ummm.... I wonder why the stoneware is on special again. I bet you that they are coming out with a new style for spring!! I guess I will find out at leadership because I made Future Director!!!!:)
 
I was shocked as well with the stoneware but with it being all of the stoneware, I think I'll do pretty well with it. We'll see! I would love to start promoting January now but I need my December filled first so I can earn Level 2!!!!:D

You may be so right, but I'm not sure if I want a whole new line of Stoneware?!? I've had nothing but trouble with every show that ordered stoneware the past two months it is unreal. I don't see how they can afford a special for this again with all the pieces that broke and had to be replaced because of those unused tabs?
 
In past years we did have stoneware on special two times a year. It would be on sale in September and January. I think cookware is better. It will help pack in the shows for a tough month.
 
still being a newbie in ss3 I have to ask about that .. do they normally push what they are going to replace.. ie letscook40 " I bet you that they are coming out with a new style for spring"
Just want to know b/c my kit month is in nov.. tia~tiffanyp

My thoughts exactly--at least it is ALL the stones...in my area the large bar pan is pretty popular so getting people to book to get that for 60% off will be better than only being able to choose New Traditions.

I know that they are always surprising us with something. I started 2years ago when they came out with the cranberry color, maybe they will come out with a different color.
 
That was a bummer to find out about stoneware again! I was looking forward to 1.5 FREE product again! But the cookware is a good one I think!
 
I think they should have had this one during stonware sept! it's so much better! I had no specials sold expect the host's special and well my "mom" lol so i could complete my collection..but a few did by the normal one's anyways.. does any one know how long they have had the french van. that's what I just got finished buying .. if one is to go i bet it's that b/c the newest piece was only aval. in cranberry... didn't even think about that till now... boo ~tiffanyp
 
French Vanilla has been around for about 6 years or so... it was the 1st glazed stoneware they introduced and it came out when I was new to PC the first time around.

I think what we all have to remember as far as the Host Specials is that these are in *ADDITION* to our already AWESOME Host Program. So no matter what the specials are, our hosts are getting great deals and wonderful customer care.

I'm not even mentioning the Dec, Jan or Feb specials right now! I rarely even mention the specials when booking shows because I want them to focus on their sales for their free product!!!

Good luck everyone :)
 
I am glad to see stoneware again...my Sept. was a big flop. Everyone cancelled. Stoneware is the breadwinner of our products. It is what PC is known for. But, I hope they don't come out with a new color. I have too much stoneware already. I love it but I don't need anymore right now. I wish they would focus more on new products and not new colors of old products. I would love to see a Simple Additions canister set, cookie jar, and grease catcher (you know, something to drain the grease out of your skillet into that would look nice sitting on your stove). I would also like to see good quality dinnerware and silverware. I use my Simple Additions for plates on special occasions, but would love to see some cranberry plates, saucers, cups - normal size - and salad bowls. I personally do not like the tiles. The cranberry is pretty, but I wish it was solid. I really can't think of anything that we do not have. I would love to see an onion cutter...you put the onion on it, pull down a blade and the onion is diced into an attached container. The UM is great for onions, but it still makes you cry.

I'd love a cranberry TTA. How pretty!

I agree with the canisters though. I have had several people ask me about those, and also salt-and-pepper shakers.
 
I love the cranberry and hope this is never replaced. It goes with every kitchen, every decor. I cant even imagine what color they would introduce! Maybe the "butternut" color in the SA tiles - that would be pretty and new but I really cant imagine another color happening. Makes you wonder tho!
 
A cobalt blue would work in a lot of kitchens - I can see them doing that. I am thrilled with the specials in January and February - I started this month, so I missed the stoneware specials in September (although I did host and get some!!) I wish they would do the consultant special again too. lol
 
I am just excited becasue I have had a lot of people want the cookware but keep asking me if it goes on Specail now I can tell them about the hostess special in January!! The stoneware I am going to have some happy people becasue some of my guest didn't buy it becasue not allof it was on special!!
 
Host specialsThanks for sharing the flyers. I need to book two shows for Jan.:)
 
How does Cranberry go with every kitchen? What about the cobal blues that are so popular in the kitchen? Cranberry doesn't go so well with it...

I use my SA for every meal. I got rid of my other dishes in favor of SA. I LOVE the tiles and need to get more of them... I would love to see some flatware so I could really say that everything in my kitchen is PC ;)
 
I think it's great! Iam going to book book book!!!!!!
 
I agree about the silverware! I also would love to have SA canisters & salt & pepper shakers. I have finally gotten almost all of the stoneware, so I hope they don't come out with a new color! I'm kind of tired of the products just getting put in special colors for one season b/c then most of it is of no use to me once that season is over. Although, I LOVE the small mix n scrapers, so I did get one in all three colors & use them all the time!
 
thank you for posting!!
I am very excited about the cookware!! the stoneware doesn't really float my boat but oh well I'm going to do my best and hopefully I will be supprised!!

HTH!

My Director finally emailed me, it's Randy Weiss, Wave 1 WOO HOO!!!!

I'm working a goofy shift now, ( I chose it but come home from work around midnight and have been staying up until 6-7 a.m. going to sleep until I go back to work, then on Fri or Sat cram in my errands or sleep alot.) Anyways, I"m glad it's WAVE 1 and I"m planning on being there too. Even if my request gets denied!!!
 
I'm in Randy's downline too. Must be a Texas thing! Good luck & hope to see you there...will you fly to Houston first and then connect?

I got the February specials too . ..

Is anyone else thinking it's TOO SOON to make stones the special again???? The only one people are aching to get is the out-of-stock one! I love our stones, but they just had that temptation... *sigh*. Ok, chin up, expand! New hosts/guests may not have heard of Sept specials...

Think of the paychecks they are missing by waiting! They have the super starter program as an awesome promotion and if PC does a recruiting promotion later they can take advantage of it on the consultant side. Also, any consultant promotion could be considered a recruiting promotion since new consultants can earn them along with the super starter program.

Anyone who joins now will earn NEW Spring products with their sales in November and December.

Never hold off on signing someone for any reason!

You are the bomb! Thank you Beth!

They need to make the silicone mitts cranberry ~ the red clashes with every kitchen! yuck!
 
Did you see the consultant special for January? I am shooting for free national conference! I hope February is double points for the trip! Anyone heard any rumors on that one? Kristi

They had seasonal items in cobalt, a deep dish pie plate and the crock. I gave them to my mother as gifts for her kitchen.

The cranberry doesn't at all go with my kitchen, but I still find it very pretty. I have always been a fan of just the Classics but since when it comes to the bakers they are getting rid of the Classics in favor of the New Trad, I just have to suck it up. :)

You have to look at this from the guests perspective. They couldn't get All of the stoneware they wanted in September and all of it wasn't on sale. I got a lot of questions about that. I am already booking Feb. shows due to this. There is much excitment in my neck of the woods. Call all of the people who bought stoneware in September and tell them about the special in Feb and see if they would like to host or at least place an order. Most of them have a list of the pieces they want and will buy when it is on sale.
