Beth, I need clarification...is our discount 15% more than the customer discount or is it 15% on top of our consultant discount??

I read it as 15% off the customer price. Period. No additional consultant discount. It's a "sample" order so the price is the price. We only get our discount on "personal" orders.

HTH
 
Do you think the past host discount is also available to use with the outlet???
 
I'd be surprised if it is! Now darnit when are they going to let us preview it. ;)
 
This is an awesome new feature! I think many will like it!
 
I am really excited about this since a couple of my customers want the stoneware rack and I just assume that since it was pictured, it will be a part of it. I called them this evening and told them and they both wrote the date on their calendars to check it out on Oct 2!! Yay! I love new uses for my website!! I had a thought about previewing it, has anyone tried to do a product update on PP after they got the email? I was just curious...I haven't but I think I will just to see if there's anything *new* on there! ;)

That is an awsome feature........I have a lot of PC groupies in my town that ask me constanly if they can still get ... .or does PC selll.....
 
I am going to have to go on my own little shopping spree!! I am so excited!
 
I love this new feature. I hope the oven mitt is on there. I need some new ones. I just don't like the silicone. Oooh I wonder if Generation II cookware will be on there!!

Nope. It will be the sale price and that's it. No other discounts. And no warranty or returns. I wish they'd tell us what the discount will be!
 
I can't wait until we can check it out:D :D How AWESOME!
 
I got the email from HO just before I logged on here. I'm really excited about it. Now I have something to tell people who ask if there's any way they can still get whatever.
 
So, my mind is turning trying to figure out a clever email to send out to my customers and hosts with this information. Anyone have any ideas? I have been so disappointed with my website. I have had it for almost 2 years and only received 1 or 2 orders from it. My hosts never use it. I would love to use this more.

To get people to use my website I ask them to email me a list of names and email addresses and then I add that info into their guest list (you can even do this in PP and then export it to the website. The help instructions one the website are really good. Then I send out the invites as well as a reminder. I've had pretty good luck getting the hosts to give me this information. I do add the host also to their guest list & I cc them on emails I send to the guests so they know what I've sent and when. I think I've had 8 orders on 4 shows since my website went live in August. Not tons but I have recommended people add the link to my website as a favorite and hopefully they will think of me in the future.
 
I'm guessing that not that many of us are getting tons of traffic on our websites so the discontinued products gives us a great opportunity to do a "check out my website" email to all of our customers, family, and friends. Remember to BCC all of your contacts as part of proper netiquette.

My Pampered Chef website has gotten even better (.../lennhoff) . At my website you can:

1. Host online catalog shows or invite remote friends and families to shop the online catalog,
2. Invite remote friends and families to order online for your cooking shows,
3. Learn about the latest host and guest specials
4. Create and shop our online wedding registries (remember to email your guests to let them know about your registry)
5. Place individual orders for the items you just have to have now when you don't have time to do a show to get them free or discounted
6. Order discontinued products (check back regularly as these will change frequently)
7. Find seasonal recipes
8. Find my available dates
9. Find my contact information

Don't forget to add my website (.../lennhoff) to your favorites.

During the month of October if you host a show that reaches $400 you can get all of the new forged cutlery for under $100.

Remember Pampered Chef products and gift certificates make great gifts.

Your Pampered Chef Consultant,
Tasha Lennhoff

I found that stuff out the other day, but without cheating, it was on our CC.

I didn't know about "cheating".:rolleyes:

Do you have a different CC?
 
The Nov. sellathon thing was posted a few days ago, but everything else is new info that directors got yesterday.
 
I am intrigued by this, but also a little worried. One of our major selling points has always been the great warranty. I can imagine customers insisting they bought something from a show, when they really bought it from the outlet. Yes, they should always save their receipts, but they just do not always do that. This could increase our time with Customer Service. I hope I am wrong, but I am a little concerned.

I agree that it is strange that they are not including the warranty. From there perspective it makes sense as they would have to replace damaged product with newer versions or offer some kind of dollar value for things that don't have a "new replacement".
 
May I please ask anyone to please copy & post the Oct CN? I am from Canada and the US site won't let me log in but I'm excited and wish to read what you're seeing!!
