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?

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.
