chefpelkey said:Linda, How will you do the mystery host with teachers? I am a school counselor and feel like my summer has been bare b/c we wait until the summer to do everything and then our personal calendars are so full. So, a lot of my friends and contacts are teachers and have not had time for a show. Any suggestions are appreciated!
chefpelkey said:Ginny,

Jillybill said:I HAD a bare August calendar except for one show and then I:
1) really talked up the idea of a show to my friend (whose catty show in July got NO orders) and got a cooking show from her
2) decided to pamper my office before I leave at the end of the month, with the new fall catalogs. These ladies bought $400 of stuff from me at my Grand Opening! Even if the result isn't as good, they deserve a treat.
3) talked up the idea of catalog show/business pampering to my nurse SIL because her cooking show was $355...not terrible but my worst show so far since my first two were both around $800. She's doing one in August.
So now I'm at four. I'm really hoping my mother's show will turn out some August bookings, as it is on the 9th, so pretty early in the month.

Go figure!!!
One option is to reach out to your existing customers and offer them special discounts or incentives for hosting a party or placing an order in August. You can also promote your business on social media or through word of mouth to attract new customers.
It's common for people to be busier in the summer months, whether it's due to vacations or other activities. This may make it more challenging to find available dates on their calendars for hosting a party or attending a party as a guest.
It's natural to have slower periods in your business, and every consultant may experience this at different times. However, with some proactive effort, you can still find success in booking parties and making sales during the month of August.
Consider offering special promotions or incentives to your customers for hosting a party in August. You can also reach out to potential hostesses who have shown interest in the past but have not yet booked a party. Additionally, promoting your business through social media and networking can attract new customers and party bookings.
Remember that August may be a busy time for families as they prepare for the upcoming school year, so be understanding and flexible with their schedules. Also, don't be discouraged if you don't book as many parties as you'd like in August - it's just one month, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future to grow your business.
