Does anyone have a show the weekend of Nov 25th? I had to move a show that I'm hosting from this Saturday to next Saturday and most of my guests can't make it. I didn't think about it being Thanksgiving weekend. I can kick myself. Should I reschedule for a third time...maybe the beginning of December?

Thanks,
Irene

great...I forgot about the November incentive.
 
If you're hosting, do 2! Do the one you currently have scheduled for the guests that can make it, then do another early December for the rest.
 
I think it's all right to do it then. People will be in the spending mood!
 
I have one scheduled for the same day...just do lots of calling!!!
 
Keep the date and talk up "from your seat" holiday shopping.. who wants to brave the weather & crowds on black friday anyway????
 
People have rellies in town...when they bring them they will get an extra entry in your drawing and/or free gifts?! New customers! Do it!
 
I have never done shows that weekend either....but I'm having one with my mom the sunday after Turkey day. Don't know until ya try:)
 
I have a show on Fri, the 25th, and another one on Sat, the26th. I am so thanksful. Plus, I am picking up a catalog show before the Sat show.

I am billing both shows as a "let's shop in comfort" show.
