Hi... try to keep your chin up! If others can do it, you can too. One thing I noticed as I read your post is that you're pre-judging a lot of things. Try to think poisitive and it will come out in your demos. If you play games and have lots of fun at the show you do have booked, it will help...

Keep trying Dotty! Maybe let her know that her friend (prior host) will get a host special also! Sometimes they will do it if they know their friend gets something... they feel more obligated.

Most of you have a much bigger problem with me leaving an hour early than the event planner actually did! She said "Thanks for coming, see you in October!". I'm done typing in here... I've said what I wanted to say (even to Beth) and that's about it. I'm fine with my own ethics and business...

I knew you would come back! You can agree with whatever you like Beth... it does not change the fact that myself, and many others, will leave an event that has died out. If you do not like it, that's your perogative, but it will NOT change me from doing it. Many event planners will try to...

Let it go Wadesgirl. Take your own advice. I will run my markets the way I want, thanks. I think it's disrespectful when event planners do things like invite 2 PC reps or a bunch of other unfair things that I see posted around here. It certainly goes both ways. I'm polite when I leave. I...

I've read that it's best to have the tables near the back so people will come in to chat. I did that last time and it worked really well.

I actually called Beth rude (in return) in a PRIVATE message and she decided to make it public up above in post #23. See how she works it? She wanted you all to know. She brought it here. I don't like to have conflict but I will respond to people I feel are attacking me. Hopefully she will...

I would do 2 demo's also... but keep in mind that you're already $70 into it... and now you're expected to provide food samples for 130 ladies?? I hope not! Event planners are not always the most up front, fair people.

If that's the case then you should say to yourself "Bummer, I probably should have come earlier!" Beth hasn't been nice to me since I got here... this is not the only thread. She called me rude on page 1 (since I'm the only one here admitting to leaving early). I don't like her approach. My...

Many people leave early from a slow event... I'm just the only one here admitting it at the moment. Eventually they won't have many vendors left if they don't invite anyone back. I know 3 other PCC's in my cluster that won't do markets because they're a LOT of work and you need extra equipment...

You are rude Beth... everyone has an opinion and that's mine. I said I did NOT sign a contract. You are twisting it, which seems normal for you to do.

To me, if the event planner was reallly doing their job then the event would NOT be slow. I wouldn't leave early under a contract, but I have and will continue to leave early (an hour or so) if the event dies out. I stand by my belief that it's my time and I am paying them to be there, not the...

This is your opinion and I don't agree. I think you're RUDE. If the event planner was really doing THEIR job then the event would be full! It's more their fault the event is tanking than it is mine. Once again, if it's a busy event, of course I wouldn't leave. I wouldn't leave if I signed a...

I have to disagree. It's not rude to control my own time. I'm not being paid by anybody there to be a clock watcher. At my day job I stay until 5 or later - but in MY business I come and go as I please. I'm contributing to their charity or whatever with my fee upfront. I left early for an...

LOL... I already talked to them all by the time I broke down! Believe me... if there were more people to talk to, I'd stay. If not, I go! :balloon:
