So, I am re-launching my business in June. It's a little tough, because I recently relocated to Indiana, and all of my friends/family live in Wisconsin. So, I have to rely on work ppl and neighbors, most of whom I have not met yet for my bookings. Well, yesterday and today I got outside and started knocking on doors and meeting the neighbors to invite them to my open house. I am SO glad I did. Most of them are super excited for it and I think the chick next door is going to be a good buddy. We are getting together this afternoon for margaritas and to compare stories about psycho ex husbands! I was nervous about getting out and meeting/inviting people, but it really worked out great. Hopefully they all make it and want to book shows!
 
That is great!!! I need to do that too here. We moved here right before Christmas and I had a baby about 3 months ago so now that summer is finally approaching I need to get out there and knock on my neighbor's doors and have an open house. I'm just nervous to actually do it! LOL
 
Best wishes on the relaunch!
 
Great job for stepping out of your comfort zone. It will certainly pay off.

Congratulations!
 
How cool is that? A new friend, and open house and someone that can make mixed drinks and has a psycho ex! :) Hope your business does really well!
