Hey All. I am a newbie. And i am trying to figure out what to order on my first supply order. Any suggestions on what i will need more of than others.. i dont want to spend to much but i want to have enough stuff. Also i thought i saw somewhere that the currrent catalog will change soon so should i only order 25 or 100 but by what i remember reading it sounded like only the cover will change.. does any one know.. also if yall can help me out on what to order.. thanks in andvance
 
Well Iwould order some DPDS, Write in recipts, Seasons best cookbooks ( good door prizes) the catalogs change covers in Nov. so I would order like 45 total unless you have a lot of shows planned... then I would order 100 catalogs. I orderd 45 to get me started with the new season then I will go from their. I would get some sample or soap and the loation for door prizes. That is what I did ..... I also got the citrus peeler for door prizes as well as the paring knifes.... it's a start!!! you will know by the end of September what you will truly need at your shows!!! Good Luck.. and welcome to PC!!!
 
You'll also want some show planners, host benefits flyers--any other brochures you want to give out or display. I use Seasons best & paring knives as hostess gifts, and citrus peelers, twixits, and pan scrapers an door prizes. If you're using pampered partner, you'll want those receipts; also whatever kind of receipts you want to use at your shows. I mail out my invites, so I use the 3 part guest list form. That's all I can think of for now. Just tailor your order to how you want to run your business! Use whatever you like as prizes & such.
 
Did you already get the supply booster kit for $30? If not, get that and just add the door prizes that you want to the supply booster and that should be really all that you "need".
 
How did you order 45 catalogs?Did I miss something somewhere? I though it was 25 or 100?

Pretty Simple I ordered two sets of 25!!! 25+25=45 total catalogs
 
25 + 25 = 50, not 45

Hey Sugar,

25+25 = 50 **giggle giggle**

The calculator has ruined all of my "mind math" too! I sometimes wish I had more toes and fingers to use! :p :p
 
Most days 2 + 2= 3....I always seem to loose something somewhere!!
 
Oh shoot, now I feel like an idiot ..... Okay I have 5 more catalogs than I did before whoo party for me!!!!!!
