So far I have held 3 shows (2 small and 1 average) and a catalog show. I also closed out 2 small November shows in December business, and have 2 other catalog shows going, but not sure about how that will turn out. I have a craft fair tomorrow and one more cooking show next week. On the other hand, I have had 3-4 cancellations :/. But, I am still ahead of previous years

I started in late November and just closed my first catalog show for my sister earlier this week. It wasn't a very big show but I think I was just really happy that people actually bought stuff lol! I am also doing a housewarming catalog show for one of my mom's co-workers but it isn't ending until the end of the month. I am trying to get a few orders in before the Christmas cut off on the 17th but I haven't had any takers yet. I've also been posting the January specials on my Facebook page but I feel like all my posts on there get ignored. I even offered the first person who booked a show with me in January a free Manual Food Processor (since I already have one and got another one in the New Consultant Kit) but I still haven't had anyone book. Like I said I'm new, I live in a small town with my sister and her husband, and most of my friends live about 3 hours away. I gave some mini catalogs to the bank last time I went but haven't heard anything from them, either. I'm not giving up though! My director told me that catalog shows are good but cooking shows are the way to get more bookings. So I just need to find some people to do cooking shows!
