The outlet has a few new items added today!
 
I saw this in the chatbox earlier and went to check it out. I think one of my coworkers placed about a $40 order! Then turned around and ordered some more for me to add to my next order! woohoo! I'm not going inactive this month after all!
 
The Outlet can be a real boost! I offer to combine all Outlet orders in to one big one to cut down on shipping costs and it helps make the orders be larger! I already have sold 5 of the Kids cookbooks, 3 sets of the Kids Cutters, and 11 of the My Safe Cutters!! That is only from 3 people so I know there will be lots more!
 
I love it when the update the outlet but also hate it too- then I want to spend money I shouldn't. :(
 
I'll be contacting a friend that sells Raintree products. They have dipping oils but don't sell the set that is on the oulet.
 
I haven't sold anything off of the outlet yet. Can anyone tell me if we are paid commission on those sales? I'm offering a 13% discount to my customers who place orders by Friday the 13th. That's coming directly out of my commission.

we get our regular commission on outlet orders.
 
Awesome! For once it is really paying off that I am sending my newsletter out late. Between this and the heart dish, it's great!
 
anyone have the steak knives that are on the outlet? we need new ones and I'm debating getting two sets of those for $60 or coughing up the cash for 2 forged cutlery sets.

We have this set, and love them. They work beautifully...we use them all the time. I really like that they come with a built in honer in the case - they are always sharp!
 
OK, just have to ask...will the honing tool on the carving set on the outlet also work to hone the forged cutlery? I've had two customers buy it in the last week and I just want to be sure I give them the right answer...TIA!

That is a question to send in to the Solution Center. My initial response would be NO because I bet they are manufactured at different angles.

Can you put this all together on a Show and use someone's PHD (like your mother's/sister's/daughter's) so that you are only out 3% instead of the full 13%?
 
how do you annoujnce outlet items?
 
Word of mouth and fliers sometimes, but mostly I send an email with the link included

Thank you, I will give them a try for my husband's sake- we have a set we got 6 years ago as a wedding gift and we have nearly broken them all because they are not full tang. (mostly on trying to cut cheddar cheese before I had a cheese knife...) But he really wants a new set- and I told him I would investigate! :) Thanks!


anyone else have the knife set in the outlet- sold them? any ideas?
