Being fairly new to the pp industry we feel we have exhausted ways of generating new parties.We have had a few refferals, a few bookings and a bit of luck with adverts. I feel the best way of booking parties is via other parties we hold. Currently we don't have any upcoming, I think it's due to coming out of winter and wrap up of kids sport. Does anybody have any really good ideas about kick-starting this quiet time we've encountered???? Adverts in the papers are quite expensive and don't always give a result. We are armed with business cards all the time, talk about our business to all and send out special offers and new product brochures frequently. Maybe we need to try something outrageous.... I don't know

It is always going to be hard when you run out of parties.. you will have to start from scratch and bug family and friends, i am not a fan of advertising.. expensive and not good results
you will have to network, canvass,etc..and promote your product like crazy to get the business up and running.....
i always say if you can just get 4 new bookings then you should be able to keep the bookings coming from the parties, othewise it is very hard.... but you can do it.
good luck

Times here are flat out, maybe move and become a consultant for me??
Other than that my two guaranteed to get results ideas are:
