Why Was My Holiday Mystery Host Show Attendance Low?

[cpaylor]

Well, today was my Holiday Mystery Host Show. It was horrible! My mom and my sister showed - no one else. I do have another order, possibly two to add to the list for Christmas presents people want to order. But, I can't believe that no one showed. Partly, my fault because I have been under the weather for the past week and didn't get as many invites out as I had wanted too. However, between my sister and I, we must have invited 30 to 40 people. On the bright side, food was good and company couldn't have been nicer. I was just hoping to have a decent turn out and maybe a booking. Oh well, time to re-group and get ready to start the new year off right - on a high note and get my business moving!

Sorry, I just felt the need to vent a little. Thanks for understanding.

Sorry to hear about your show. I have done one in the past with about the same 2 - 3 people showing up and I invited over 100...they are so hard to figure out..some people have such success.

Hi Christina!

Sorry your attendace was not what you wanted, but glad you had fun.

The one thing you did not mention was whether or not you called everyone you invited. Speaking from experience, when I did not call people to remind them of a show, attendance was very low. When I got on the phone and personally invited people, I had much better attendance. I also like to offer to dates within a day or two of each other. That way if they are not available for one, they might be available for the other.
