[raebates]

I need something to put on a bag that will generate questions - 2 lines, max 8 characters per line.

Ideas?

[raebates]

That's trademarked. Can't use it.

 

[magentablue]

True...I'm

[raebates]

That's good.

Any other suggestions?

Do you like FREE stuff?

 

[raebates]

I wish I could, but I'm limited to 2 lines of 8 characters each. Spaces are counted as characters.

Great ideas from everyone and not to sound ignorant but what are the bags being used for?

 

[ShelbyMichalek]

I like their large rectangle bag (I cannot for the life of me think of the name) for taking my stuff to shows. It's prettier than the PC black bags and holds less (which is better because I can take two instead of the one large bag and it's better on my back/shoulders/baby belly )

Okay, thanks! I've never heard of 31 Gifts before. Looks like they have some neat things.

I ordered a purse. My pink dots bag that I've been carrying is starting to show wear, but I didn't like anything available at Merrill.

 

[raebates]

Great ideas. I must admit that many of them, like a lot of the ones that popped into my own head, sounded a bit too much like a caterer. Others made me nervous that people might expect something much more intimate than a PC show. Of course, my biggest obstacle was that I needed to place the order before I left the event I was doing with the Thirty-One rep, which was at 4 p.m. EST Saturday. I went with "I am Pampered." Since I'm often wearing PC logo wear, it should work. Now I'm excited to get my bag.

 

[BethCooks4U]

Too late for Rae but in case anyone else wants additional ideas I woke up this morning with this one:

PC Lady

or

TPC Lady

 

[raebates]

I love using TPC, Beth. I wish I'd thought of something with that for my bag. Maybe I'll use it in the future. I kept thinking of stuff using PC and couldn't help thinking that people would peg me as a big proponent of political correctness.

Funny, I see Personal Computer when I see "PC".

 

[ShelbyMichalek]

Rae did you order the big purse (I think it's called the Medium Tote or something like that) that's not huge but its big enough to hold catalogs, etc? I've been wanting that one. Especially since the outside pocket is short enough that you can stick a catalog in it and the title still shows.

 

[raebates]

I ordered the medium purse. It's about the same size as the tote I carry now.

I have the black 31 tote bag and I found that a hanging file folder stand (made by Oxford) fits right inside nicely. I use this as my "business" bag for shows. I have my hanging folders in there that contain my show folders, host packets and business opportunity packets. In the pouches on the outside, I have my pen case, my calculator and my recipe cards. I use one of the open pouches on the front to drop my car keys in and then I know where they are when I am ready to leave. It's worked great for me so far.

Is this the one they had on sale last month if you spent $31?

 

[magentablue]

What do ya'll carry your laptop in? I have a coach bag that I bought mumble mumble years ago before everything was wide screen. I have to put my laptop in sideways. I'd like to get another bag!

 

[minirottie]

My friend (an ex PC'er) just sent me her old PC messenger bag, and I was thrilled yesterday to see my laptop fit into it, along with catalogs, binders that I carry, etc.

I carry my laptop in either the briefcase I got when I went to Director Academy or in the HWC black and pink bag. Both of those bags are large enough to also handle 1 or 2 host packets, my calendar, recruit info, the pens, prizes (if I play a game), name tags, and additional flyers.

 

[jla8279]

Yes- that's the bag I use. I ended up buying 1 more bag during that special that I can use for a team incentive and getting a second one for $5.00 (along with another small bag to get to the $31.00 requirement). I love this bag and it has everything I need in it to work for me.

 

[chefheidi2003]

Funny, I see Personal Computer when I see "PC".

That is what I think as well.

 

[chefheidi2003]

I love this idea..and I am going to a 31 party on Friday so I might have to keep it in mind..maybe a skirt for the skirt purse so that I can change it out.

I ended up getting a skirt and got Pampered? on it..I can't wait to get it.

 

[CooknSteph]

I just went to a party today and ordered the all in one organizer for catalogs pens ect. I was going to get Pampered Chef but couldn't because of trademark. I'm thinking of calling her back and getting her to put pampered chef on it but spell it backwords. I'm thinking that that might really draw attention because they will have to take a minute to figure it out.
My other thought was to put Portable Office on it scense it is a show item and not going to be used out and about.

 

[nene960]

Ok, I sell 31 in addition to PC. The medium purse is big. Great size if you are going to carry catalogs. The Organizing Utility Tote is another GREAT bag. It has a 7 pockets on the outside and is big enough to hold all of your catalogs, receipts, money bag, calculator, and any paperwork items you need to take. The laptop case is the best. I didn't think I was going to like it but I love it. It perfectly holds my 17" laptop. I never thought about using the Large Utility Tote for my PC show. Guess I will have to start doing that.

I've been considering this myself ..... don't know how serious I am but would love some info. Can you PM me with the basics?

I hadn't thought of using these to carry my stuff to shows - now I'm looking forward to my next 31 invite!

 

[nikkies]

A good friend of mine sells 31, I'm doing a party for her and she's doing one for me. I can't wait to get some bags/totes to carry my stuff in

 

[Dotty]

I've been tempted to get one that says

Ask Me How

I have the large black tote bag. I love it!

I went to a party in I guess October..whenever you could get the Organizing Utility Tote for $5 with a $31 purchase..I got 1 for me..1 for my bff..and 1 because I could and figured I would use it as a gift..but I think I am going to keep 2 for me..one for my PC stuff..and 1 for other stuff.

 

[Lisa/ChefBear]

Ok, I'm going to be closing a catalog show tomorrow and I get a half price item....what do I want that will help my business the best?? I was looking at the Cindy Tote, but not sure now after reading some posts here I might want to order tote that I can carry things in.

I also would like a nicer laptop case, but with laptop, calendar, etc. I don't know that what they have will work, unless I get different calendar... what do you suggest for use with laptop??

What do you use the Zippered Pouch for?? I got 3 of these, they are HUGE, not what I was expecting.

Also, I LOVE their Thermal totes, that's what made me do cattie sale, with prices they are this month!! Great for gifts!

thanks for advice...

 

[mommyhugz1978]

I have the zipper pouch and mine say's Show Money and then I have the large carrying tote and it say's show bag....For a party on the go!! It works then it's just in the back of the car and already to go!!!

HEY..thanks for the idea..I didn't get anything embroidered on it..but i just got the Zipper pouch for free..I can start using it as my money pouch.

 

[pctharper]

I'm going to a show next week. I want to really spruce up the stuff I carry everything to a show in. After reading this, I've come up with a list of things I should consider getting:

Large utility tote-to carry product
Organizing utility tote-carry business supplies
or
Medium purse-carry catlogs and host packets
Laptop case-for...well...the laptop!
Zipper pouch-for money, pens, and drawing slips

I'm not buying all this next week-defiently don't have the $$ for it! Just want to get a 'wish list' started. I've been talking with this 31 consultant and I'm hoping to set some groundwork for us to trade shows!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

[mommyhugz1978]

Great..thanks..I wasn't sure what I was going to use it for..but it was free..LOL.

I use it when I leave shows I just fold them in half and put them in their and then when I get home I just take them out and organize them!!


Free is a beautiful thing!!

I have a show open right now that Im doing for a friend that does PC and 31 - she has a bag that says "Get in my Belly"If anyone wants to order on the show the Thermal Totes are on sale right now for $10http://www.mythirtyone.com/thepartyladythere is a link that I will get credit for the sale - they have awesome stuff!!I was under the impression that as Directors we have permission to use the Pampered Chef Logo - am I wrong in this?

 

[raebates]

Thirty-One will not do any protected logos. Period. At least that's my understanding.
