did anyone purchase the new Merril 2009 calendar at conference? I know there were only sold in large packs. When I went to get them, they were all out.
If anyone purchased them, can I purchase one from you???? and how much do you want for it?
Thanks
Becky
 
They are $36.95 for a 25-pack on Merrill - backordered until 8/11.I KNOW Kristi got some at Conference so maybe check with her.

thanks Janet. I was hoping someone was willing to part with one so I didn't have to buy the whole mess of them. I have no need for all of them.
 
I didn't think I'd want them. I hate when people just give me calendars. I usually wind up with several. Then someone mentioned giving hosts a choice between whatever you usually give the host and a PC calendar. Now, given the chance to choose a calendar that reflects my interests would be a completely different thing. I wasn't impressed enough to brave the Merrill booth again, so I just thought I'd order them. Sounds like I'd better do it soon if I want to start offering them in September/October.
 
Me and 2 friends bought a pack of 25 and we split them. I think I will offer oct?/nov/dec hosts the choice of calendar or another gift. and I liked the idea of having guests write their bdays on the calendar!

Yup, I got50 but a sister director and I split them. I'm planning on using them all but I can spare one. I just don't know how I'd ship it. There's no envelope big enough to do it. Any suggestions?
 
I got some too, I think they will be great incentives.
 
I got a pack of 25 but wish I had gotten more. They were gone when I went back & now they are backordered. I think they will make a great Christmas gift to preferred hosts/guests. Each month has a different recipe which makes it much nicer than just some calendar.
 
I ordered 100 of them, and just got them in today. I ordered them EARLY the day they went on backorder.
 
I was thinking about giving them to my hosts and then sending a label for them to put on on the month with the specials, maybe even offer them an incentive to book or order by a certain day of the month and they can put the sticker on the day of the month to remember. Not sure about all the details, but was just looking at the new calendars I ordered and received today! Just one thing about the way Merrill ships them, they seems to be bent on the edges, I have taken mine out of the shrinkwrap to help from them bending.. just an fyi.

I also ordered 100 early the first morning they were available they arrived today in great shape. My gotta have it/love it stickers were loose inside and were stuck on everything in the box and torn off I started counting the cardboard backs and only had 7 and you have to order a minimum of 12 so they are reshipping those.Very impressed with the quick turnaround from Merrill
