Hey everyone! I am at almost 1100 for the sell a thon with no more shows scheduled and being out of town this Thurs-Sunday. I would love to hit the next level. I think it's 1500, I'd have to double check but I'm pretty sure that's right. Any ideas? I don't have many contacts that aren't doing shows next month or have already bought this month. Any ideas? I think I probably just will have to accept I'm not going to make it. It'd been nice though. It didn't help being out of town the first part of June and now the last part too. I'd love any ideas that you may have! Thanks everyone!
God bless,
Amanda
 
Have you tried Pampering A Business? That might get you some sales.
 
Send out a mass email to EVERYONE you know. Let them know that you are trying to achieve a goal and what they can do to help! Offer a free gift with their order or if they collect an order from their friends. Offer to do a drawing for the benefits if it reaches the amount for a show.
 
If you do a mass email, be sure to follow-up with phone calls, too! GL!
 
Don't forget to use the sheet pans' availability to your advantage if you email everyone.
 
I am in the same boat! Stalled out at $1350. I am selling the $2 squares. There are 30 to a sheet so I'm going to sell two sheets and draw two winners. I even have family taking the sheets to work with them. After I get the sheets filled and my winners place their orders I will place an order to make it a show and get my $1500. It's a lot of work but I can't seem to get anyone to place an order right now, they are willing to spend $2 though!

What are the $2 squares?

Thanks everyone for your advice! :)

God bless,
Amanda
 
I'm curious too.
 
You sells X amount of squares for $1 or $2 a piece. If you sell 50 squares a $2 a piece, that's a total of $100 that the winner could win for their order.
