Q:I am doing a traveling boutique featuring children's and a few womens clothing and accessories some of which I make and some I buy. What I am trying to figure out is my sales are pretty good at the shows I've done so far but I was hoping to get outside of my friends to hold shows and have not been successful in booking new shows. What kind of incentives should I do? I offered a tiered plan based on sales some free some discounted based on $ volumn. Should I make something that is for hosts only? Any advise related to this would be helpful. Is it okay to ask the host to help? Keep in mind that I do not do a presentation--it is an open house for a couple of hours and set up like a boutique in someones living room.

A hostess gift is a must to encourage the hostess and book new shows. ALso and percentage of there sales should be figured into a specail purchase price for them. 200-300 Sales = 15% discount and 1 booking 300-400 sales = 20% disc. 1 booking 400-500 sales = 30% and 2 bookings so on....whatever works best for you, more or less. Or give them a dollar value to shop with. If the hostes is providint refreshments you need to remember that folks won't host a show if it cost them and bundle is refreshments and they get nothing Great in return. Good Luck

Q:I am suddenly into home improvement (home and garden design), so what kinds of jobs in this area are available with just a business degree?

Around here, we've got Hire-A Hubby, which is a kind of handyman franchise. Then there's all the garden services franchises. They're relatively cheap to start up in. the business degree doesn't help, exactly, but it sure doesn't hurt.

Q:My friend and I (both female) are moving into my parent's basement and we want to make it look nice. Decorations we are interested in are like more urban style.... pastel colors and cool designs would be nice. Also, we do have a budget to stay in, so a less expensive website would probably be best. Thank you:)

Q:Building two 3 x 8 foot raised beds and looking for suggestions of what grows well in Seattle.

Almost anything you have room for, but in a cool or short summer you may have trouble ripening an entire crop of tomatoes or anything else that likes a lot of heat such as peppers. If you plant things like that, try to pick ones with a short to maturity time. Check individual plants or seed packets for best planting times. They're all different. Some like cool weather and can be planted as soon as there won't be any more frosty nights, others like more warmth and can be planted early indoors but are best set out when the weather is warmer, usually sometime in May.
