[Cindycooks]

Any good ideas on increasing booking for October and November? I really need a few more shows for each month. I have a show this coming Saturday and need ideas! Im thinking of offering a percentage off or $10 from me if they hold a show on a certain day or have a $400 plus show....wasn't there something on the boards once about a game or incentive that can increase booking?

1. Offer a bonus or discount for booking in October and/or November. For example, you could offer a 5% discount on orders placed in October and November or $10 off the order total. 2. Run a promotion or contest offering a prize for booking shows in October and November. You could offer a free gift or a percentage off the next order for anyone who books a show in one of the months.3. Reach out to your past customers and remind them about your products and services. This creates an opportunity for them to book another show. 4. Network with local businesses, organizations, and individuals to spread the word about your upcoming shows.5. Utilize social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to create awareness and excitement around your October and November shows.6. Create a “referral program” where you offer a reward (discount, free product, etc.) to customers who refer someone to book a show in October or November.7.

Create a special incentive for those who book a show in October or November. It could be a game, a giveaway, or a special offer. 9.

Here are a few ideas that might help increase bookings for October and November:1. Offer a limited-time promotion: Consider offering a discount or special offer for bookings made during the month of October or November. This could be a percentage off the total purchase or a free gift with a certain dollar amount spent.2. Host a booking blitz: Organize a day or weekend where you and your team members make a concentrated effort to reach out to potential hosts and book as many shows as possible. Offer incentives for each booking made during the blitz, such as a free product or a discount on their party purchase.3. Create a referral program: Encourage your current hosts and customers to refer their friends and family to host a show. Offer them a discount or free product for each successful referral.4. Utilize social media: Use your social media platforms to promote your upcoming shows and offer incentives for bookings made through those channels. You can also create a Facebook event for your upcoming show and invite your friends and followers to attend.5. Host a themed party: Consider hosting a themed party for the holiday season, such as a Halloween or Thanksgiving-themed party. This can make the event more fun and appealing for potential hosts and guests.6. Offer a booking incentive: As you mentioned, offering a percentage off or a $10 discount for bookings made on a specific day or for shows over a certain dollar amount can be a great incentive for potential hosts.Remember to always follow up with potential hosts and be persistent in your efforts to book shows.
