September is looking a bit better. I have 3 for sure cooking shows, 1 that may or may not happen, 3 for sure catalog shows and 1 catty from a show that needed to be canceled.
ETA: I forgot that I booked an October show at the show I did last night too! And I have a booth at a vendor fundraiser in October too.

To get bookings in this month, I worked the host bonus....called all my hosts who had started forged cutlery collections and several of them booked a show. Also, I called all my striped simple addition customers, since that line was being discontinued. I only had about 12 customers who had purchased striped SA but 2 of them booked to finish their collections.
I found that my first 3 years in biz I had a mind-set that summer was a bad time to host a show and that no one would come. Listening to some training tapes, and beginning to really use the host bonus to keep my biz consistent, I saw a big change last year and this year. Not only do I get bookings but guests do attend. I do work hard to identify potential problem time periods (I do this year round actually)...such as knowing when high school and college graduations are in my area, knowing when major community events are happening, etc. This info is usually available thru the local chamber of commerce...but in my town I'm fortunate to have a phone book that has all the key events identified each year!
So...it can be done....
