August Newsletter: Upped Special Amount, Looking Forward to New Products

In summary, the August newsletter has been received and October's specials have already been announced. However, the guest special amount has been increased to $75, which may discourage some customers from purchasing. There are no new products included in the specials, but a new product may be added later as a "first 10 days" special for hosts. Some customers have noticed a decrease in orders due to the small incentive of the current guest special. The October host specials include various kitchen items such as a knife block set and roasting pan.

Just got the August newsletter in the mail. I'm glad to already have October's specials, since I have customers looking to book then. But...I have to say, I'm unhappy that they upped the guest special amount to $75 again. :( I know they don't have to give away anything for free, but $75 to get a large or small micro-cooker? I can't see a lot of my customers going for that.

Ah well. It is what it is. I can't wait to find out what the new products will be!
 
What are the specials? I hope it doesn't give anything away as to what the new products are going to be...

No--no new products as host or guest specials.
 
They seem to add a new product to the host specials later as "first 10 days" sort of host special.....
 
Can you share the specials then?
 
Amanda.... I agree!! Guests might as well spend the money to just purchase the micro cookers.....it will be cheaper for them. $75.00 is not really a "teaser" to inspire guests to spend to get the special.
 
They upped it last year too - not sure which month, but for the holidays. Hopefully it'll go back down in January.
 
They upped it October - December and then it went back down. If it's the quick-stir pitcher for free I can see pushing your order up to $75, but not for the microcookers. I know last year when they did it, my orders were lower and then when it went back to the spend $60 they went back up. $15 is a lot when you add in tax and shipping.
 
I totally agree. At my July shows, I noticed that my orders were smaller, too, because people weren't overly thrilled with the fly swatter. I know it's a cute novelty item, but what is the value? $3? That's not a huge incentive to bump your order up $10 and pay more tax. The Quick-Stir was an awesome guest special! Practically too good to be true. People made sure they hit $60 to get one of those for free.
