Jennifer,
Right now for anyone who books a party, I am giving them a Bistro mini set. They can take them home when I have a firm date on my calendar. I give hostesses the Spa Express Mini set when there are no othersets available.
I have a booking basket filled with items from the $$ store that they can choose from. That has been very successful too!

Jennifer,
Sounds good! I just love your enthusiasm!!
Off to see my Hairdresser. She bought a mini spa express set the last time I got my hair done and hopefully she will book a party!

Ladies,
I love the ideas! I use a booking bag sometimes at my parties. They can choose between three different colors- green, pink, and purple. If they pick a green, then they can pick one gift and book three weeks away from the party that they are attending. If they pick pink, then they can pick two gifts and book two weeks away from the party they are attending and if they pick purple, then they can pick three gifts and they book for the next week. I put different things that I purchase from the $$1 store all wrapped up in a basket andlet them choose which one they want.
For the hostesses, I usually give the neckwrap and then a bistro mini. I think that I will start doing the bistro minis for bookings also though!

These sound very nice for booking gifts! What we do is give 1/2 price on skin care set purchased at the spa if they choose to book, and maybe a $1 store gift. Do you do the skin care discount as a different incentive, like at their own spa?
There are a few times to reward hostesses, and it can really add up! How much do you spend overall on hostesses?
Thank you!

Angela,
I am currently not using my booking basket, because we have the Bistro minis. Before that, it was the spa express mini that I gave to them for free with a firm date on my calendar.
When I want more bookings on my calendar, I will also bring my booking basket filled with $ store goodies for them to take if they book one of the dates I really want to work.
Everyone loves to dig thru my basket, so I have no trouble getting my "hot" dates filled!
Hope that helps!
