[Christ Follower]

[heat123]

SWEET! SA specials!

 

[Christ Follower]

Ohh my SIL will most likey book November now! Wooo Hooo.

 

[DebbieJ]

Rock on!

 

[Christ Follower]

As much as I like 20% off SA, I was really hoping for a "spend $$ and get xyz for FREE" Maybe I'll make my own special. I need to boost sales for the holidays.

 

[vtchef]

Awesome host specials, I love Simple Additions

 

[BethCooks4U]

I agree. I rarely get many sales on the special when it's a percent off. I prefer the spend $$ get this free promotion because it's not hard to get someone to add $5 or 10 but to add something they aren't looking at isn't as easy. That being said, a lot of people do like the SA!!

From what I understand after talking with someone at Home Office, there will no longer be the "spend $" get this for free. Apparently people were taking advantage of it and trying to beat the system by combining orders, etc.... so I started my own basket of goodies, they get to pick from if they spend so much...

 

[ginamkiely]

Ohh I definitely want the Dots Large Round Bowl so that's exciting!! I was going to use my PC bucks but i'l save them for something else!

 

[pamperedpals]

I just saw the notice in my email! Wahoo SA! I can't wait to start letting everyone know. I'm home with the kids tomorrow, as mom is sick and can't watch the kids. Guess I know what I will be doing during naptime. Customer Care calls!

What kind of stuff do you put in your basket?
What do you use as a basket?
I started usingn the Dots Round Bowl to hold Nylon Scrapers, Twixit Clips, Citrus Peelers, etc...what are you doing?

Yep. That's what happens when the system is abused. That's so better than raising the shipping though!

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life!:balloon:

That's the best way to look at these things!!

I'm excited about the November specials but am really surprise the forged carving set wasn't part of it.

 

[finley1991]

Wow... I should really start reading those website update e-mails. Honestly! I read everything from HO EXCEPT those! Live & learn!

 

[Tara1021]

It was so long, I just scanned it...didn't read the part about November.

DUH!:yuck:

 

[jenwallace]

Wow... I should really start reading those website update e-mails. Honestly! I read everything from HO EXCEPT those! Live & learn!

I know, I usually skip them too, but for some reason read this one. Glad I did! I can't wait to tell a specific past host about this. She loves SA!

 

[JaimeQ]

I got mine after I read it on here

 

[ChefLoriG]

I put the normal stuff in my basket, paring knives, twixits, nylon scrapers, etc, for when they spend 50, if they spend 100, then mini serving spatula, i slice that sort of thing.

My basket is the medium woven square we got for attending conference, then doing shows or something like that. Great way to show off the woven without having to bring a huge one.

 

[JaimeQ]

That's a really good idea I'm gonna have to remember that at my next show

 

[Cindycooks]

My eyes must have scanned it too - I read it and can't believe I didnt notice that! I thought it would be the forged carving knives too - but maybe they decided not since the knives are the special this month.
SA is a great idea and I have a bazaar the end of October where I am going to display the plates and caddy - I'll just have to bring more SA! cool!

So who wants to call if for December because that is when I thought it would be the plates and caddy!

That's exactly what I thought! ...hmmm something entertaining - woven and oil dipping set have been done but... OR MAYBE they will introduce a December host only product like they did last year with the large SS bowl??!

 

[jrstephens]

YAHOO!!! That will show me not to read the WHOLE email when I get one! HA!!!

 

[ChefJeniLobdell]

for those of you who have a basket for guests that spend $50 or $100 to choose from. Do you also give a gift for bringing a guest or outside order? I currently offer a twix-it, nylon scraper, etc. for brining a guest. I like the idea of a basket for guests who spend the $50 or $100.
