Here is the background:
I am part of a multi-vendor fundraiser this Saturday. There will be me, a Creative Memories consultant, Silpada, Tastefully Simple, Tupperware, and Discovery Toys. It is for the West Mich. Downs Syndrome Association. It has had local newspaper advertising, plus flyers in store windows, and each of us inviting our customer base.
Last year (I wasn't a participant) with 5 vendors each contributing 10% of sales, and one $20 auction item, they were able to raise over $1000! I was contacted to participate this year, because last year, people kept asking why there wasn't a PC table!:thumbup:
I'm excited about the potential for sales, and have my display and set up figured out.
My biggest concern is bookings. I have one open date between now and Dec 14th, and now have 8 bookings for Jan. I am concerned that if people want to book, and I have to give them a Feb. date, that is too far out to keep them excited and looking forward to their show.
What I am looking for is advice on how to keep people in the loop for future bookings. How do I keep people looking forward to having a show, when it is booked 3 months out?
