Managing Bookings and Moving: What to Do When You Suddenly Relocate

[clshirk]

What do you do when you suddenly move and you have bookings- or people who wanted to do shows in the fall and you were going to call later to schedule... then you move? Do you call them all and offer to come back for the show, pass them on to someone else, etc?
I hate to see all the hard work I've done in the past few months to get August/fall bookings go to waste But I took a full time job back in my home town so we can get back to my hometown. I'm excited, but PC will be put on the back burner to probably 1-2 shows a month I think, for at least a little while until we get settled and I can pick it up more.
BTW- the move was really a sudden thing- everything came down in the last 1 1/2 weeks.

Maybe for your sake, explain your move and see if they want to do catty's or online shows with you. If not, ask if you can refer them to a fellow consultant. A great thing would be to find a recruit lead and give them to him/her to get started.

I think that's what I would do too. How far away is your hometown?

5 hours. I've actually one a few shows in my hometown, but I stayed with family and all. Just doesn't seem worth it to drive back for a bunch of shows while I have a full-time job.

Yeah, that's a little too long for a show! I was thinking if it was an hour, then you could maybe pick a certain weekend a month or something. But I would do what Janet suggested & try to get them into catalog shows or find a recruit!
