Pic of new bag?

[courtneybelken]

I saw the new reusable bag. LOVE IT!!! I am wanting to send an email with a picture of it. Does anyone have a picture of the new bag? If not, will it be in special CN?

Thanks!

It's in the SE CN, but someone else posted a pic of it in one of the Leadership threads.

I'm curious, what are some of your ideas for using the reusable bag? I think the cost came out to a little more than $1 each - I was thinking of packing orders over $100 in them, maybe a host gift (especially if they already have the Seasons Best which I usually give out). Any other thoughts? Any creative ideas on how to get your info on them so if/when people ask they can give a referral?

One great idea I heard was to give the bag to your hostess, and attach about 10 of your business cards to the handle (punch hole them, and add with ribbon or key chain ring) when she gets stopped about being a consultant, she says no, but here is her card. Give referral gifts (have soemhting onthe back of the business card for hsotess to put her name: referred by _______________ . That is what I am going to do with my bags, besides using them myself.

Great idea about attaching business cards to the bas we give hosts!

[pamperedlinda]

I bought a white paint pen. I am going to put something like:

"My Consultant gave me this bag! Call her - Linda Child XXX-XXX-XXXX" Probably put it on the blank side of the bag.

I haven't laid it out yet to see how it will look, but it will be something like that.

My director is going to sew plastic pockets in hers to put her biz cards. I'm just afraid that the first time it got tossed in the trunk the bards would fall out then go to the trash.

maybe put a pc of velcroe on the pocket to hold it closed...

I love these bags. When we talked about them before I was worried about the price...esp. i they came from Merrill...but these are great.

I am really liking the bag. How can I get one???? or SOME!!!!

[chefann]

They'll be available on supply order. Details will be in the SE CN.

I just ordered a Zyron Design Runner - which prints anything you type on fabric:)! I ordered it yesterday from Scrapbooking day on HSN. I'm going to use it to print my info. on the bags when I get them. Haven't decided if I'll just put my name/phone or what yet. If anyone has a great idea of what they are putting on them, please let me know.

Maybe staple a card to the inside of the back of it??? IDK, just brainstorming.

What a great idea! I think I am going to use my Big Shot die cutting machine to make a cool "tag" to attach! It cuts material...maybe I will run material through my printer & then cut it out with my Big Shot...then tack it on to the bag!

Sue ~ Your idea is the best idea I have heard yet.... You want to give your host an incentive to passing them out.... offer her something for the first five cards "used"(aka: an order) and something else for the remainder "used". It was mentioned at conference that the cards might not actually be given out ~ but someone just copies the info and calls you??? SO WHAT!!! They called and wasn't that the whole point......

If I were in line and saw the bag, I would certainly ask wher they got it. I am not sure I would take the time to write down the info however. That's why I really like the idea of attaching the biz cards to the bag. I found these great clear badge holder sleeves at our local dollar store (10 to a pack) and they have 2 holes at the top and you could easily slip 10 biz cards in them and attach that to the bag. Check it out...

I would also (using packing tape) tape your biz card to the bottom of the bag - right to the black hard thingy. That way your info is at least in one area of the bag even after teh cards are gone...

How much are the bags and when do they go on sale? Sorry if this has been asked, I haven't been on here in a while and now that the holidays are over I am ready to get back in action. Thank you.

[chefann]

I think they go on sale next week on supply order. They'll be 5 for $6.50. As stated above, details will be in the special edition consultant newsletter, that will be posted on CC later today.
