Ok, I had a bazaar last week and it sucked. I only had 2 orders and they didn't even add up to $60. I had an open house tonight and no one showed up. I have a bazaar this weekend....I'm hoping that it goes better than what it has been. This will be my 3rd event with PC and I don't know what to do to make it seem more interesting and what not. I have samples of recipes, I have my new consultant products out, and I have the nice PC tablecloth from Merrill. I don't know what to do...any suggestions?
 
So sorry to hear you are having a rough time. Have you done any shows yet? Ask friends or family about hosting a show. That was what I did to start... and I needed the practice. Even if some of your friends are willing to do a catalog show. Make your list of 100 (friends, family, anyone) and start calling and ask them to help you "Kick-Off" your new business by hosting a show or catalog party. I hope this helps!

Good luck!
 
Bazaars and Open House can be a hit or miss type thing. Don't let it get you down. I did an event at our state fair last year and we weren't even allowed to sell anything.
