I'm not sure if I'm in a slump or what, but my show average has slipped to around $325 in the last couple of months. A couple of years ago, my average was around $600. Yoikes!
My shows are going really well in general, and I have had at least one or two people comment at nearly every show (3 out of the last 4, anyhow) that they have never had more fun at a PC show. I usually have at least two bookings per show, too. That makes me feel great, but my sales are still stinkin'!
I know one thing I have to work on is encouraging outside orders, but does anyone have any other advice or any really good effective ways to get hosts to do a great job with outside orders? I really can't afford giveaways or big "top show" type of awards.
