Price Increase LabelsAttached, are labels prepared for Avery 2x4's. Usually, I have the price changes and discontinued all together, and stick them on the front of catalogs. But this time I am just including the Discontinued items page as it's own full size copy.

I'm looking for that discontinued page and can't find it ~ a search brings up all sorts of threads. Can you help please?

Do you think these price increases might make people mad (this is my first change-over)? Shouldn't we show them the new stands before they purchase the soon to be discontinued ones? I'm not sure how to proceed.

thanks!
 
Susan,

You can find the Going Going Gone flyer here: http://www.chefsuccess.com/showthread.php?t=4991

I definitely tell folks that the stands and pitchers are being redesigned. I'd rather have a happy customer bring me repeat business then have an unhappy customer complain that I didn't tell her.

Thank you that is EXACTLY what I was looking for and thinking.
 
Rita!!Thank you so much for your stickers!! I am so glad we are all willing to share our good ideas. I'm glad I don't have to create these myself!

Thanks again!
 
Price Increase LabelsYou're welcome any time Kerns. I align mine side-by-side about 1/2" from the bottom and you can still see the roasting pan and carving board. The catalog still looks neat on the front cover.
