I did a show on 11/30 that was about 40-45 minutes away from my house (but only about 10-15 minutes away from the store where I work part time, and I do travel to that town every other week to go to Walmart, and other errands).
Her show will close with around $550 in sales, but I will be out about $20 for Season's Bests that I am giving as gifts to the guests (I totally messed up on the show date on the invites....TWICE :/). The host is not interested in the opportunity, so to drive that far to close her show is in my eyes not worth it when she only has 2 outside orders (included in the $550 total) plus her order. I told her that we could close her show out over the phone and she could mail the checks to me. She said, no you are going to come here and get the checks. I think she is also having a hard time figuring out what she wants for her host rewards and wants me there to help her. I told her if I came this afternoon I would have to bring my children as my husband gets out of work an hour later than the kids get out of school. (Home is 15 minutes south, and then I would have to travel the 45 minutes north after he gets home, which means a lot of gas). It would also cut into me making dinner and then making my calls tonight.
So, I am curious, how far do you travel on a regular basis to close out your shows? If I was going to work tonight, I wouldn't mind leaving 30 minutes or so early to meet up with her to close the show, but doing it today would be a long drive (and gas money) for not a huge return. (There were no bookings from this show neither). (and she is not available tomorrow or Wednesday).
