I Need Help!! I Moved to a New City.

In summary, it sounds like you're having a lot of trouble getting bookings and connections in your new city. I recommend attending open houses and networking with local businesses. You might also want to wear a logo or branding to help you stand out. Additionally, stop by sporting events to find new customers and promote your business through giveaways. Finally, consider fundraisers to help your new business get started.

I recently moved to a new city about an hour from where I used to live and I only know a couple people here. I am still doing some show in my old town because I dont have any shows where I now live, but the gas is becoming a problem. I asked my mom and some other people if they have any contacts around the area Im living in now but its not going to well. Im also looking into doing booths at fairs but those arent until next month. Does anyone have any other ideas on how I can get bookings and meet new contacts?
 
Do an open house, invite all your neighbors. Do you attend a church in your new town? Invite the people from your church too. Do you have kids? Kids tend to be quick to find friends, meet the parents. Get involved in local organizations.
 
I agree with an open house, there are flyers in the files ( I'm in your neighborhood) or something like that
DO NOT leave them in mailboxes that is a federal offense

I would take the wording from the files on here make free postcards on vistaprint when they arrive staple a rubberband to the corner and use it to attach to doors of neighbors not home.
 
There are a few threads about moving your business here on CS. Here are a few pointers I have given:

Wear Pampered Chef logo while you are out and about.

"Tailgate" at sporting events. Bring a prepared dish to share, catalogs and order forms.

Contact local churches, schools, daycares and business offices and offer a fundraiser to refresh their kitchen tools.

Plan a "Business of the Month" Stop-n-Shop. List businesses you patronize (e.g. bank, daycare, hair salon, doctor's office). Select one business each month to deliver a prepared recipe, catalogs and order forms. Stop by the next day to take orders and pick up the plate.


I moved last year from NC back to my hometown in MA. Luckily, I had friends to help me with my first few shows here. I also did a few booth events which helped my business take off!
