Hi there! As a fellow consultant, I understand your concern about the discontinued items. Typically, these items will be available for guest purchase until the end of the month in which they were announced. In this case, if the announcement was made at conference in July, the items should be available for purchase until the end of August. However, I would recommend checking with your upline or the corporate office for a more specific timeline. Keep in mind that the new catalogs usually take effect in September, so the discontinued items will most likely be gone by then. I hope this helps and happy selling!
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to discontinued items after a conference?
After a conference, discontinued items are typically no longer available for purchase. However, some items may still be found through independent consultants or in limited quantities until stock runs out.
Can I still order discontinued items from my consultant?
Once an item is officially discontinued, it is generally not available for order through consultants. However, some consultants may have remaining stock that they can sell, so it's worth checking with them directly.
Are discontinued items ever brought back for sale?
Occasionally, Pampered Chef may reintroduce popular discontinued items during special promotions or events, but this is not guaranteed. It’s best to stay updated through official announcements for any potential returns.
How can I find out which items have been discontinued?
Discontinued items are usually listed on the Pampered Chef website or announced during conferences. You can also ask your consultant for a current list of discontinued items if you are unsure.
Is there a way to get notified about discontinued items before they are removed?
To stay informed about upcoming discontinuations, you can subscribe to newsletters from Pampered Chef or follow their social media channels. Consultants may also provide updates during their sales events or through personal communication.
