Double $$ of Free Items for Host in July?

[fun2cook2]

Good Morning!
I had a show last night and have two "tentative" shows for the summer.
The women wanted to know if PC was going to have their hostess promotion
where they get double the amount of free stuff in July like they did last year.

Any ideas if this is going to happen?

Thanks so much!

Doesn't look like it. The host bonuses for July have already been posted.

My guess is that the BIG stuff will happen this Fall w/ PC's 30th Birthday. But that's just a guess.

Yes, July specials have already been announced, they're up on CC.

Although sometimes it seems as though PC is following a pattern, there really isn't one when it comes to Guest and Host Specials. There isn't any given month where they always do the same thing, with the exception of May/HWC. Even then, it's always new products.

This is so true. Sometimes it will even be the same for a couple years in a row...but then it will change. So, there is no set "double host benefits" month, or "stoneware sale" month....

... or cookware sale month.

About the only promos that are consistent are some of the ones for us - SAT. Even double trip points switch between Jan. and Feb. Keeps us on our toes

For two years, the Feb. host specials were ANYTHING IN THE BOOK at 60 percent off. You better believe my consistent hosts were excited about that one. It ended up being "host favorites" this year. One wanted the stainless bowls and was not disappointed.I personally like that they're moving away from the "more free product" they did in January. Every January I've had has sucked eggs. It just seems like an unattainable goal to some of them.

I think it may be more that it's hard for them to understand the value of the extra free product until they actually do their host order. It's helpful to do a product stack at shows when trying to book those extra free product months. It's not easier when PC makes the shows be a minimum $500 or whatever to be eligible for the extra free. Just makes it too complex for potential hosts to understand.
