Is there a special # for ordering the F/W catalogs with the Holiday cover?

I can't find one on my supply order page on P3.:confused:

Do we just use the same #, and they automatically ship?
 
The wire email 10/21 said that they would send the number in a coming email but didn't see it in the 10/28 email.

Yeah, I looked there too....I thought maybe it was just downloaded onto P3 - but I'm not finding it there either. I'm in desperate need of catalogs, and I was working hard to hold on til Nov 1 to order more...I MUST place this order today, as I need mini's for invites too...and I only have 15 of those left, with 3 shows that I need to get in the mail this week!
 
The Nov CN didn't have anything in there about it either.

I HATE when the 1st falls on the week end. So now we're stuck till Monday...:cry:
 
I was holding out to place an order today as well. ugh!
 
How do we enter the stonewear orders today, too? I was entering in outside orders for a show later today and the prices are not reflected!
 
Sounds like someone might have forgotten to update the system before they left Friday.

You have to use the special item numbers on the Nov guest special flyer to get the special pricing.

Are you using the GC numbers from the guest special sheet?
 
Anyone know if the catalog ordering issue is fixed? I haven't tried yet, but I'd like to know ahead of time that I'll be wasting my time! ;)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I order the new Pampered Chef catalogs before the holidays?

Ordering the new catalogs before the holidays allows you to showcase the latest products and recipes to your customers, helping to boost sales during the busy holiday season. It also gives you time to familiarize yourself with the new offerings and plan your holiday promotions effectively.

When is the best time to order the new catalogs?

The best time to order the new catalogs is as soon as they become available, ideally a few weeks before the holiday shopping season begins. This ensures you have enough time to distribute them to your customers and incorporate them into your marketing strategies.

How many catalogs should I order for the holiday season?

The number of catalogs you should order depends on your customer base and sales goals. A good rule of thumb is to order enough to ensure each of your regular customers receives one, plus a few extras for potential new customers or events. Consider your past sales and customer interactions to help determine the right quantity.

Can I use the new catalogs for holiday-themed parties?

Yes, the new catalogs can be a great tool for holiday-themed parties. They feature seasonal recipes and products that can inspire your guests and encourage them to make purchases. Be sure to highlight any special holiday promotions or bundles available in the catalog during your parties.

What if I run out of catalogs during the holiday season?

If you run out of catalogs during the holiday season, you can always place a reorder. Additionally, consider utilizing digital catalogs or online resources to share with customers who may not receive a physical copy. This way, you can still promote the products and maintain engagement with your audience.
