Hi all!
My March calendar was not where I wanted it, so I decided to try something new tonight. I brought the Trifle Bowl, Large Polka Dot Bowl and 8-inch Executive Saute Pan with me and placed them on my host's counter next to the name tags. I also had pieces of paper there and asked each person to put her name on a piece and drop it in the item she liked best.
When I came to the point in my show when I wanted to talk about bookings, I showed off each item and then told them they could get the item they liked for free by hosting a show on select dates in March (all before March 15). Additionally, the host can get one for free with three bookings scheduled. I got a booking for next Saturday and for March 12. Also, the host is going to work on getting another show for me. I will definitely need to do some major host coaching, but I should only be out about $24.00, taking into account the host discount and my commission. I also got a May booking, but that does not count for my special promotion. I think I am going to try the same thing at my show on Sunday, but I may select pieces that are a little lower priced.
