Ok, I've tried this at my past 3 shows and had pretty good success. This is an idea from NED Pasty McGovern.
Take a big rubber dice (really just 1) or a fuzzy one and have each guest roll it at some point during the show. I have them write the number down on the order form corner and say I'll tell them why later. It never fails, they want to know before the end of the show!
I have a memo clip (holds 5 papers) that I pull out with dates within the next 2-3 weeks (you could also use a photo tree). I tell the guests when they hold their show on one of these dates, I'll give them their choice of one 8" skillet for the number they roll on the dice (they choose SS or exec). So if they roll a 1 they get it for $1 at the close of their show; if they roll a 6 they get it for $6. I'm doing the skillet for pan-o-rama points, and will change it up after Nov 30th. I use the host discount (for my hosts usually 25%) so I'm not out the full price. I had 1 person book in close at 2 of my last 3 shows, and several others upset they couldn't get a show together sooner. Right now this is working for me and I thought I would share.
