I am trying to whip together a folder for a quick catalog show at work and only have my break to get this done/out.

What items on the Going, Going, Gone are not available to order?

I know the mini bowl...

I'm thinking the rect. server and the rect. tray were listed in the PC Newswire.

Can anyone confirm or correct that without me looking it up?

I had 2 cooking shows, smaller than expected...that should have made it, but oh well. I couldn't nail down the 3rd...

Got a few outlet sales and just sent an e-mail last night...

I'm at $1400+ already for commissionable sales, but $700 was July...

Either way it is a good month for me but I still want my envelopes FREE! :D

I want to use my points on a knife case!

I'm at $1100, but $330 is for July. I have one more show to call my own this month - next Tuesday. BUT I want to have some padding to make sure I hit the $1000...and if by doing this I can make it to $1500 in August sales that would be even better!:thumbup: Then I could get the knife case and the SA case...and my envelopes! ....and that's all I need.....
 
So Becky and Janet...after you get the envelopes and knife case, what else will you get? I have everything else, except the SA tote, but I have the old blue one and never use that. So what would you pick? I have everything on the product portion too...I know I am going to get products, but what?! I would want something that will easily sell at a fair or something like that.

I find it never hurts to have an extra TTA tote carrier. They work for the trifle bowl, the plates and caddy, the TTA and are a great gift for a new recruit when they qualify.

Great to have an extra tote AND an extra trifle bowl! :D

I'll probably get some other things to use as team incentives. The TTA & TTA Tote and another set of envelopes are some I was thinking of. I have all of the other Show To Go stuff - plus a stoneware tote, and a 2nd TTA tote, so I don't need anything else for myself - but thought some of that would be great gifts for qualifying in 30 days.

Yeah, thinking alike again...
 
Thanks girls!! I appreciate your thoughts, helps me out alot!!
 
Hey Janet ~ It was intentional, but at my show last Friday, I didn't have time to reinvent a new flyer...so I took the on Joy Edwards (Tasty Tidbits) did (Going, Going, Gone) and just crossed out what was not available.

What ended up happening was the folks saw the big fat X's and it created a since of urgency..."I have not idea which one is next to get X'd off the list...so don't wait!"

This was the first time since I began my biz...the buzzin' I heard from everyone...sold tonssss of discontinuing items.
 
good idea Ginny!! I will do that at my show tomorrow night. Did you cross off the mini-bowl and the rectangle woven traditions?! Anything else?

I do the same but write "SOLD OUT" over the item. :)
 
That's what I did at a conference last week. I crossed the items out with an "X" and wrote "gone!" on them. :)
