I don't know if there is a thread on this already...if there was I wasn't looking in the right spot because I couldn't find one.
Anyway...how do those of you who got the PC calenders plan on using them?
As a booking tool? Host thank you?
I am trying to think of the best way to use them and I'm looking for ideas.
I was thinking of giving one to each guest who dates a show the night of the show they are attending...
Anyone else have any ideas? TIA for your help :)
 
I plan on having a host appreciation event at my home in December. I am inviting all of my hosts in 2008. I plan on giving the ones that attend a calender. I held over 60 shows this year and I only ordered one pack of calendars. I don't think I'll need more. We'll see.
 
I give them the calendar instead of the SB and have them pass it around the room and put their bday on the calendar for the host. They all love it! I had someone who wanted to buy one from me but I told her she had to host a show. :p She's hosting in January! :D
 
That's a great way to use them Kristi!! I wish I had gotten more now. Oh well.
 
I am giving them to my hostesses, as a thank you for hosting. I also will give them out at The Christmas Walk booth I am doing the Fri and Sat after Thanksgiving, if they place an order over $50.
 
I am giving one to each person who orders at my Open House this Sunday. Leftovers will go to my favorite hosts and customers.
