How are you doing with the July guest special? I'm promoting it and being very excited but noone is very interested as of yet. I'm thinking that maybe all of you out there have better ideas than I am using... can't wait to hear them!
 
I am not doing so well with it either. I think people will really want it or think nothing of it. I can't unload it at all on my last show! I tried telling them it would be a nice gift for a wedding shower or wedding. :)

Good luck. I am just glad this month is almost over. It was really bad for me :(
 
I've been taking the plates and utensils to use at shows. Haven't sold any yet this month, but then the only live show I had was Tuesday, and it's only at $50. :(
 
Ok, oops, I haven't had my coffee yet. I thought you meant the Salad Spinner (the host special).

So for the record, no, I have a hard enough time getting people to buy the spinner, and NO ONE is even remotely interested in the guest specials.
 
I have sold very few of those - even before they were the special. I include them in my display with the grilling items and they still don't sell. I think part of the thinking is, if I am going to use plastic, I will just use the disposable kind! I think they are kind of nifty, but haven't been selling them.
 
I think the plates would sell better if they were microwaveable. But I really like the utensils. :)
