So how are you going to sell these?

I think just mention them and let the catalog do the work. I didn't buy them to show them because I can't stick them in the ground in a kitchen unless I raid the host's plants!The picture sells them - already have people looking at them!
 
I plan on talking them up as far as the beach, camping and outdoor concerts - sports games with the kids etc - not sure how they will sell though -

Not bringing them either - letting the catalog do the work!

I had a spring preview party this past Sunday for my past hosts and preferred customers. I had several people want to order them. They loved the concept. I bet more than 1/2 the people here will get them. And they ALL loved the collapsible bowl!!

BYW, I just had them laying on the table and I talked about them. I will not lug them to a show. Simply talk about them and they will sell.
 
I really don't plan on talking about them. Don't see them as being that big of a hit around here. But the pictures do a good job themselves, if someone really wants them the pictures help alot.
 
I put some foam in my Woven Square and stuck 4 of the smaller ones and the larger ones in and covered the foam with the new microfiber towel and cloth for my team meeting. That left 2 for them to pass around. That's what I intend to do for fairs. I will take one with me to shows in case someone wants to see them - they are much more substancial than I thought from the picture.
 
They are shorter than I thought they would be.
 
I will take an acrylic wine glass form the dollar store to show how it holds a wine glass
 
At Leadership, they had some holding paper party hats full of popcorn and other snacks. They were so cute!
 
Also found out Monday night that the new Outdoor Tumblers fit in the small stick holders. They look pretty that way.
Plus each tip has a different color cover that can be placed on the top to identify each persons drink.

If you are sitting in a lounge chair, they would be quite convenient. I have some faux PC ones that I use all the time - ours are much better than the ones that I have!
 
I think they's be great for the beach! I hate getting sand all over my cup or can.

Okay - I know people give up a lot of things for Lent.....but how do you give up your personality???:confused: :D :p

He-he - that would be a hard one!

There is a guy at work that doesn't give up anything except meat on Fridays...he's one that is "Catholic during lent".

I had a juicy burger for lunch one Friday a few years back which drove him nuts.

The big joke now is whenever lent comes, he announces that it is "Catholic Season" and to keep my burgers where he can't smell them. :rolleyes:

Which of course makes me crave a good juicy one on Fridays... :p


So Lamar, if you are giving that up, I'll pick up the slack for you...

Mmmmm, I love a good, juicy burger! There is a local restaurant here - Main Street Grille & Pub, that does the most incredible burger - huge, 1/2 lb burgers, all different ways and styles, and you can get one with a side of equally good fries for $4.95! DH and I love to go there for date night!

Oh, I haven't had a date in a few years!!!!

I think my last "official" date was my 5th Anniversary (4 years ago...)

We tried one a year ago when my mom was up to watch the kids but it ended early 'cause the kids got sick... :yuck:

Ah, maybe this year...

That is a blessing of having Grandparents close by......
They love taking Micah, and he loves to go......and so do we! I don't think we could afford a sitter and a date on the same night!:rolleyes:
 
We have summer concerts in the park here in Orange, CA and we are famous for spilling our cokes during the concerts, people spontaneously get up and dance all the time, I am excited because I will take them and make sure everyone around me knows where I got them! I bet I sell a ton this summer!
 
We live in the heart of wine country. I'm going to approach the wineries who sponsor wine and music outdoors in the summer.
 
I don't see these "party sticks" being a hit at all. I honestly believe they will be discontinued in the near future. They may be "cute" but are they honestly practical? I don't think so.
 
Not all of our customers are "practical". There is ALWAYS an item put in for showier things that isn't meant to last a decade in the catalog but only for a season or two.I think people will have fun with these.
