If you dont have that cookbook I would suggest getting it, it has some really good ideas. I nice little outlet order will also pick up some double points for Feb. I also like to get things from the outlet & give them away or they make good fillers for gift baskets/silent auction baskets....;)
 
Thanks for posting the update! I literally checked it about an hour ago and there weren't any updates!!

So are you ordering from the outlet on your PWS then vs. on CC? I guess that's how you're figuring on the double points?? I just looked and there are several more items on the PWS Outlets than on CC - I wonder why.
 
I love the small serving tongs. I just emailed my friend who does Traveling Vineyard. She was admiring mine at my son's b-day party and thought they'd be great for her shows to serve cheeses and things that go with her wines. I hope she orders some!

The only thing that I think is different is the black stone tote...since that is only available to consultants.

They must have updated it since I was on there earlier. When I first read this thread I went and looked and the only things on the CC outlet were a pie plate and DD baker...

On CC go to Managing Your Business > Samples and Supplies > Order Product Samples > "Order Now" under March Outlet 2007.

On your PWS go to Our Products > How to Purchase > Click Here to Place and Individual Order > at the very bottom of the list click Outlet.
 
I'm not at home so I can't try this out but I need to respond to a customer. Can you please help answer my question?

If a customer wants to order items from the Outlet (list on my website) can I order them for her through Pampered Partner or does it actually have to be ordered through my website?

She just finished placing a separate order through my website when I told her about the Outlet. Would PC Solution Center be able to edit the order to add in the Outlet items so that she would have another shipping charge?

Thanks!!
 
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Outlet orders are completely seperate from all other orders, including regular web orders.
 
The outlet is an individual order, so they can order online with other products (new products for example) but not in PP. You can order a blue pie plate and a trifle bowl together online, but only the trifle on a show or ind. order in PP.

Clear as mud, right?

Thanks for the correction, Gillian!
 
I hope I am right... but I am almost postitive that I have ordered outlet and current products together on an individual order online!
 
I just emailed my contacts to let them know of the update. Maybe that will generate some sales for double points! Or just anytime a boost in sales is nice.
 
Gillian, you're correct. You just can't place a SHOW order with outlet items. But you can order current stuff with outlet stuff.
 
Thanks for the clarification, Ann - I guess that's where I got balled up. Glad you asked Summer!

LMAO!!!!!!!!


I just sent out a mass email telling everyone about the new products. I said "Our Family-Size Quick-Stir Pitcher is only $6.25! That is more than 50% off and just in time for making lemonade this summer!" I guess we will see if it works.
 
Not necessarily chopped liver...pate?

Every one of my newsletters since the Outlet came out showed a photo of all of the Outlet items in a column running down the left hand side of the page. It did generate some orders, I mean small 1-2 items....and they would contact me and I added it on to my small order to save on shipping...

My last newsletter I did change and didnt include those, and I don't think that anyone went to the Outlet to see if there were any additions - I think I might go back to adding the thumbnail images so that it is right in front of them. Or...I might put a few photos of the new products along the side?? hmmm..

The reason I do not order from CC is you can ONLY use PC money or a PC Debit card & I do not have either. So I lof on to my site as a customer. I also like getting the extra points.;)
 
I just went on the outlet and ordered 5 sets of bread tubes and two sets of the placemats (I already have 1 set). That's only $2.50 per bread tube. I will be using those as hostess gifts! Plus, I ordered under my Mom's name so I could use her discount.
