Cant Get Shows Booked for August!!!

In summary, the person is a new consultant for Pampered Chef and had a successful month in June but is now struggling to book shows for August. They are seeking advice on how to book more shows and have been recommended to try mystery host shows, pampering businesses, and promoting at craft fairs. They are also advised to revisit their list of 100 contacts and talk about their business with everyone they meet. Offering a free cooking show may also help attract potential hosts.

Hey everyone, Im brand new at this, and havent done this before, but i do think i need some help. I started PC in June, and had a GREAT month, made my 4 shows and 1500 in sales in 2 weeks( with the help of family and friends) and July was skimpy, and now its August, and i have nothing. I have dont Care calls to try to get potential hosts, and no one bites, or if they do they want Sept. or Oct. which is good for me with the cookware, but i still want something for August!! Please help!!

First of all, congrats on a great start, $1500 in two weeks, WOW!

Maybe try doing a mystery host show or catalog show. If you do a search on those you will come up with some great information.
 
Have you tried pampering businesses? That's helped alot of people. Do a search for that title and it should come up with info on it. Look for current craft fairs in your area. Also do a search for 118 booking ideas in the file section and it will give you some ideas. Hope this helps!? Good luck!
 
Was one of your first four shows your own open house show? Since we have the new products coming out in September, having a "sneek peek" show to let people see the new products is always a good one to do yourself.
 
Check your list of 100 again. Now that you have begun your business you may see those names in "a new light". Talk PC everywhere you go! I know it sounds crazy but really! My new motto: "DON'T LISTEN TO MOM... TALK TO STRANGERS". Offering a free cooking show helps sometimes too. You pay for the ingredients for the recipe and send the invitations, all they do is invite their friends.
