I'm too busy today to send the emails so, here's the text. Below that I listed a few of my faves along with uses for them and a photos that I lifted off of the outlet.

I was just looking at the Outlet and I couldn’t wait to tell you about the deals that are listed RIGHT NOW! There are several newly listed retired Pampered Chef favorites at super low prices. Start your Christmas Shopping early.

I am very excited about the Outlet this month! One of my favorites, which was only available to consultants before I became one and I have drooled over, is the Woven Medium Square Server – I have wanted that basket badly and have never been able to get my hands on it….now I can….and so can you This basket is the perfect size for any of our Simple Additions Medium Square Bowls or use it alone for bread, crackers, fruit or even to collect mail. There are tons of uses and at only $10 it is a great buy. Pair it with the Striped Medium bowl and you’ll have a great gift for $16.25.

Oh, I love this basket. It has always been my favorite, and I've always wished I could order it! Yay!

We aren't allowed to order from our own PWS.

No, but my son, husband and aunt can and do .

 

[babywings76]

Thanks for the wording Linda! I'm adding that to my Outlet Specials newsletter. Now I'm just debating putting on there something about the guarantee (cause there's still cookware on the outlet...I'm still nervous about people getting mad if there's a problem). What do you think?

 

[kaseydee]

They are all gone.

I had two in my cart & then they were GONE!

WOW that was fast glad I ordered some last night. I wish PC would send us an e-mail that the outlet is updated so we would know when to contact our customers that new items are available.

Now that would be nice. :thumbup:Is there any rhyme or reason behind when they update it? I'm thinking not, but just wondered...

I, too, wish there could be some notification when the Outlet changes. I just happened to look the other night and immediately ordered. I am sure some of us could get more Outlet orders if we could notify customers as soon as there changes.

 

[Triciascucina]

I did not know until I read this post it was updated.

 

[esavvymom]

Blame Linda and her great email! Her customers snagged them all
*KIDDING!!*I'm glad I got my 2 ordered and didn't wait.

 

[pamperedlinda]

LOL! I think I sold @ 12 of them, and they bought more stuff too

 

[erinyourpclady]

CRUD! I just saw this and SOOO wanted one!

 

[babywings76]

I just had a super busy day and thought I'd come on now and order them. Darn!!!! I'm so bummed. Plus, I have a friend who wants to order one small item from our current catalog and I don't have a show to add it to. I was going to add it to this order to justify the shipping cost. Now I don't know what to do!

 

[beepampered]

So why can't we order from our PWS? What happens if we do (I'm pretty sure I have at some point but maybe not). I have a customer who wants to order some outlet items and for some reason sent me an email. I want to be service oriented and just order it for her but I'd have to create an account for her in order to get her PHD. Right? Is clearing your cookies the only way to sign me out and allow me to sign her in? She wanted a baking sheet also. Could she get 20% off if she ordered it in an individual order? Thanks!

 

[darlinclem]

What was the price?

Not until September would she get the special sale price on baking sheets, but yes, if she orders it in September on your PWS, she'd get that, PLUS her Past Host Discount .but she'd have to know her Number. (You can always tell her what it is)...and she could get her Outlet items too as an individual order.

Can't help you with the cookies, etc. though. I use a separate web browser when I order from the outlet (under my DH's name), so I can get sales credits. I bought stuff for my mom and me this week that way.

I place orders through my PWS for customers who have requested outlet items. Especially when there are several people - then I put it in as one large order and deliver the items. You can log in as a customer so that you can use the applicable PHD.The guest specials are sometimes for show orders only. Check the fine print on the September guest special flyer for specifics of that specials.

I had my best customer call last night. She wanted to order 3 of them, and she was very unhappy that they were gone, very unhappy. Nothing we can do but keep checking back. If there were so few, it would have been nice to know. I suppose a lot of consultants were ordering and those who check the outlet often. They had better not show up on Ebay.

This reminds me of the customers my mom used to encounter when she managed a Hallmark store. They'd come in the day after Christmas, looking for discounted Christmas cards. One, when told that they were all out on the shelves, actually commented. "Then you should order more before Christmas so there's a better selection at half price."

Outlet items are overstock. It's clearly stated that quantities are limited.

True - very True. I always let my customers know when I send out an Outlet Update that it's first come, first served, and that they need to act quickly for the best selection.

I'm not sure why someone would be upset about not getting something that's discontinued and in short supply to begin with. This was an item that was originally for consultants only, so you have to know that there weren't that many of them left.

Oh - and I'm sure it will be in Ebay - everything ends up on Ebay eventually.

 

[pamperedlinda]

.....This was an item that was originally for consultants only, so you have to know that there weren't that many of them left.

that's why I hurried! I knew this one would not last long. I've seen them on ebay and refused to pay the $$ for them there.

That is SO funny!! BUT true...reminds me about 2 older women at a resort & 1 says, the food here is horrible & the other says, Yeah & they give such small portions!!

 

[beepampered]

So you don't get commission on sales items placed under your own name? Where on the check would it show up to verify?

 

[schel]

Auggghhhh!!!

I got a notification from PC that I had a outlet purchase. I looked at what she got... 2 Woven Medium Square Server's; so I go to get this and boy were they gone quick!! I am so bummed! Why are they getting rid of this item. I have all of them except the Woven Medium Square Server and I love them all.

If anyone went hog wild and bought a bunch and now you have to many please pm me as I would love to have one or two in my closet for my bowls as well.

Thanks!
