I booked another one for May!! That's 3 for me, which is huge!! I only like to do 2 shows a month since I work FT and my husband's job is not one where I can always count on him to be home for the kids. But I am going to do the 3!! I would love to get one more fundraiser show for May. Now I need to work on April.

I got on the phone last night and made some phone calls!! I scheduled 4 catalogs shows for April and another kitchen show for May! Now my April is full and all of May except the last Saturday! I only do shows on Saturdays right now until the end of May, that's why I am booking more catty shows. I was surprised. I just called and asked about a doing a catalog show, not offering the kitchen show first! Get that list of 100 out and try for just catty shows, they can make a big difference if you have several of them!!
I am so excited. My director sent me an idea of trying to get 30 catalog shows for every day in April! And offering:
Close the 1st-7th get the trifle bowl FREE
Close the 8th-14th get trifle bowl $5.00
Close the 15th-21st get trifle bowl $10.00
Close 22nd-30th get trifle bowl for $15.00
She picked that because it's already the host special and you still won't pay much for that even if you have to pay for some of it. I am really gonna try and do that. Anyone else up for the challenge??
I don't have the sign up sheet, because I just straight printed it, but it just has a list of all 30 days with name and number next to it, and you just write when they are closing and if they get the trifle bowl free, $5.00 etc.!!!
