I have my open house on Saturday and I'm trying to figure out something very creative to get people excited about hosting a show with me. Yes, I know we have incredible host specials, but I want to give an extra incentive.
I was thinking about making goody bags for each guest. I'm not expecting I'll have very many, but I'm staying hopeful.

I was thinking of using door bags and putting a coupon for a "host a show, get the product at your show" business card ( I made some up with vista) or and put in a half sheet of the next host specials, (someone made a nice one here for the mini catalogs). Maybe throw in a breast cancer flyer with a label about October being BCAwanress Month., wedding flyer? and maybe a coupon on a next order? recipe card, and a refferal bonus of some sort.

what do you think? I really want to get 15 bookings in the next few months.
