SO last night I had my first cooking show for a while (I had a couple in November fall apart, and since then only cat shows). I have also had a hard time getting hold of the people that have been (I thought!) solid booking leads.
Anyway, last night I had a great show, only 7 people ordered , but with 2 outside orders we are at $618 with probably a couple more out-side orders, so she has a chance to get to $700 and get the extra $75 of FPV. Which will make it my highest show
.
But, even better, I got FOUR bookings last night!!! One is from an aunt who wasn't even there but wants to book a show (I'm hoping she will place an order on this one - we'll see). One is from a gal who has now been to 3 of my shows, and always spends at least $100 (WOW!), and has never been interested, but I told her she really ought to start getting some stuff for free, and she agreed. And one didn't get there until right at the end, so didn't see any of the demo or my "spiel".
I used the booking slide (at least a version of it - I only had time to put the sheets in protectors, and I just showed them one by one). I need to get them taped together. So who knows if that made a difference. Although only two of the "bookers" actually saw it...
Oh, and I'm going to have the host take some info on host benefits and up-coming host specials to her work (which is thankfully in my town - she lives 50mins away) to see if anyone there would like to book, as a bunch of them placed orders. I might stop by with some brownie truffle cups as a thank you/incentive. I would LOVE that 5th show, and it would be great to be in my town and in a new circle!
Anyway, all in all a GREAT show.
