I had my third show tonight since joining the end of Feb. My first 2 shows were a bit of bust. Great for practice but with low attendance and very low sales. Tonight however, was fabulous!!!! There were 9 guests and I had 812.75 in Sales. I was hoping to get some solid bookings but I only got a lead for a Bridal Shower and some vague "Maybe in a few months". Now i will be sure to follow those up but with only one more show booked I was hoping for something a bit sooner and solid. But still I am feeling quite chipper and had to share!!!!!

Congratulations Tara! May this be the first of many successful shows!
 
Thats awesome! Congrats! I had to move my open house because I just got sick and I feel horrible. I still only have one more show scheduled and I am worried. I can't get enough people to come to my open house and I am hoping to book at least two more shows within the next 3 weeks. I really want to make PC work for me. Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
Erin see if there are any fairs (booths) going on in your area. and see if you can get a spot at one if you follow up it will be well worth your while.

Tara,
Congrats on your awsome show
 
Congrats,its always soo invigorating after the shows..isn't it???
 
congrats! Tara
