I haven't given away very many calendars and still have a lot left. Today I have a show and was thinking of using them as a bonus gift w/ purchase. Do you think I should put an amount on how much they need to spend in order to get one? $30? $60? Or something else?
 
Give them away as an "on time" gift! :D Everyone who's there at the scheduled start time, gets one.
 
I've been giving them to the host, and past host at each show as a thank-you gift, plus to anyone who books a show, and anyone who spends $40 or more. It's worked well. In fact, I've had a lot of people jump from $40 to $60 so that they could get both freebies for the month!:)
 
I would definitely put a $$ amount on it...I think Becky hit it right at saying $40...they'll jump to $60 for the next freebie! :)
