Next year I hope to have shows in March and April to "recruit" helpers to sell pink items at their business' for a little some extra! I didn't have anything this year except a catalog show. I have 3 people helping me this year, but one hasn't sold anything, 1 sold a couple of items and other has sold some (haven't gotten her sheet from her yet). I want more to help next year. I called everyone to see if they wanted to help and they all said no. Next year I may have a kick off for those that are helping to get them excited but I think it depends on how many people I have helping me.
I know that I still have the month of May, but I work for a school and pretty much ALL of my orders are from there, so I don't want to be hunting people down while they are closing their classrooms for the summer.
