Hi Guys, I am really new to this site but I have to say I LOVE it! It's so nice to be able to read and see what ya'll are doing in your biz! My director and cluster are aways away (4 hrs) so I am dependent upon email and the phone for interaction! THANK YOU for this site!!!
I live in a small town (pop 3000) in the mountains in Northern Ca. It is 1 1/2 hrs to the closest town down a crazy switchback road or 2 1/2 hrs the other way to the next town. My issue is I feel like I need to get out of my box and I'm not sure how at this point. I have been doing PC for 2 years and feel like I am practically begging for shows now! I have in the past traveled up to 5 hrs for a show just to get the business. Luckily I have family to stay with but with gas prices going sky high my budget isn’t as flexible! I have done a few fundraisers for my son's pre-school but living in such a small place (we have 1 school K-6 and 1 High School 6-12) everyone is always selling something and this time of year everyone is sick of even the thought! I have hit up the schools for fundraisers and had no luck there! So I am at a loss and in need of some NEW ideas for bookings & fundraisers near and far! I also send out the monthly newsletter but I think most just delete it. I have asked a few times on them for my customers to email me back and I would send them a free SB...out of 276 only 2-5 respond.. And it's the same people every time! We have no craft fairs or anything like that up here. The last bizarre we had I was told I was not allowed because the Fire Bell's do the baking and it had to be hand made crafts. I was a little upset but hey what are you gonna do?
Another issue for me is the weather! As I'm typing it's snowing which = no driving because it's not safe to go down the mountain in the snow and I'm lucky if I can make it out of my driveway.....lol
I'm just not ready to give up yet! I have set a goal to earn my incentive trip next year and take my biz to the next level. I WANT TO BE A DIRECTOR!! I’m ready and feel like God is giving me this opportunity for a reason. So I am searching for some new ideas! I have been struggling for the past few months however when I ask for guidance I always seem to get some little conformation that I need to keep going. So now I have decided it’s my job to find out how! lol
I would appreciate any ideas you would like to share. Thanks again for such a great site!
