I just got home from a $1000 show!! Yay! I have another show this week. I am hoping to make it to $1500 this month since they are the only 2 I have. I am offering an after Christmas sale so maybe I'll get it.
 
Woohoo! Congrats & GL on the other show - that's the level I'm going for, too. I have 1 cooking show and 5 catalog shows, but we all know how they can fizz out. Keep us posted!
 
Way to go Stacy!!!!!!! I had two last week that closed around 1200... those big shows make SUCH a difference!

Thanks! I have not had a very successful fall. I have had about 4-5 cancellations and the shows that did hold were small (under $350). I am quite bummed. Last Oct. & Nov. I did almost $10,000 combined. I struggled to get $1500 for Nov. and even less in Oct. I did have a $400 open house on Friday so that was nice. Plus I have a few catty shows that haven't happened yet. We'll see. I do have 4 on the books for Jan & about 6 possibles (have to get date- they wanted 1st of year). I also have another potential recruit from last night. I am going to get with my other 6 or 7 to let them know about the new promo for Dec. recruits. Maybe I'll hit director by the end of the year (my goal...I have 3 now). Keep me in your prayers!
 
Congratulations on your successful $1000 show! That's amazing! It sounds like you have another great show lined up this week. I have no doubt that you will reach your goal of $1500 this month. Offering an after Christmas sale is a great idea and I'm sure it will attract even more customers. Keep up the great work and I wish you all the best for your upcoming show!
