Is the HWC Coupon Holder the Most Popular Item This Month?

[cochef]

I have people asking about the older HWC items all the time. Specifically, the pink nylon lettuce knife, the daisy plates, and the tiny pink spatula. Maybe having those back would be good at some point.

I seem to sell more in October on my PWS when they offer the retired HWC products. We had white measuring spoons with pink numbering a long time ago and those were very popular. So now, maybe the adjustable spoons with a pink slider would be a good seller.

Everyone loved the pink tomato knife. Have not sold any HWC products so far and have only had a couple of people get the coupon holder. Hope they are in better shape than yours, Janet.

I have 2 coupon organizers if anyone is needing them. (still in package)
had 2 customers not like them

Teresa I'm VERY interested in getting these if they're still available. I'd love them for my MIL (breast cancer survivor) and my SIL. How much do you want for them?

I would love pink:
Quikut paring knives
Twix-its (again...different shades of pink though...no white)
i-slice
easy openerThe less expensive items that even if you have one, you may like another (or several). I think that was part of the problem this year. Not everyone loves the zebra print and everything was pricier (harder to get it if you have one already in another color).

LOVE the idea of the collapsible bowl! And the mini-spatula with a pink handle. Also the new mini spatula in pink would be really cute - if they can make them cranberry, they can make them PINK!

my friend the other day said she wanted a pink sanoku knife.

As I sit here drinking my morning coffee, wouldn't a nice pink mug be nice--they could design HWC on one side and PC on the other, or just put the info on the bottom. These could be sold in a set.

As several other people mentioned I don't like the feel of the Micro Fiber towels but the pink sweetheart dish towels that were a February Host special several years ago were popular. I drank my morning "latte" out of a dots pink mug. The same daisy pattern as the plates a couple of years ago in a mug would be nice. Love the idea of a pink I-slice, easy opener, or the new mini mix and scrape we got this season!

They did have a pink one with white dots and a small square plate to go with it.

So far I have had pretty good luck with the HWC products. I have sold at least 7 of the cake servers! That is what everyone wants when I show them. I also get tons of comments about want to just buy the coupon holder.

Love the idea of pink collapsible bowls, and the mini serving spatula as well as a pink HWC coffee mug or mug set even. I think bringing back the tomato knife is a great idea too. I ordered a few extra of those last year and gave them special to hostesses in October. I had so many people wanting to buy them and was bummed I could not sell them then! I really liked the tote bags we had last year too. I use mine all the time. My kids take their stuff to the pool in them and I use them to carry stuff to my shows. MAybe another sort of tote would be nice too?

I think you're either a pink person or you're not. I'm not. i have a few things, but I won't buy something JUST because it's pink generally.

So the list so far:

Updated:
Pink Measuring Cups AND Pink Measuring Spoons
Pink Handy Scraper (love this one!!)


Just thought of as typing this list:
Pink Recipe collection (book- like a SB) - they had a collection of recipe cards, but I prefer book-types.


I will keep an eye on this thread, and I will put them together and try to find a way to send to HO and just say that a group of consultants were discussing this and putting our heads together. These are the ideas.

I wonder if they could make a pink nylon serving knife!

I use my coupon holder as my "envelope system" from Dave Ramsey's "program". I talk about that in my shows and MANY people are on an envelope system and love the idea. Plus, I also tie that into how I am using my PC cash to help pay off debt.

I have had two parties - NO ONE WANTS ANY OF THEM! The word HATE was even said by several of the ladies. So...

I find a general lack of interest in or excitement for the HWC products this year. People are not aiming for $60 to get the coupon holder for free. Many are not couponers so write it off immediately. They think the shoe cake cutter is cute but too expensive. No interest in the zebra stripes. I've sold a pink paring knife.

I also think that it is no longer unique to have special pink products. It seems like everywhere you turn there are pink products raising money for breast cancer. That's great, but it makes what we do no longer unique. Time for PC to come up with another approach to this.

Ditto what she said. 4 show already in May and only 4 HWC items sold...and nobody is interested in bumping up their order for the coupon holder. I feel awful as I usually sell HUNDREDS of HWC items each year

We've already had one a couple years ago. (I still use mine in my kitchen) So yes - they could always bring it back. That was a popular HWC item.

That's about what I've sold in 4 parties also. Everyone ohhhs, and ahhhhs over how cute the shoe is, but I have yet to sell one. I've sold a couple paring knives, and a microfiber towel.

In this era of crazy extreme couponing, what I keep hearing is that the coupon holder isn't big enough.

Yes, I've heard that from the couponers, too.

 

[sherri lynn]

Teresa, if you did not sell the coupon holders, I'm interested in one!

Basically, you set your budget and place everything in envelopes--lunch money, grocery money, etc. That way it's much less likely that you'll spend rent money on a clothing purchase splurge.

I really enjoy the pink knife... When I bring it out camping or at a party everyone wants one. Oh sorry, you can't get one! LOL Pink cutting boards would make it a nice set. Pink wine glasses or martini glasses can be given as individual gifts : ) pink lime squeezer & pink martini shaker?.. I was recently told that thing is great for those diet shakes.
