strangers and putting a flyer in their hand, but having an incentive I can share with folks I know that I run into.

Maybe... call me by midnight to book your summer show and get _____. Or get put into a drawing for _________.

What do you think? I won't be talking to everyone - my husband will be doing some of this for me as well. Please help!
 
I like "call me by midnight." I'd offer $10 EXTRA free product.You might also want to add something about the June specials (free cookbook with EVERY ORDER.)I have a booth tomorrow and am mulling a coupon along these lines
 
Hey there, that's a bummer about the festival being cancelled. I can understand how disappointing that must be, especially if you were hoping to get some leads for your summer gigs. But it sounds like you have a great idea for making the most of the increased foot traffic in town. Networking is always a good idea, and having an incentive to offer potential clients is a smart move. I like your idea of offering a special deal if they book by midnight or entering them into a drawing. It's a great way to catch people's attention without being too pushy. And having your husband help out is a great idea too. Good luck with your networking and I hope it leads to some successful summer bookings!
