Can't Make Conference? See What You're Missing!

[mountainmama74]

I didn't get close up pics of EVERYTHING, but at least you get a taste!! Enjoy!!

 

[Fluffy215]

That was a very big help Thank you so much At least give us ideas of the new products.

 

[cookingwith_tara]

oh my word .. I am so excited!! I'm curious what your bag looks like .. I know every year they give you some sort of shoulder bag or tote bag .. did you get a picture of it??

 

[kcjodih]

Thanks so much to both of you for sharing and thanks also for the pics!

It looks like the spice turnabout will hold the spices but not the wider garlic parmesan etc. Any idea how many spices it holds? And I'm not sure if it was only me or not but I pictured the spice turnabout to have the spices slide in horizontally or at an angle but maybe 4 rows, maybe 5 or six down in each row. Guess it's because that's what my old ugly wooden one use to look like lol

 

[ChefLAM]

Thanks for giving us the inside information!

 

[KayPT]

Thank you so much for posting your pics. I feel like I no what is going on. I am so excited!! Now to figure out the new can opener!

 

[leftymac]

I'm very grateful for those of you who gave us updates, especially the live ones. Thank you for taking time out of your conference experience to think of us.

 

[msmileyface]

I know it's been said but I'll say it again, thank you to everyone who is sharing information! I hope that you are having a great time at Conference!!

 

[LeslieSGI]

Just adding to the "noise" on here but many, many thanks! I hope I can return the favor sometime.​

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

I asked a clustermate what we are getting for the $1,500 level and this is what she said:

Can opener
Cherry almond sauce
Bamboo slotted spoon set
Biscuit cutters
Pie plate
Nylon slice n serve
Twixit set
Lemon and rosemary oil
Snowman round plates
Quikut knife
Microfiber towel weekday dinner two

She did not say if the stuff from the 2 show level is included in this list ... I'm guessing (hoping) not.I have to be honest ... If I were to pick 10 products there is not much I'm looking for that is on this list, but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth. If it's for free, it's for me.

 

[iblvnaff]

There's never too many thank you's!!!! :sing:

 

[DebbieJ]

I just posted the SAT handout in its own thread.

 

[lkbcovington]

I apologize in advance for the yucky formatting, but I only have Microsoft Works on my netbook. You should get the idea though and can likely improve it pretty easily. I'm brand new to TPC- haven't even had my first show yet, so of course I wasn't at conference. But thanks to our fabulous cheffers who did go and posted pics, I was able to throw together this quick 'handout' of the new products with prices and pics. Hope someone finds it helpful.

 

[Candi_f]

So incredibly sad I couldn't make it this year...but you guys are awesome! Thanks so much for sharing all the details and photos!

 

[msmileyface]

I may have missed this, but what is the Spice Turnabout going to sell for?

 

[DebbieJ]

I may have missed this, but what is the Spice Turnabout going to sell for?

it is $19.50

Just hang tight and Joy from Tasty Tidbits will make one up! The general advice is to NOT share this info with your customers until you have your July and August where you want them. Keep booking July and August! Worry about sharing the new products when September gets here.

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

Thank you everyone! And that handy dandy handout rocks! Probably looks even spiffier at home!And I won't hand it out to my customers either .... but it IS nice to know the prices for our own information.

Thanks for the advice. This was mostly just to share with family members and the couple of hosts I have already committed for September shows. My goal is only for 2-3 shows per month b/c I also work a full time job (65+ hrs/wk) and another part-time job that takes about 20 hrs/wk. TPC is mostly stress relief for me and a way to support my addiction to the products.

I could do so much more if I was not on this netbook, but alas, I left the laptop with all the good software at the office today. Oh well- maybe I can work on it tomorrow during lunch.

 

[MissChef]

Thanks Debbie! and the others who have been posting the new products info and pics!
I was registered to go and couldn't make it.. had too much personal stuff going on at home and just couldn't swing it this year.. but I will be back next year.. I have only missed 4 conferences in the 11 years I've been selling..
This year was the hardest so far for me! Sure wish I could be there!
and Debbie, Im sorry I couldn't see you this year.. you have always been so much fun to me! will see you next year and again thank you!:love:

 

[chefheidi2003]

Thank you so much for all of the info that everyone posted.

I must admit that when nene posted what he new colors were I was not thrilled..BUT..looking at the pics..I kind of like them.

 

[NooraK]

I like the purple on its own, but that thing with the purple and orange towels next to each other... :yuck:

 

[gailz2]

I have to be honest ... If I were to pick 10 products there is not much I'm looking for that is on this list, but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth. If it's for free, it's for me.

Di, I have to agree. The only one from this list I wanted is the slotted spoons, but my taste isn't always the same as my customers. I was hoping for one of the new bamboo bowls at least. I have never in my life made biscuits, and would be surprised if there are many that do--but then, I am not a baker, mostly a cook.

Yes, I can't complain about getting anything for free (except the taxes we pay on it). Oh no, am I sounding like Dreaded Dora, or Downer Deb, or whoever that was? Guess I need some more coffee. Sorry.

 

[Sheila]

I like the purple on its own, but that thing with the purple and orange towels next to each other... :yuck:

My first thought when I saw the purple & orange together was a Halloween Theme.

 

[babywings76]

A couple of critiquing thoughts:I wonder what's so special about the biscuit cutters that people would buy them from us as opposed to Walmart or some place? I'm not too excited about these new colors. Do they go well with the dots? I was liking the cranberry stuff, but do these new colors coordinate w/ it okay? Would they look nice next to the glazed stoneware?I think it's neat that they came up with utensils that won't scratch the aluminum pans. Next, they should come up w/ a mini serving spatula made out of the Nylon, too, so it can be used w/ the square pan. I can't wait to look through those cookbooks. (Someone mentioned wishing for a DCB cookbook, but I think now with the status change of the DCB being only for hosts, that it would be put on the back burner.)I wish there were more kitchen/baking/cooking tools and less entertaining pieces. I don't have much luck selling bamboo and the glass plates and such. People still seem to like cooking and baking things. I'm excited about the sauces and rubs/seasonings. I can't wait to try them.

I was thinking the same thing about the colors. I like the purple (eggplant?) and that will probably match the dots. But not sure about the orange (pumpkin?) which I am not overly thrilled with. Can't remmeber the exact shade of the 3rd color...green?

I DO like the picture of the cranberry funnel.

I am always all about the recipes - so I am chomping at the bit to see the SB and new cookbooks.

I also agree with you on the Bamboo. I think the new pieces are really pretty and I will use them. But, I don't have much luck around here either with selling ANY Bamboo. And I always bring a piece to a show. I know you mentioned in another post about the grocery store selling Bamboo. You aren't too far from me, I think. So are you talking about Giant? I saw them too. So, yes, it is hard to sell our Bamboo when the grocery store has them on special.

And I can't wait to try the Buffalo rub!!
