I am on the phone with the techs now to get some answers for all who got this link.

I've gone through solution center, career solutions and now the tech dept.

As Lacy said, no one seems to know about it.

However, it was up for at least a few hours on Monday and people did stuff about it so we need some notice or answers to handle the customers.

They have me on hold right now but are working to get some answers for you all. :D
 
You are awesome Janet!:thumbup:
 
I hate having a day job!! I must have missed where the booking blitz was no longer available!! I have been telling EVERYONE!!!
Thanks Janet for calling, I hope we can find out soon what is going on!! Maybe it was to be a secret until August 1st when SECN posts?!

I'm thinking it was pondered then changed and the wrong link got up.
 
I don't remember it being mentioned at NC either.
 
I remember seeing it, so no one is imagining anything. I also know that when I got home and went to print them, the info. regarding the booking blitz was no longer there. VERY strange!! Thanks for getting to the bottom of it for us, Janet! :)
 
I have it printed out already! I hope HO goes ahead with it since it seems a lot of us have already told some of our hosts...
 
Thanks so much for investigating! I was about to start making bookings with it! Guess I'll just offer them the host special and this will be an added perk if it does pan out.

I'd log onto CC, print the correct one and use that until we know what will happen.
 
Wow, I'm gone for most of the day to find something mysteriously disappeared lol! I have the booking bliltz flyer printed out and told my Aug hosts about it already! :(
 
I think it may have been intended for Canada only as they didn't have the July blitz.

I'm waiting also, so if I hear anything, I'll let you know!
 
The prices on that incorrect flyer were US prices, including the show minimum.
 
Hey! All 3 of us were typing at the same time. :)

I'm thinking:

1. It was either planned initially instead of July...or
2. Both were planned together and this one got canceled.

I'm guessing in the rush to get things up the wrong one got up...

But in our rush for information, many here and I'm sure many throughout the US got it. We KNOW it is changed/down, but how many out there do not?

I'm guessing they'll have to put an e-mail out to us to clarify! :)
 
I hope they put it back up! I love it to get bookings!
 
It would be nifty ... but oh well. My July booking challenge didn't pan out, after all ...

Just an added perk.

I never saw the booking challenge flyer ... and nothing about ANY August special was said at conference.

On Monday under conference links the host flyer had talked about a booking blitz for August 11-16. Many booked shows this week using that flyer/information. The link was changed later, but no communication from HO and when people call the Solution Center doesn't seem to know anything about it.We are waiting to hear back of what to do/say...

Hopefully I do this right- I saved the original flyer:

wow - this would be awesome if it happens - I am working on booking 2 open dates that week! I wish we could get confirmation on this so I could add talk about it...
 
bumping....no word yet. :(
 
Please remove the flyer with the booking blitz info until we hear from HO. There are many users of this site who only go to the files, and without this supporting information they are likely to think that it is a valid promo.
 
Glad I read this thread. I saved the flyer on my computer so I could just print it out when needed. It's quicker than logging onto CC. I'll check back later to see if we've heard anything. It's strange that someone at HO wouldn't just say "no, it's not going to happen", or "yes, it is."
 
Thanks for checking on this Janet! I am waiting...not so patiently!
