Updated product file

[chefann]

Here's an updated version of my product file, with products and prices as of the Spring 2009 catalog.

There are a LOT of price changes - about 150! Most are on items that are predominantly plastic or metal (including cookware). There are no longer any sub-$1 items, as the citrus peeler went up to $1.

Thanks Ann! LOVE this file.

[chefann]

I should add a disclaimer that I haven't gone through the first tab in the file, which is the Well Stocked Kitchen list.

[Grandmarita]

Thank you Ann. I printed off the 9 pages, and may use it, to do an inventory of all my collection for insurance purposes. We all know, secretly, that we have amassed a sizeable collection, over three or four or more years, and this will help me to put a
value on the accumulation. Just to satisfy my curiosity, not my DH's.

Thanks a bunch! Well my "Gifts under $15 list is no good after March 1! Ugh! I may go ahead and update it so I'll have it though!

Are the yellow highlighted items the price increases?

[chefann]

No, yellow items are things that were in the line when I started, so they're long-time "classics." Price increases are pretty much anything that's primarily plastic or metal.

Thanks Ann! We appreciate all the work you put into doing this. It's a great reference.

[chefann]

Thanks.

The one price increase I'm most disappointed WASN'T announced is the RUFTH Trivet. So many consultants are in the habit of talking about the price, it should have been mentioned. It went up to $13.

Thanks for posting.

I would love to see it, but I can't open zip files.

[chefann]

Unfortunately, we can't post Excel files, and that's what it is. Sorry.

[DeeDee616]

Do you think HO will give us a list of JUST price increases? Or included it in the CN? I'd love to email it ot my customers, as i'm sure some will want to order before the prices go up.

[chefann]

It's not in the CN, because it's 155 (or so) items. Way too many to list. I posted the list I got from Linda in another thread, along with the wording I'm going to use when talking to my customers. I think that focusing on the increases is very negative, and only draws attention to something that most customers won't notice (other than the big increases, like cookware).

Ann, may I have a link please? I started a thread on how to address this issue in Increasing Sales.
