I'm aiming on booking more and more shows. We had a cluster meeting last night and our director gave us some challenges. The one with most bookings set up this week (from today through next Tuesday) wins a product from her valued at $50. There were a couple of other things she challenged us to do.
Good luck to everyone!!!

I also requested 10 because I do not want participants thinking there are many others and that's it's ok if they don't follow through...he he
I also want it to appear that there may be a max, and they're lucky to participate in this and thus get responses in sooner.
All theories and hopeful, but we'll see what the reality is.
