I am having my sneak preview show the 24th, and my main objective for the show is Fall bookings. Do any of you have any great ideas to generate those bookings. I was thinking about having a special drawing just for those who booked a show that night, but what should I give to entice them to book. I want something great, but I do not want to spend a lot of money. I thought about giving the free product from the show away, but I think I want to keep them to get things I do not have yet. Any ideas?
 
Some people are just giving away a free cooking show. That means you pay the invitation postage, buy the ingredients and the paper goods.

You can do a drawing for maybe the 1/2 price products that would be part of the host benefits since you want the free products. Or do something extra for them when they actually HAVE their show. You don't want to be out the 1/2 price products if they never end up having their show. Or tell them you'll present it to them when they have their show. That may encourage them to book a show closer to now.
 
What about having a drawing for the host special for free? I think a lot of people would like to have that large SS bowl, but it would only cost you $20. That way you could keep the rest of the free stuff, and would make up the $20 with only one show! This is what I was thinking about doing for myself.

Good luck!

Great ideas!!!!! I earned the large bowl free, I may give that, because I find that I probably will not use it that much, since I have the set.
