Any idea if we are going to have them this year? I believe last year we did not. But then I could be wrong.
 
They haven't offered any since last summer.
 
Nope- I think HO got negative feedback on mid-season intros, because customers either tried to order them before they were available (because we all know how well customers read the red boxes that have "available May 1", right?) or consultants didn't like having extra inserts for the mid-season stuff.
 
Thankfully they don't have any this season!

I am one of the ones who is VERY GLAD for this change. Like Ann said, there are just too many customers (especially in outside orders, I found) that don't pay one bit of attention to the "not available until..." bubbles and tried to order them!

I will be glad if we NEVER have anymore mid season products!
 
I'm on the fence. It did bring people back, I found customers would place another order if it was something they wanted.
 
No--hallelujah!!!
