Looking for a Tote? - End of Month Needed

Click For Summary
There is significant interest in acquiring a specific tote, with many participants expressing frustration over not being able to earn one, particularly due to promotional timing at the beginning of the month. Several individuals have actively searched for the tote on platforms like eBay and Craigslist but have had no success. To address this, some are considering making their own custom totes or purchasing from a specific Etsy shop that offers custom designs. The custom options can be tailored to fit specific catalog sizes, although some caution that non-official bags cannot feature the official logo. There are also discussions about selling or trading existing totes among users, with some willing to part with their totes for cash. Additionally, some users are sharing insights on promotional strategies, advocating for earlier submissions to avoid congestion at the end of the month. Overall, there's a strong community interest in obtaining the tote and sharing creative solutions for those unable to earn one.

I was not able to earn the tote. I wish that it would have been for the end of the month instead of the beginning. Does anybody have one that they would like to sale?

I was checking ebay almost daily! In other incentives, you always see the items pop up.I've decided I'll just make one of my own. I've got several tote patterns. I can pick out my preferred fabric/colors, and then just have to figure out the best way to put the catalog-window on it it. The OTHER option, but she didn't have alot of selection right now is http://www.etsy.com/shop/minigilmore
I really like the brown/pink one with butterflyes on it. (It's $58). I figured if I bought one on e-bay -should it ever show up....we'd all be bidding against each other! :D But the catalog slot was a little small for ours..I think too narrow. Our catalog is 8"x10.5", her's shows 7.5"x10.5". I could easily just remove a cover and trim it down, or use my old Theme-Display cards trimmed down. Or the Custom Catalog bag she can make to fit. Haven't decided.
 
Bobbi,

I have one of Melony's bags, they are nice, she will also do custom work.

Thanks for the great reference. I have emailed her to see if she could make a purse that would fit the mini-catalog. I don't like a big purse but like the idea of being a walking billboard :)

$45 plus shipping...which is a little expensive but I guess not really when you figure it is a custom job.
 
I'm giving up something I like, but I need it for rent. I have the dot's HWC bag. I used it only a couple of times, so it looks brand new. I'm now using my catalog tote I earned in January. $45 including shipping. Paypal only. I have 72 hours to pay rent.

Mel makes it custom. You can choose what you want for a pattern. Mine is black with hot pink trim and hot pink dots.
 
I earned it and don't think I will ever use it. I was going to give it to a downline consultant, but I need some extra cash. Please let me know what you would pay and I will ship it to you.

I PM'd you.
 
I look forward to seeing the custom tote. You might suggest that she makes several and sells them from her sight since it seems like there are many people wanting one.
 
any one else have one i can buy from you? I would love one too.
 
Looking for the January Dots bag too. Anyone willing to sell theirs??? Heard they make great diaper bags! My e-mail is: [email protected]

I just wanted to comment that the reason the promotions are for the beginning of the month is that so many consultants put their shows in at the end of the month and HO is giving us incentives to submit earlier in the month to spread out the shipping. This February 28th they had over 30,000 shows submitted :eek:. That is just CRAZY! And it's not a good thing. It is not always possible to avoid it (I submitted 2 that day myself because I had no choice) but if we all get in the habit of submitting as soon as we can the shipping department could handle it better and the first week of the month wouldn't be so backed up either - shows happen all through the month and everything would be smoother if they were submitted that way. I tell all my last week of the month hosts that we are smarter to submit the day before the last day of the month rather than that last day or even the first week of the new month since they get things out really quick before the last day to be ready for the onslaught.


Another comment: It's not a bad idea at all to get a custom bag but remember that they can not use the PC logo on those bags as they are not the company's vendor.
 
I too would love a Dots Tote! Please PM me or email me at: [email protected] if you are willing to part!!!

Thanks!
