Lisa, I can't go to bed now! The only person in my downline who got to go to conference just PM'd me to say that she was sending photos. I'm hoping she meant NOW & not several hours from now!

Looking at this list, the spice turn about is probably the item the tote was designed for. That's why it would be consultant only (customers would want the one designed for the 9 by 13 pan or the pie plate) and nothing else, frankly, is something that would require a tote.

I bet you are right! :D

Don't hold your breath! It's 2:06 AM. The kids will be up in 5 hours & my moving sale starts shortly thereafter. It will be several more hours before I'll be able to post anything unless I get it VERY soon and do it before I go to bed. :(
 
One of my favorite things to say at shows these days I picked up from Tammy Stanley: An item isn't expensive because of its price. An item is expensive when you buy it and never use it. It doesn't matter how little you paid for something, it's a waste if it just sits in your drawer. I'll be honest, the DCB is the highest priced piece of stoneware in our catalog. However, it's the least expensive item in my kitchen because I can use it every single day of the week.[/QUOTE]

What a great point. But it makes my dcb a very expensive item. I've used mine maybe once or twice to bake chicken. I have to take it out and search on ways to get the most out of it.

Nene a BIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGG THANK YOU for keeping us in the loop. We really do appreciate it.

Yeah, but it's not really for sale anymore. You are just offering it to the hosts now. So you can say, "Wow, thanks for hosting. Did you know that you are super lucky because you can get the DCB at 1/2 price or for free?!" I'll also be pointing out to them that I don't earn a commission on their 1/2 price items, I'm just encouraging them to get it because it is just that awesome of a product and they will appreciate getting it at a huge savings.

It might also help with bookings as well..people might book just to get it for $42.50.
 
Or book in August to get it for $35!

In the past, once General Session is over, they hand out an envelope as you walk out of the theater that has a catalog, a sheet showing the SAT levels and samples of the recipe cards and invitation for the theme show.

And maybe something else, I can't remember.
 
Recipe cards for the theme shows, I think.

The past two years, they gave us our catalogs in a white folder while at lunch the second day. The only reason I asked though, is because Nene said they didn't announce the price increase, she saw it in the catalog, so I was just wondering if they already gave them the new catalogs.
 
Yes, thank you Nene for posting the products! Even though we are waiting (not so ;)) patiently for pictures...it is great to have the list of the products.

I am SO excited that I will be active this month so I will be able to order them!

The bag is for the spice turn about. It is a very nice bag too!
 
They gave us the catalog at lunch along wig packages of recipe cards, invitations, the new calendar, but no seasons best yet. Hopefully soon tho!

Change your focus. Don't focus on the price, focus on the fact that a Host can get it for 50% off or for free.
