<p>Most of the places I call which take out of town callers have
Facebook pages, web pages, etc, and I check those. Several of
those places have a standardized reminder email *they* send to
booked staff about a week before - "We are looking forward to
...". (At Palo Alto Contra, while I book most of the staff,
somebody else sends that email.)</p>
<p>[I once did book somebody way ahead of the booking cycle and then
lose track, so it was a really good thing that person wrote me and
said "don't see myself on the calendar; what's up?" Since then
have taken measures to be sure it doesn't happen again. Had to
apologize profusely and sincerely to everybody involved and then
rebook one of them.]<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If I haven't had separate confirmation I send them an "I'm really
looking forward to ... Has anything changed since the last time-
same hall?" kind of email.</p>

<div>What do folks do to ensure dance booking contacts
remember that they've booked you?<br>
<br>
</div>
I just had my second booking in a row in a certain geography
forget that they had booked me. What's curious is that in
both cases these dances approached me by email (I could
understand it maybe if it were the other way around?), we
had an exchange where we clarified the dates, etc. and
confirmed we were all set. We agreed to connect again with
any final questions on program, accommodation, etc. as we
approached closer to the date. The first case turned out to
be rather comical in their confusion - the second I can't
figure out.<br>
<br>
</div>
So, short of calling/emailing monthly, what do YOU do to
ensure folks remember their booking commitment with you?<br>
<br>

<div>Thanks,<br>
