I am so glad that I have 2 catalog shows going, well 1 catalog show, and 1 that is supposed to be. Anyway my show for tonight cancelled! I have to have my 2 shows!!!
 
Good luck! I hate it when shows cancel! I have one tomorrow...hope it goes well.
 
Me too. My July fell apart, so I am counting on 2 shows to at least close by the end of the month.
 
I'm in the same boat. I was supposed to have a show next Thursday and Saturday. The Saturday host canceled when I called her yesterday and the Thursday host has not returned any of my calls. I sent an email today to the person who she booked off of, but so far nothing from her either. :mad: I had a catalog show that didn't have a close date set so I called that host and asked her to close by the end of the month. She said she is busy but will do it. :D
 
Start calling your customers to tell them about the new products. Ask them if they want to place an individual order. Set up a mystery host catalog show and tell them that one of them just might win the prize as the host of the party.
