Kit Enhancements: Exploring Solutions to Increase Efficiency

[PCSarahjm]

What is Kit enhancements?

Kit enhancement is a program that lets you add to your consultant kit supplies at a 40% discount. For new consultants, you can order products at 40% off in your 4th month. For everyone else, it's every year in April. You can order any product in the catalog for 40% off, but are limited to 1 of each item.

So what do you suggest I get?

 

[chefann]

I recommend things that you think you'll use at a show frequently: stones, simple additions pieces, scrapers, etc. Read through your favorite show recipes and make a list of the tools they use. What's great about kit enhancement is that you can use the PC$ that you earn in your first 90 days to pay for it!

My 4th month is August will I beable to order new fall products then??? Sorry I am so full of questions.... I am new and I really have know idea where else to find this information. This site has been so helpful!!!

This is a great site but don't forget your recruiter and director are also great sources of information. I don't think you can get fall products, only what is current in August. You will have an opportunity to purchase your fall products really soon (by the end of the month I think) at the sample price which is usually about 50%.

 

[chefann]

That's correct, Susan.You can order items from the current catalog as a Kit Enhancement order. You're also limited to 1 of each item, and a total retail of $500 ($300 after discount).Fall samples will be available starting near the end of July, and will be available to current consultants until September 30. We'll be able to purchase them at 50% off. If you earned any in the June/July sell-a-thon, you can either skip ordering those items, or order duplicates to use as gifts (or to keep one in your kitchen and one in your kit).

I was sad to read that we cannot purchase anything that came with our kit. I love the prep bowls and we only got two of them. I would have loved to get the entire 6 in the 40% off month. Same thing for the easy-read cups--we got the large one, so I assume that means we can't get the whole set during kit enhancement months. Right?

You might be able to...not sure though. Maybe you can call and ask HO.

I would email or call HO and check on that one.......because you only got a "sample" of the product, maybe you can get the whole set as part of your kit enhancement.

Thanks Becky and Ellen. Yes, I just need to call and ask them. I would also love double of other items--like the classic batter bowl, etc. Some items are just great to have two of. But I also understand why they do it--making sure we're not letting guests order at 40% off or buying for everyone on our Christmas lists, etc.
