I'm kind of in your same shoes, I'm pregnant and have been restricted to bed rest so basically all I can do are catalog or online shows. I found a great flyer on here called "Pampered Chef Lady" that you can distribute to advertize strictly website/catalog shows! I'm having the hubby pass it around the neighborhoods

A lady at my cluster meeting last night mentioned having whats called "call-in shows". She had to do this because of bad weather once but I thought it was a neat idea and she ended up having a $900 show. Basically she called all of her hosts guests she invited and mentioned that if they call in the day of the show with an order then she would get them a free seasons best. Anyway, I thought it was a cool idea so thought I would share with those of you who can't do cooking shows right now.
