Usually the biz goes like this..how your biz is now, if what will will be in 3 months. So how was your June?
Another suggestion...do a report on cookware ~ call ALL of your past customers who purchased cookware...BE EXCITED and ask them if they would like to purchase cookware at 60% off?

I have 6 shows booked for September and one catalog show. I have 4 other people that may book shows in September and then who ever else reads my newletter that wants cookware!!!
I don't understand why this August is so hard to book. The specials are GREAT...but...my May was empty...so I am doing a little bit better 90 days later...I just worry about October/November..But they are usually GREAT months, so I am not too worried.
