Did anyone else's Director tell them about the Booking Blitz on the 22nd?
Anyone else going to do it???

What are some creative ideas/ways to get bookings for February and March?I would like to share because I know some people are struggling for bookings!

I am going to be SUPER ENTHUSIASTIC about the February Host Special -- it is AMAZING! I am also going to offer 'Sneak Peek' Shows - to try and get Booking Benefits for the current Host. My Theme for the Month is going to be "Power Cooking Shows". (I have the files if anyone else is interested...just email me).

Remember: Book a Show on the 12th of March for PC's Anniversary in Canada! (Your "Show" gets entered into the Draw to win prizes for You, Your Host, and EVERY GUEST).

Any other ideas to share everyone?!
 
I haven't heard about this, but it could be a Canadian thing. Did you get an email that you could share?

Jenna, I just sent you a PM.

I was very excited when I heard about booking blitz day! If we are consistent with out 3 contacts a day, it should be a breeze to get those shows, right? I do want to think up some creative ideas. Excitement is totally one thing we must absolutely do!! But, with the specials we have going, it shouldn't be too difficult, right? ;)
 
Geez...can't find it - what page is it on?
 
Kate- It's in the Canadian newsletter. :)

Anniversary dateThe US Anniversary isn't until October 15th.

Is the US doing any Prizes on that date? Has anyone heard anything yet?!
 
Probably not, because it's not a "big" anniversary year, it's 28.

Even if it's not a "big" anniversary, you could still promote it, right? It's the 8th anniversary (I believe?) and they are still making it special.

Also in on weekly bites.....All Shows held and submitted in January with 12 buying guests will be entered in a draw at the end of the month. Twelve (12) winning Shows will be randomly selected. The consultants who held and submitted the 12 winning Shows will be awarded their gifts in February. We will publish the winners in Consultant News beginning in March. Winners in January will receive the Deep Covered Baker! This will be an ongoing monthly promotion. Stay tuned to the Hotline to find out what the current Buzzin' with a Dozen gift will be!
