Anyways, I tried out a new incentive at my show today. I purchased 3 colorful leis at the dollar tree and put them on the host when I got to the show. I told her to ask everyone to host a party and if they agreed they'd get one of the leis. Also if she got 3 people to book a party, when we closed the last one, she'd get an incentive (the large round pizza stone that I purchased for 60% off last month). .

I tried this last night and it was a success!!! I got 3 PINK leis since it was a Help Whip Cancer party... I told the host that I had a mission/incentive for her. If she asked her guest to host a party and give each one that said yes away, When the 3rd party closed I would give her a $15 item of her choice...She was excited!!! I booked 3 parties at the show with little effort!!! Not bad for only 6 guests....

Way to go! I'm so glad it was a success for you!
 
This looks like a great idea. I love the lei's and also the cake in the stoneware. Great recipes. I may try both of these when I actually book a cooking show again!

Well your mood says "aggressive" so grab the phone and start booking! Use your summer marketing guide to give you word choices or give yourself a 24 bookings in 24 hours challenge! I found that idea here on CS. Do a search to find it - it really does get results. Good luck!
 
Thanks Kristina. I'll look for that challenge.

My main problem is my wording. I get caught up and never can get out things the way I want them to.
Then I kick myself after the fact. :yuck:
 
Love this idea!! I will be trying at my next party!
 
This does sound good!
 
I know this is an old thread that got bumped but i'm wondering if you put a "time limit" on the bookings. Did they have to be booked within 3 months? 6 months? I'm tempted to do this but I am really wanting bookings for December - February right now....

Make some "cheat sheet" note cards & put them in your apron. I keep a general outline of main things I want to hit. That way if I digress, I can pull out my notes & get back on track. ;)

The time limit I give is 6 months, since that is the PC deadline for getting the booking benefit, but if you have a personal goal then make up your own deadline! What's great about this idea is everyone can make it their own and do what they want. Give it a try!
