cheferikab said:My first show was last Friday. I invited 50 people (I printed 50 invitations and distributed all of them, so it may have actually been more than that) and only 6 of my closest friends showed up. I had no RSVPs. I did get 1 booking. That was for July 28.
I have also scheduled an open house in my subdivision. I distributed 120 flyers to every home in the neighborhood for an open house yesterday and Saturday. No one RSVP'd. No one came yesterday. I am still trying to be optimistic for Saturday.
I have called everyone that I know and have even had friends ask me not to discuss PC with them because they would not be interested in hosting. The phone calls have been hard because I am really shy about it.
I have been extremely enthusiastic. At my show last week, my friends said that my enthusiasm and love for the products really shined through. I did not join PC because I NEED the money. I joined because I love the products and want them all! I try to make other people want them too.
Sorry this is so long. I just wanted to make sure that I thoroughly responded.

As of now, I have 9 cooking shows booked for July and 3 for August. This is my best summer ever!
My best advice for booking shows during the summer is to reach out to past customers and offer them a special summer deal or promotion. You can also host outdoor cooking shows or partner with local events to reach a larger audience.
If a show needs to be cancelled or rescheduled during the summer, I always try to be understanding and accommodating. I offer alternative dates or allow the host to pass the show onto a friend or family member. It's important to maintain good relationships with your hosts, even during the busy summer months.
As a Pampered Chef consultant, I try to plan my vacations around my show schedule. I also make use of technology and social media to continue promoting my business while on vacation. It's important to set boundaries and make time for both work and relaxation.
One tip for increasing sales during the slower summer months is to offer exclusive summer products or bundles. You can also host virtual parties and offer online specials to reach a wider audience. Lastly, don't be afraid to get creative with your marketing and promotions to attract new customers.
