I'm pretty sure they are going away.

I am new this year, how exactly do the points work for the cookware?

Thanks!
 
I love the cranberry stuff! I got my info the other night at my meeting and I was like I want this, and this, and this!! I already have the new round stone sold to my MIL! I wonder if she will use it. She never used her other....oh well!

1 point per dollar sold!

From my understanding for the cookware we sell whether it is a set or piece we get a point from each dollar sold. So if we sell the new saute pan for $48 we get 48 points. I think late we will be able to redeem the points for cookware.

You get 1 point for each dollar of ANY cookware sold. The points are awarded at full retail. So if you have a host buy a set at 60% off in September, you get the whole amount! Woo-hoo! There's a redemption table in the special edition newsletter (it'll be in your changeover box) that tells you how many points you need to get Exec or Stainless cookware free.
 
I will be doing a Fall Flash Flyer with new product pics but I wanted to wait until HO uploads the images to their website so I can use those -- as the scans that I have are a bit blurry (you can see a couple of them on the DYLAB flyers that I made). I hope they have the site updated this week and will work on it by the weekend.

Forgot to include:
The AUGUST host special will include the 3" Petite Paring Knife and the 5" Boning Knife.
 
Actually, it appears that some images (haven't checked them all) are there now so I will start working on it!
 
When do we get to see pics of the new stuff?

You'll get a special edition newsletter in your changeover box (ship to consultants to arrive Aug 1). But there'll be pics online on CC within a couple days.
