I have only 2 bookings lined up for March. How is everyone else doing so far?

I am going away for 2 weeks so I shouldn't complain I guess:)
 
So far I have 3 but I am hoping to get more with my spring preview this weekend with an expected 25-30 people coming so far!?!?
 
6 confirmed, 1 more to wrap up or move to april
 
dont really want to post...but ZERO!
 
Three cooking shows and three catalog show...but my goal is to double each of those numbers. :)
 
So far I only have 1....but hopefully I'll get a couple more at my show tonight!

I right there with you...a big fat goose egg!!!
 
5! My biggest month yet!
 
1 cooking show right now, but I have a booth on Saturday maybe I will get some orders from that. We shall see.
 
I have 1 catalog show and 3 cooking shows as of right now. I'm not planning to do anymore because we will be in Florida for 2 weeks in March.
 
Sigh...I only have 1 catty show and that's it!! :cry: As far as cooking shows - I have 3 in April, 2 in May, 1 in June, 1 in July, and 2 in August...so, in that respect, I'm doing good, but right now...nothin'! Hopefully, with my newsletter, CCC (I have 2 shows being delivered today and tomorrow, so I can make OOB calls this weekend and early next week), my 2 shows closing today, and a few fence sitters on this month v. next month, I can add a few to my calendar.

I can't believe that no one wants March to be the first to show off the new catty!!! :eek: :( :cry:
 
2 for March and possibly 4 more. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
 
I have 2 cooking shows, 2 catty shows,. I will bee gone for several days with my son and then I have out for 2 weeks at the end of the month.
 
I only have 2 - for some reason I can't get anyone to book March - I have 4 for April, I am hoping at my show on Friday to get at least 1 more for March - Even when I call on the phone, no one wants March? Sup with that??
 
I think everyone's busy in March b/c of Spring Break. I have a feeling that I'll be booming in April and May.
 
boy I hope so!!!!!
 
I have one definitely and one maybe. But that's okay... March is soooo freakin' busy with the kids' stuff... especially the 8th.. for some reason that day is a magnet for invites/things to do... now April is wide open
 
6 Cooking Shows for March, and a couple more who are still trying to decide between March and April.

Here in our school district, Spring Break is Apr. 4-11. So, we have the double whammy of Easter Week, and Spring Break Week.

I have 2 solid bookings for April right now, and the couple who are undecided on a date......
 
3 cooking and 3 catalog. I was hoping for some more cooking but March gets hectic with Spring Break and Easter. Plus, I am going to the doctor every 2 weeks now.
 
i agree that march is busy. i am new this month (yaaay!) and ive got tons of family support --- "in april." looks like ill have a busy april. but still - ive got 3 shows and 1 catalog show booked for march. :)
 
I have 2 cooking show no catties but I am working to at least double that but really I would like to triple that.
 
2 cooking shows and a few catalog shows..
usually in March I have about 8 cooking shows! I'm bummed!
 
I have 6 cooking shows and 1 catalog show set for March and 1 Bridal Show set for April.
 
i have a decent march because i got blown off a lot in december, so this is making up for smallish jan and feb. of course, all the people i ask now are deferring me to late spring/summer, so i forsee a lean april and may :-(
 
March is usually one of my biggest months, mostly b/c people want to get out of the house and go do something. But this year I booked up February (15 shows -8 cooking and 5 catalog) due to the specials being so GREAT that I seemed to have "dimmed" down March and April. Right now I have 3 cooking and 1 catalog for March...NOT GOOD!!!
 
I have 2 catalog, 3 cooking, and a booth to do. I would like 2 more cooking shows though.
 
5 cooking shows & 2 catalog shows, plus I'll be gone for a week! I may have 1 more cooking show, but that may get pushed to April! I WILL EARN the pink tablecloth, cause I got the apron last year & I'm signed up to do a fair May 1st, so I NEED it!!
 
:cry: I Only Have Two Shows Booked!!!:cry:
 
Right now I have 6 bookings for March. I have a booth on March 15th so I am hoping to get more leads I also have 2 bookings for April I also have someone who wants to book but she needs to put her house together after the earthquake we had
 
6 cooking shows, 3 catty shows. Working on more. :)
