Ooops, I just checked and it is over 6 posts per day. I couldn't just edit the old one because I have to catch Anne! :)
 
My current average posting per day is 6.70. My 1st post was on 8/12 and I'm now up to over 380 posts. Not that I'm trying to get that star at 700 but there is just so much cool stuff to comment on here.
 
See! Her average is higher than mine :) :)
 
You got that right.

Beth, I like your ending line. But, I will not be changing mine.
You must have smarter folks than mine because it never fails to amaze me how many people go to my web site, check out the catalog then call me anyway to order. I don't want those calls. So I made sure they knew I could not do the ordering for them this time.
just don't get it. They can send hndreds of e-mails, do fancy things with them, order from everyone else on-line but can't do it on my web site. I have asked if there is aproblem ordering that way and most of the time, I get, "I didn't know I could" or I kept getting the individual order thing with astronomic s&h so I called you instead.
Maybe the screens are too confusing. I just don't know because I can't pin anyone down about it.
Oh well.

I took the best of you both and put:
These items MUST be purchased on my .biz website.
No phone orders, please.

Thanks for the flier John!
 
You're just plain silly!
 
Annie, you're back!!
 
I am! And, I sent your package out Thursday, so let me know when you get it!
 
I do not want to burst your bubbles ladies and gents but the outlet was brought about because they could not sell all the discontined and slightly damaged to the employees that worked at the company for a very and VERY VERY EXTREMLY LOW PRICE THAT WOULD MAKE YOU MAD EXTREMLY LOW PRICE so that have made the outlet. Keep in mindthough that when Doris did that she was giving all proceeds to the Second Harvest which goes to the hungry and less fortunate so do not be too angry. I was one of them that was able to donate and still enjoy some of those products. I worked at the home office and now am a consultant. The outlet is a way that will allow many to get what they all want as we still want what we cannot have. I hope we all enjoy the Outlet and it is not abused so that it is not removed. This is also one more way that it will encourage our customers to visit our websites and also encourage us as consultants to update our sites so that it has new info from time to time. I take the web savvy class every month becuz I hear different info that keeps me abreast to the ever changing world of the Internet. I recommend you do the same. Have a great!
 
thanks for that note.
 
I was thinking the outlet was to offset the Ebay selling. I know it won't have new stuff on it but will maybe encourage people to check it out before Ebay. I sent an email out about the outlet and I have had some great response to it already. My customers are as excited as me about viewing it, I can't wait till tomorrow to see how it's going to be. I hope it does really well.

That's what I was wondering. I think some of my customers will be thrilled! Happy customers makes for a happy me!
 
I think its a great thing! Is there a silver lining?
 
Does anyone see their outlet yet?? I can't find mine and I don't know if our sites haven't been updated yet, or what???
 
Wasn't it supposed to take effect 10-2-06? If so then they should be up tomorrow and I cannot wait to see what's on it!!!
 
Oh, I thought it was supposed to take effect today! Thanks Heather!

DITTO!! I totally agree with you there...
 
Well it's 5:30 am here and no outlet. I thought for sure it would be up by now. I was so excited to see it this morning and then nothing. I hope there isn't a problem with it already.
 
It's 11:38 am here and I've already checked 4 times!!
 
It is up. Really disappointing. There is only 14 items in the outlet, 7 of which are the stoneware crocks. I was really looking forward to this outlet. what a let down.
 
How do I get it to show up on my web-site. Do I need to download it?
 
I still don't see it. Is it under "Our Products"? Do you have to do anything to the website to get it on there?

I don't think that most who buy on ebay have access to the .biz websites so I don't think they will even see the outlet. I also think that those same consultants who sell the samples on ebay before the catalog is even out each season will buy up a bunch of the most asked for items and sell them too.
