In case anyone needs ideas for the month:http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184035_245907442096501_190756324278280_884803_4314732_n.jpgPLUS 15% off anything else they want!Remember, Past Hosts who get 10% OFF will have to boost their sales to $149 to qualify.
 
Awesome, Sheila! I saw someone else post the idea on FB - your format is pretty nice too! How did you create that? Wondering if you can post a file that's editable (then you saved as a graphic?)

I did it in Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006 Editor, so probably not helpful. But I've already had SEVERAL requests for a generic version, so here you go:

And remember, it's designed for marketing on FB, NOT AT SHOWS (since it would take away from the host's sales).
 
Ok - help the idiot here...
How do you I get it from here - to facebook?

DOH! *slamming tech illiterate head on wall*

Another tip ... if you show your hosts as booking off them self at their last show AND their show was in the last 6 months, they would qualify as the Past Host too. ;)
 
Oh DOH! Just save it as a pic...gotchya! :)

(No Mac for me...I'm too frugal. :))
