HI all. I am going to be moving to a new job in December. I am going to try to start up my PC business in January again where I will be moving to. I am also going to try to pick one or two weekends to try to come back here to do shows if I can get 2 or 3 on the same weekend so that my customers here can still have shows. I have not found anyone that is interested in taking over this area. I was hoping that you all may have ideas as to letters or flyers or emails that I could send out to all my current customers lettting them know I will be moving but would like to continue to be their constultant. I do have the website, so they are able to use that, but not everyone has internet or wants to use it. I am not so worried about getting shows yet, as I will be working at the SRS office, and there are enough ladies there that surely I can get a couple bookings from them...especially if I provide the food!!! Thanks for all your help. W/O this site and the wonderful people here, I would be at a lost for ideas. I have a great director, dont get me wrong, but there are so many ideas from all of you that are wonderful!
Thanks again.
 
What about sending out flyer to your current customers advertising an incentive for them to book shows for a certain weekend. For example "Book a show the weekend of 1/28/2006, and recieve a free cookbook of your choice ,in additoin to all of our other host benefits when your show qualifys ($150-or your choice of a price point)" Ofcourse, you should stipulate that in order to recieve htis extra bonus, they must keep their original date.
 
Hi there! Congratulations on your new job and good luck with starting up your PC business in a new location. It sounds like you have a great plan in place to continue serving your current customers while also reaching out to potential new ones.In terms of communicating your move to your current customers, I think sending out a letter or flyer would be a great idea. You could include information about your move, your new location, and how you plan to continue serving them as a consultant. You could also mention that you will be coming back for shows on certain weekends, and provide the dates and locations for those shows. Additionally, you could offer a special discount or promotion for customers who refer you to friends or family in your new location.As for reaching out to potential new customers, you could also consider creating a social media page or group specifically for your new location. This way, you can share updates and promotions with local customers and also potentially reach a wider audience. You could also offer incentives for customers to book a show with you, such as a free gift or discount on their first order.Overall, it sounds like you have a solid plan in place and I have no doubt that with your dedication and the support of this forum, you will have a successful PC business in your new location. Best of luck to you!
