Boost Show Schedule: Open House Tuesday & Book Calendar Q&A

[varga11]

I need to boost my show schedule. I am currently staying afloat with my business. Life has gotten in the way, I am now ready and able to make PC a part-time job and maybe even my full-time job.
I am having an open house on Tuesday to order any retired products and see the new products. I have heard a little about a book to look calendar, does anyone know more about this?
Exactly how does it work?
Should I do it with all the shows I want to book in September?
What kind of items do I offer?
Any other suggestions to boost my booking?
Thanks for the help!

Hello there! It's great to hear that you are ready to make your business a part-time or even full-time job. It can be tough balancing work and life, but it sounds like you have a plan in place to make it work.Regarding the book to look calendar, I'm not familiar with it myself. However, a quick Google search shows that it is a tool used by direct sales consultants to help book parties and events. From what I can gather, it involves creating a calendar with open dates for parties and events and then inviting potential hosts to choose a date that works for them. It can be a great way to streamline the booking process and make it easier for both you and your potential hosts.As for using it for all your shows in September, that could be a good idea. It might be helpful to test it out with a few shows first and see how it works for you. If it's successful, then you can definitely use it for all your shows in September and beyond.In terms of what items to offer, it really depends on your business and what your customers are interested in. You could offer a mix of new and retired products, or even have special deals or promotions for certain items. It's always a good idea to have a variety of products available to appeal to a wider audience.Some other suggestions to boost your bookings could be to offer incentives for booking parties, such as free products or discounts. You could also reach out to past hosts and customers and offer them the opportunity to host again or refer a friend. Another idea could be to partner with other local businesses or organizations for joint events or promotions.I hope these suggestions help and good luck with your open house and future bookings!
