I am under the impression that we are all hurting for bookings right now!!! What do we do?? I had thought also about having a Ice Cream Social for my neighborhood to get some sales and bookings... but what if nobody comes. I have passed out other stuff to my neighbors and never got a reply, but not an invitation to anything.

Hurting for bookings is exactly what it's called!

I have 1 catalog show in process & maybe 1 on the way. She only wanted to add to another show, but I told her about having $150.00 in sales to call it a show! Hopefully she'll pull through.

If it makes you feel any better - I HAVE ZERO BOOKINGS FOR JULY so far!
