Okay, I'm not normally one to spill the beans, but I was checking out the CN for October and found this:
Now customers
can purchase
discontinued
products at
reduced prices!
• Start date: The Outlet
is available on our Web
site Oct. 2.
• Accessing the outlet: Customers can purchase items
through individual ordering via your Personal Web
Site. The Outlet will be listed as an additional
category under “Our Products.”
• Limited inventory: Products are available while
supplies last, and items may change every 15-60 days.
Your customers will want to visit the site regularly to see
what’s available. Due to limited inventory, customers
may purchase a maximum of 10 of any item.
• Final Sale: Outlet items are “final sale” and carry
no guarantee or warranty. In the unlikely event
products are damaged in shipment, they will be
replaced or refunded.
• Outlet sales: Sales are online only and can’t be
added to Cooking Shows, outside orders or Wedding
Registries. Customers can purchase Outlet and
catalog items on the same order. You will receive full
commission on Outlet orders, and credit toward
promotions and incentives as applicable.
• Consultant Orders: You can order Outlet products
at an additional 15% discount through the Samples
area of Consultant’s Corner. The shipping cost for
Consultant’s items is $4 for the 48 contiguous states,
$6 outside the 48 contiguous states. Consultant Outlet
orders cannot be combined with any other order
(samples, personal, etc.)
Making the Outlet Work for You
The Outlet is just another great reason to have a
Personal Web Site. Visit it monthly to see what’s
available and make customer care calls to:
• Customers who have purchased products that
compliment those available in the Outlet.
• People who have asked about discontinued products
now available in the Outlet.

How cool is that?!?

and the oven mitts!!
 
OVEN MITTS!!

Can find it (CN for Oct. 2006)!
 
OMG! Did you guys read the whole thing? Sheila Waters is in my cluster! i had no idea there was any info about her in the CN!
 
oh My Goodness I Love It:d :d :d
so Glad You Know How To Cheat; I Never Would Have Thought To Do It! I Can't Wait Until We Can Tell Our Customers!!
 
I'm wondering if they're putting like... OLD old products up in the outlet or only the "new" old products i.e. recently discontinued?
Whichever... I think this idea is TOTALLY cool.
Just another way we can service our customers when they want something discontinued. Send 'em to our websites and let 'em shop till they drop! :D
 
I can't open it. I have to save it then open in a PDF???HELPPPP:confused:

Do you have adobe reader on your system? If not then you need to download it from http://www.adobe.com/ .

It is not unusual for a system to be set up so that it requires that you save something instead of opening it up on the web. The main reason for this is so virus protection software can scan the file & make sure you won't be infected.

I agree! I can't imagine them selling out completely!
 
Actually, I think their plan is to empty the warehouses of the discontinued things. As far as the surprise boxes is concerned, they did that for 3 years. If the Outlet doesn't go over well they will still have the boxes for us but they may think that has run it's course.

I'm interested to see what the discount is to customers. Ours is 15% more than theirs if we buy it as supply so how low will they go?
 
Beth, I need clarification...is our discount 15% more than the customer discount or is it 15% on top of our consultant discount??
 
I'm very excited to see what is offered. It's funny - I just got the e-mail from HO about the outlet, and the pictures of the stoneware crock in cranberry, the stoneware storage rack, and the blue quickstir pitcher were there. I wonder if those will be available. :)
